Purpose of this guide
This guide contains information regarding the installation and safe handling of Wuxi Suntech Power Co., Ltd
(hereinafter referred to as “Suntech”) photovoltaic module s (hereinafter referred to as “ PV modules ” or
“modules” ).
Installers must read and understand this guide prior to installation. For any questions, please contact
Suntech's Global Quality & Customer Support department or our local representatives for more detailed
information. Installers must follow all safety precautions as described in this guide as well as local requirement
and regulations by law or authorized organizations.
Before installing a solar photovoltaic system, installers should familiarize themselves with its mechanical
and electrical requirements. Keep this guide in a safe place for future reference (care and maintenance) and in
case of sale or disposal of the modules.
Suntech modules are tested and certified for installation worldwide. Different regions may have different
regulations for solar PV installations. In this guide, hereinafter "IEC Only" refers to regions where IEC standard
applies, e.g. Europe, Middle East, most of Asia Pacific countries; "UL Only" refers to regions where UL standard
applies, e.g. United States; all other references are global.
General Safety
Modules that fall under this application class may be used in system operation at more than 50V DC or 240W,
where general contact access is anticipated. Modules complying with IEC 60417-5172 are considered to meet
Class II ( ).
The environmental temperature in which the PV modules work is between -40
℃
and 40
℃
with relative
humidity of less than 85%, while their operating temperature is from -40
℃
and 85
℃
.
PV modules are recommended to be installed at an altitude of less than 2000m.
Installing solar photovoltaic systems requires specialized skills and knowledge. Installation must only be
performed by authorized and trained personnel.
Installers must assume all risks of injury that might occur during installation, including, but not limited to,
the risk of electric shock.
One single module may generate more than 30V DC when exposed to direct sunlight. Contact with a DC
voltage is potentially hazardous and should be always avoid.
Do not disconnect the modules or any electrical part under load.
PV modules generate electricity when exposed to sunlight. Number of modules string connected can cause
lethal shock and burn hazards. Only authorized and trained person should have access to the modules.
Modules convert light energy to direct current electrical energy. They are designed for outdoor use.
Modules can be ground mounted, mounted on rooftops. The responsibility of proper design of support
structures lies in the system designers and installers.
When installing the system, abide to all local, regional and national statutory regulations. Obtain a building
permit if necessary.
The electrical characteristics are within ±3% of the indicated values of I
sc
, V
oc
and P
max
under standard test
conditions (irradiance of 1000 W/m², AM 1.5 spectrum, and a cell temperature of 25 °C (77 °F)).
Only use equipment, connectors, wiring and support frames suitable for solar electric systems.
Do not use mirrors, magnifiers or artificially concentrated sunlight onto the modules.
Always use fall protection equipment when working at a height of 6 feet (183cm) or above. Follow
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) or local governing safety regulations regarding Fall Protection. (UL
Only)
Do not sit, stand, step or walk on any side of the module, including the frames.
Do not permit any part of the module(s) to be submerged or allow for constant water to soil the module(s)
unless it's natural rain fall or periodic cleaning.
Do not permit constant dew on any part of backsheet of the module.
The module is considered to be in compliance with this standard only when the module is either mounted
in the manner specified by the mounting instructions, or when the mounting method has been evaluated with
