1. Introduction
Perlight Solar modules consist of a series of electrically interconnected crystalline silicon
solar cells, which are permanently encapsulated between a tempered glass superstrate and
substrate. The entire laminate is secured within an anodized aluminium frame for structural
strength; ease of installation and to protect the cells from the most severe environmental
conditions. Perlight Solar modules are a highly reliable, virtually maintenance-free direct
current (DC) power source, designed to operate efficiently in sunlight.
The Perlight Integrated Roof Tile (IRT) can be used directly as a roof tile and can cut roofing
costs by reducing the number of traditional roof tiles needed. The design of Perlight IRT is
different from other BIPV designs in the industry. The module is waterproof due to its physical
structure. No other chemical compound such as rubber are used to seal the module to make
it waterproof, which reduces the risk of water leakage caused by compound aging. The colour
of Perlight IRT is mainly black, to blend in with the roof appearance. Installation of Perlight IRT
is very convenient in comparison to other products with the same functionality, the number of
fittings installed is reduced by more than 50%.
Please read this manual carefully prior to handling and installation.
Installation and maintenance of Perlight Solar modules may only be carried out by trained and
qualified personnel. If you require further information, contact your supplier or local Perlight
Service Centre.
Please provide a copy of this manual to the owner and operator of the PV system for
reference.
Thank you for choosing Perlight IRT modules.
2. Class Application
The modules are qualified for application class A: Hazardous voltage (IEC 61730: higher than
50V DC; EN 61730: higher than 120V), hazardous power applications (higher than 240W)
where general contact access is anticipated (Modules qualified for safety through EN IEC
61730-1 and -2 within this application class are considered to meet the requirements for
Safety Class II).
