7-1-2. Outdoor Unit

AVOID:

heat sources, exhaust fans, etc. (Fig. 4)

damp, humid or uneven locations.

DO:

choose a place as cool as possible.

choose a place that is well ventilated.

allow enough room around the unit for air intake/ exhaust and possible maintenance. (Fig. 5a)

CAUTION

Install the outdoor unit above snowfall line.

Do not place objects on or sit on the outdoor unit. Also, never block the air intake/outlet or exhaust. Distortion of the outdoor unit or incomplete combustion may result.

Touching the air exhaust can cause a burn. Take special care for children not to touch it.

Do not introduce foreign matter into the air intake/outlet or exhaust. Do not insert point- ed objects, such as sticks.

When the ambient temperature is dropping, a white cloud or fog may be seen blowing from the unit. This does not indicate a problem.

The distance between any building opening* and the exhaust must be 24 in. (60 cm) or more.

Locate the outdoor unit away from windows to avoid possible entry of exhaust gases into the building. Pay special attention to the win- dows of a neighboring house or building.

If there is a window within 24 in. (60 cm) of the exhaust, make sure it is not located inside the projected exhaust area within

24 in. (60 cm) above, within 6 in. (15 cm) below, within 6 in. (15 cm) on either side, or within 6 in. (15 cm) in front of the exhaust.

*Meaning of “building opening”

Windows or doors which can be opened, but not including those which are fixed or cannot be opened.

KGS1411, CG1411 specifications

Sanyo KGS1411 and CG1411 are notable solar panel models from Sanyo, a brand recognized for its innovation in photovoltaic technology. These models are particularly designed to deliver high efficiency and reliable performance for residential and commercial solar energy applications.

One of the standout features of the Sanyo KGS1411 is its use of HIT (Heterojunction with Intrinsic Thin layer) technology. This cutting-edge technology combines crystalline and thin-film solar cells, resulting in a unique structure that maximizes light absorption. The HIT technology results in higher conversion efficiency compared to traditional solar panels. The KGS1411 can achieve efficiencies of up to 20.4%, making it an excellent choice for those looking to maximize energy output from limited rooftop space.

The CG1411 model complements the KGS1411 by offering enhanced performance in low-light conditions. It is particularly effective in urban settings or regions with frequent overcast weather. This model also employs advanced cell design that improves performance during high temperatures, avoiding the efficiency loss typical in conventional solar panels.

Another significant characteristic of both models is their durable construction. Sanyo panels are designed to withstand severe weather conditions, including strong winds and heavy snow loads. This robustness is complemented by an extended warranty period, giving users peace of mind about their investment.

In terms of aesthetics, both the KGS1411 and CG1411 feature a sleek, all-black design, allowing them to blend seamlessly with various roofing materials. This visual appeal makes them an attractive option for homeowners who prioritize the appearance of their solar energy systems.

Furthermore, Sanyo panels come with integrated monitoring solutions that allow users to track energy production and system performance in real-time. This feature is invaluable for assessing the efficiency of the solar system and making informed decisions about energy consumption.

In conclusion, the Sanyo KGS1411 and CG1411 solar panels represent a synthesis of advanced technology and reliable performance. With their high efficiency, durability, and user-friendly monitoring solutions, these models are well-suited for consumers seeking sustainable energy solutions without compromising on quality or aesthetics. Whether for residential use or larger commercial projects, Sanyo’s offerings stand out in the competitive solar market.
