including the increased pressure load of 5,400 Pa, making
them ideal for use in areas with large amounts of snow. The
local regulations or the standard EUROCODE 1 (EN 1991-1)
should be used for the calculation of the snow loads on the
module. It is important to note that these standards are
designed for impact on structures and do not explicitly take
into account the installation of solar modules.
In regions with particularly high snowfall, the pressure load
calculated in accordance with the standard based on local
snow load information may be significantly exceeded due to
snow overhang or build-up on the solar modules, which could
result in above-average stress on the bottom frame edge.
SOLARWATT therefore tests its modules above and beyond the
standard IEC 61215 Ed.2 and in accordance with additional
standards, taking into account additional loads in the event of
snow overhang or build-up to reflect the actual loads encoun-
tered in practice and to ensure that our products work safely
throughout their entire service life. The maximum pressure
loads for the fastening methods listed below already take into
account these increased requirements and can be regarded
as the maximum pressure load in the installation conditions
taking into account the shape coefficients in accordance with
EUROCODE 1 (EN 1991-1).

The solar module heats up during opera-
tion. Ensure that there is sufficient rear
ventilation to avoid reductions in yield.
Also ensure that no flammable gases can
escape or accumulate close by.

WARning
The solar modules are not designed for
concentrated irradiation. Bundling
or concentrating solar irradiation
through lenses or mirrors is therefore
not permitted and can damage the solar
modules.
The drainage holes in the module frame
must not be covered, as it could cause
frost damage on the module frame. Ensure
that water cannot run constantly towards
the cable screws or plug connectors. Do
not place any plug connectors in the frame
for this reason.
Fastening on the fastening holes
The maximum pressure load to the solar module for
the installation method is 2,400 N/m².
The SOLARWATT BLUE modules can be fastened in a number
of ways:
