Consult local laws and regulations before installing modules to comply with building fire proofing
safety requirements.
Different roof structure and installation methods will affect the building's fire proofing safety
performance. If the module is not properly installed, it may cause a fire.
Use the appropriate components such as fuses, circuit breakers, and ground connectors as required
by local regulations. Do not use modules if flammable gas is present nearby.
4. installation conditions
4.1 Installation Location and working environment
The module can only be used on earth under 2000m altitude, not in space.
Modules can not be installed and used in excessive environment such as excessive salt, fog,
hail, snow, sand, smoke, air pollution, active chemical vapor, acid rain, soot, etc.
When there is heavy snow, extremely cold, strong wind or near water, close to salt fog on the
island or desert environment, please use appropriate protective measures to ensure the reliability
and safety of module installation.
Components must be installed on suitable buildings or other suitable locations (eg. Ground,
garage, building facade, roof, PV tracking system) and components can not be installed on any
type of mobile vehicle.
Do not install modules on the location where there is a risk of flooding.
It is recommended that the module is needed to be installed in a working environment with a
temperature of-40 °C to 40 °C, which is the monthly maximum and minimum temperature at the
location of the installation. The limit working environment temperature of the module is-40 °C to
85 °C.
Ensure that the wind or snow pressure on the module after installation does not exceed the
maximum allowable load.
module need to be installed in a no shaded area throughout the year.
Ensure that there are no obstructions that may block light at the location where the module is
installed.
If the module is installed in a place with frequent lightning activity, the module must be protected
against lightning strikes.
Do not install modules in a place where flammable gases may be present. The SOLGLASS’s
module shall not be installed in a place where strong corrosive substances such as salt, brine, or
any other material may corrode the modules, affecting its safety or performance.
SOLGLASS’s module have passed the salt spray corrosion test of the IEC61701, but corrosion
can occur at the edges of the components where they are connected to the bracket, or where
they are connected to the ground.
