GENERAL SAFETY
Follow all permission, installation and inspection requirements
Before installing module, contact appropriate authorities to determine permission, installation and inspection requirements that should be followed. This should be done not only for installations in conjunction with buildings, but also for marine and motor vehicle applications for which additional requirements may apply.
Be sure that the construction intended to install modules on its rooftop has enough strength. For modules mounted on roof, special construction may be required to help provide proper installation. Both roof construction and module installation design have an effect on the fire resistance of the building. Improper installation may contribute to hazards in the event of fire. Additional devices such as ground fault, fuses and disconnects may be required.
Do not use modules of different configurations in the same system.
Follow all safety precautions of other used components.
Notes on Installation
Clearance between the module frame and the mounting surface is required to allow cooling air to circulate around the back of the module. This also allows any condensation or moisture to dissipate. The module should never be sealed to the mounting surface with sealant that prevents air from circulating under the module.
We recommend installation methods shown in
In some areas, local electrical and building codes may govern the installation and use of PV modules.
Standard Operating Condition
Standard operating conditions (SOC) of our solar cell modules are as follows. It is recommended that the modules should be operated in the SOC. The installation place with conditions beyond SOC or with special conditions should be avoided.
1.Standard operating condition
(1)The modules should be operated only in terrestrial use except space use or other use in the special conditions.
(2)The ambient temperature should be
within from
(3)The relative humidity should be within from 45% to 95%.
(4)The installation place should be less than 1000m above sea level.
But, installation at the altitude of
more than 1000m is allowed only if the wind pressure load for a module is less than 2400N/m2.
2.Special conditions
(1)The ambient temperature and installation place are different from the
SOC
(2)The salt damage is heavy at installation place.
(3)The hail and snow damages are heavy at installation place
(4)The sand and dust damages are heavy at installation place
(5)Other special conditions (with air pollution, or with chemically active vapor, etc)
INSTALLATION
General
Please read this guide completely before installing or using the modules. This section contains electrical and mechanical specifications before using your SANYO photovoltaic modules. Modules should be firmly fixed in place in a manner suitable to withstand all expected loads, including wind and snow loads.
Do not drill additional mounting holes in the module frames, as it will void the warranty.
The appropriate material should be employed for mounting hardware to prevent the module frame, mounting structure and hardware itself from corrosion.
Please install modules at the place where they are not shaded by the obstacles like building and trees. Especially, please pay attention to avoid partially shading modules by something in daytime.
Please contact your local dealer with questions regarding mounting profiles for modules.
Please check appearance of the modules before installing or using.
