SAFETY AND INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR 

PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES 

 

Fig. 2:  Orientation Vs. Azimuth 

 

The tilt angle of ideal average throughout Ontario, 

Canada is 

β = 30°; however, even the inclination 

typical the roof  of a dwelling (β = 15-20°), being 

already an inclined plane, could make the angle 

acceptable, if not ideal, for the installation of 

coplanar modules on it (using a special standard 

structure for support). 

 

Depending on the variation of the tilt angle of the 

modules with respect to the ground,  or of their 

orientation in relation to facing south (Azimuth), 

there will be changes in the annual average 

amount of energy produced by the modules 

themselves, and therefore, of the plant connected 

to the network to which they are linked.

3. Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 

Listing Information 

This product meets or exceeds the requirements 

set forth by UL 1703 for PV Modules. This UL 

Standard covers flat-plate PV modules and panels 

intended for installation on buildings or those 

intended to be freestanding. To satisfy the listing 

for this product the modules must be mounted 

with a rack or standoff structure. The UL listing 

does not include integration into a building 

surface because additional requirements may 

apply. This product is not intended for use where 

artificially concentrated sunlight is applied to the 

module. 

 

4. Limited Warranty 

Please refer to SILFAB General Terms and 

Conditions of Sale for details of the modules’ 

limited warranty. Failure to comply with this 

Safety and Installation Manual will invalidate 

SILFAB Warranty for the PV modules as stated in 

the General Terms and Conditions of Sale. 

 

5. Module Specification 

Please refer to the technical datasheet for the 

module SILFAB SLA or SLG   respectively for 

electrical performance data. These electrical data 

are measured under Standard Test Conditions 

(STC) of 1000 W/m

2

 irradiance, with Air Mass (AM) 

of 1.5 spectrum, and a cell temperature of 25°C.
