Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this quality product. To minimize the risk of injury
we urge that our clients take some basic safety precautions when using this
device. Please read the operation instructions carefully and make sure you
have understood its content.
Keep these operation instructions safe.
This operation manual includes important information regarding the safe
mounting and maintenance of the solar module and needs to be read
thoroughly before mounting the solar module to minimize the risk of
damage and injury.
Safety precautions
General notes
- The installation of the solar module requires specific technical knowledge and should be carried out by especially trained specialists. In case you wish to mount it yourself, a qualified specialist needs to officially approve the mounting as a minimum requirement.
- The installer must be aware of the dangers and risks of the assembly, such as electrical shock, and do anything necessary during the installation to minimize any potential risks.
- This solar panel does not require any special connections, as all the modules are provided with junction boxes, cables, and plugs.
- Do not use mirrors or magnifying glasses to concentrate the light that falls onto the solar panel.
- This solar panel generates a direct current with sunlight and is designed to be used outside, where it is suitable for installation on e.g., roofs or the ground.
- Do not paint the solar module and do not attach anything to its back side.
- Do not take the solar panel apart and do not make any unauthorised alterations.
- The solar panel has a fire-resistance class C, but is suitable to be mounted onto roofs with fir resistance class A.
Safety of use
- Never touch the solar module without isolated protective gloves, and do not wear any metal jewellery and accessories such as rings, necklaces and watches whilst handling the panel. Direct currents with a voltage of 36 V and higher are life-threatening!
- Improper handling of the panel during transport or installation can cause damage, thus leading to the solar panel being inoperative.
- Never lift or move the solar panel by pulling its cables or plugs.
- Do not apply pressure to the surface of the panel and do not place any objects on top of it.
- Do not drop the solar panel and make sure that no objects drop onto it.
- Do not expose the back side of the solar panel to any direct solar radiation.
- Do not install, adjust, or carry out maintenance work on the panel during strong wind or high humidity.
Safety of installation
- Comply with all local and national regulations and laws and ensure that all necessary arrangements have been made and all required permits have been organised before starting to install the solar panel.
- Make sure that you regard all safety notes of other used components during the installation, too.
- Do not install the unit in areas, in which flammable gasses are produced or collected.
- Do not drill any holes into the solar panel or its frame.
- Touching the connecting plug can cause sparks, fire, and/or electric shock, even if the solar panel is not connected to any electrical supply, as it generates energy as soon as it is exposed to sunlight.
- By all means, keep children away from the unit and its connecting cables.
- When installing the unit, cover the solar panel carefully with a non-conductive and opaque board or something similar to avoid any electricity from being generated.
- When installing the unit, only use superior quality insulated tools.
- The unit needs to be earthed according to the local regulations. Accordingly install the earthing cable to the unit frame.
- Contact your local authorities regarding the valid fire safety regulations.
- The installation of the unit to a roof can affect the fire safety of the roof, and a badly installed or damaged unit can increase the risk of fire.
Mounting
The direct current generated by the solar panel can be converted into an alternating current and can be fed into the power grid. Before installing the solar panel, thoroughly catch up on the local/national regulations in force and register the unit timely, thus before installing it, with your local/national responsible agency/authority and your specific electricity provider, if required.
- First, choose a suitable place to install the solar module, where at no time it will be covered by another object. Placing the unit facing southwards (in the southern hemisphere northwards) will guarantee a maximal generation of electricity.
- The ideal inclination angle should be calculated by a qualified specialist company.
- Take note of the respective safety regulations and installation instructions regarding the chosen attachment, reducing the risk of accidents.
- When installing the unit to a sloped roof, make sure to allow a distance of at least 30.5 cm between the edge of the roof and the outer edge of the solar panel.
- Before mounting inform yourself about the regular weather conditions at your location to ensure that the solar panel can be attached adequately according to the conditions.
- Ensure that a sufficient earthing of the unit is provided and that the earthing cable is attached securely to the frame of the solar panel. Make sure that the core of the wire is not damaged, when earthing the approx. 16 mm long cable insulating cap.
- If possible, use the same settings for all used solar panels.
- Multiple solar panels of the same type can be in switched in a row and thus used as a cluster.
- When having the solar panels attached as a series connection, the total sum of the voltage corresponds to the amount of each panel which is attached as one unit.
- When having multiple solar panels switched parallel, the voltage corresponds to the sum of the individual solar panel.
- Please note that all built-in parts need to correspond with the maximum short-circuit power of the system, so that they do not overheat due to the voltage.
- The cables can withstand a maximum temperature of 85 ℃, whilst the connecting plugs can withstand a temperature of up to 105 ℃.
Mounting on a frame
To be able to mount the solar panel to its frame, it needs to be attached
to the frame via screws. Use the pre-drilled holes located on the back side of
the unit to attach the frame. Usually, the use of the four inner pilot holes
should be sufficient. However, if you live in a region with strong winds or
with snowfall, the number of screws should be increased by additionally using
the four outer pilot holes.
Ensure that the frame used for mounting is made of a stable, weather- and UV-
light-resistant material.
Mounting without frame
Alternatively, the solar module can also be mounted frameless. The solar
panels are simply attached with laminate clamps at the quarter point of the
long panel side. Please note that the clamps must not exceed a size of 12.5
mm, as they are not able to securely attach the unit otherwise. Additionally,
it is important to regard the torque specified by the manufacturer, as the
solar panel only has a low tolerance regarding punctual loads.
Ground mounting
When mounting the solar panel to the ground, it is important to select an
area, in which no parts of the solar module are covered by trees, buildings or
any other objects, as well as choosing an adequate height, which guarantees
that the panel will not be covered by snow.
To be able to position the solar panel safely when mounting it to the
ground/flat roof, it is best to place the stands on a weighted base, e.g.,
anchoring it to paving slabs. The static of the building needs to be checked!
When the solar module is to be placed on roofs made of corrugated fibre
cement, (corrugated) metal sheets or other roof claddings, the panel is to be
mounted to the roof directly without mounting panels. The static of the
building also needs to be checked in this case.
Roof mounting
When mounting the solar panel to a roof, it is important to always regard the
static of the individual building and to ensure that the solar panel cannot
loosen itself from the roof with strong winds, snowfall, or stormy weather.
When mounting the solar pane, allow a gap between the roof top and the back
side of the unit of at least 10 cm for the parts to be able to cool down.
To guarantee a proper installation of the unit, the frame needs to be attached
to the roof securely. The anchor points should be sealed, hindering any
humidity from getting into the roof and thus inside the house. Installing the
solar panel on the roof can influence the flame retardance.
