Unpacking
Unpacking is a two-person job
Lift the first module vertically with both hands to avoid frame scraping
Avoid horizontal movement when lifting module.
Carry the modules with both hands and wear safety gloves or use glass
suction cups for removal and transport.
Under no circumstances use the junction box or connection lines as
handles.

Application area and mounting site
Application area
The module is intended for use in temperate climatic conditions. The extreme weather temperature might affect
the power output and efficiency of the solar module.
The module must not be exposed to concentrated light. It must not be immersed in water or constantly
exposed to water spray (e.g. from fountains).
There is risk of corrosion with exposure to salt and sulfur (sulfur sources, volcanoes). Therefore, the
module must not be installed in the vicinity of salt, salt water and sulfur.
The permissible module temperatures are between -40 °C and +85 °C.
Sufficient ventilation from behind the module should be ensured to prevent raised module temperatures.
Do not subject modules to strong chemicals.
Make sure that the modules and module components are never standing or lying in water.
The module may not be installed adjacent to naked flames or flammable materials. Solar modules are non-
explosion-protected equipment.
Mounting site
Orientation
The performance of WINAICO Panels is dependent on the available solar resource, as well as their positioning in
relation to the movement of the sun. Optimal panel tilting will be determined by the installation location, local
siting restriction, and the load profile or desired generation profile. Your local WINAICO office can assist with
optimum system design.
A minimum tilt of 15 degrees is recommended to allow for water and dirt run off. Tilt angles less than this are
permitted if additional maintenance is planned to keep the panels clean, and a proper design analysis has been
completed.
Location
The mounting site should be as free as possible from shade of any kind (houses, trees, branches, leaves, cables,
antennas, etc.), because shade can significantly reduce the output of the solar modules. Partial shade can also
reduce the energy yield. A module is regarded as free of shade if the entire surface is free of shade throughout
the year, and with unhindered exposure to sunlight over a period of several hours per day, even on the most
unfavorable days of the year.
Ventilation from behind
Solar modules decrease in power output as their temperature increases. Ventilation from behind allows air
convection to cool the module, with greater spacing increasing the cooling rate. This is particularly import for
modules with black backsheets and for flush mounting.
WINAICO recommends that modules be mounted with a minimum of 120 mm clearance from a flat surface.
