Installation Site
Please note the following guidelines that apply to the installation
site:
•
The modules have been tested according to UL 1703 and IEC
61215 for operation in a temperate climate.
•
Solar modules are not explosion-proof.
Ä
Do not operate solar modules near highly flammable gas and
vapors (e.g. gas tanks, gas stations).
Ä
Do not install modules in enclosed space.
Ä
Do not install modules in locations where they may be submerged
in water for lengthy periods.
Ä
Do not use modules as a substitute for the normal roofing
(e.g. modules are not rainproof).
Prevention of Shadowing effects
Optimal solar irradiation leads to maximum energy output:
Ä
For this reason, install the modules so that they face the sun.
Ä
Avoid shadowing (due to objects such as buildings, chimneys or
trees).
Ä
Avoid partial shading (for example through overhead lines, dirt,
snow).
Limitations
The solar modules are designed for the following applications:
•
Operating temperatures from –40 °F to +185 °F.
•
Wind and snow loads up to max. 5,400 Pa (as tested according
to IEC 61215).
•
Installation using a mounting frame for solar modules.
Mounting Frame requirements
Requirements for the mounting frame:
•
Conforms to the necessary structural requirements.
•
Compliant with local snow and wind loads.
•
Properly fastened to the ground, the roof, or the façade.
•
Forces acting on the module are relayed to the mounting substructure.
•
Ensures sufficient rear ventilation of the module.
•
Guarantees long-term stability.
•
Has electrochemical series that prevent corrosion among different
metals.
•
Allows for stress-free expansion and contraction due to temperature
fluctuations.
Ä
Ensure that no mechanical stresses (e.g., caused by vibrations,
twisting, or expansion) are generated on the module.
Ä
Ensure that the clamps and the mounting frame are compatible.
Clamp System requirements
Use customary clamps that satisfy the following requirements:
•
Clamp width:
≥
1.50 in (38 mm).
•
Clamp height compliant with a 1.38 in (35 mm) frame height.
•
Clamp depth: 0.20–0.47 in (5–12 mm).
•
Clamps are not in contact with the front glass.
•
Clamps do not deform the frame.
•
Clamps that satisfy the structural requirements of the installation site.
•
Long-term stable clamps that securely affix the module to the
mounting frame.
Module orientation requirements
•
Vertical or horizontal installation is permitted.
•
Installation with a junction box at the bottom is permitted for
modules with junction boxes classified as IP67.
Ä
Ensure that rain and melting snow can run off freely. No water
accumulation.
Ä
Ensure that the drainage holes in the frame are not covered. No
sealing.
•
A module with 45.67 in long (1,160 mm) cable
can be wired as a "2nd next neighbor".
"2nd next neighbor" - Wiring without a return
cable.

Ä
Maintain the permissible angle of inclination.
•
Minimum angle of inclination: 3°
•
Maximum angle of inclination: 80°
•
> 20°: self-cleaning effect.
