6 Handling aleo modules
6.1 Intended use
6.1.1
Appropriate use
aleo modules are used for generating electrical power in stationary,
photovoltaic systems which are connected to the grid. If you would
like to use the modules for another purpose, such as for charging
an accumulator directly, you may need additional components (e.g.
string diodes).
aleo modules are suitable for installing near livestock farms and
coastal regions.
Observe all the applicable legislation, regulations, guidelines and
standards when installing and operating the modules.
6.1.2
Inappropriate use
Do not install aleo modules on vehicles and do not use them in
air, space or seafaring applications and also not 2000 m above
sea level.
Do not use aleo modules if they are exposed to concentrated
sunlight or strong artificial light, or if they could be immersed in
water or other liquids or exposed to vapour.
Exclude the usage of our modules in heavily dirty environ-
ments.
WARNING!
Avoid using any aggressive chemical substances (e.g. herbi-
cides) in the vicinity of the installation of aleo modules.
6.1.3
Product-specific information
Product-specific information (e.g. data sheet) contains details of a
particular type of module.
Only use aleo modules for the intended purpose outlined in the
product-specific information. These modules are rated for use in
application class A according to IEC 61730. For the electrical data
please refer to the data sheet or the name plate.
Under normal conditions, solar modules are likely to experience
conditions that produce more current and/or voltage than reported
at standard test conditions.

Accordingly, the values of I
SC
and U
OC
marked on the modules should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25
when determining component voltage ratings, conductor ampaci-
ties, fuse sizes and size of controls connected to the PV output.
If the information in the data sheet differs from this manual, the
datasheet takes precedence.

E.g. in the event of strong solar irradiation, low ambient temperature and
reflections from snow.
6.2 Personal protection
6.2.1
Electrical safety precautions
High DC voltages during storage, installation, operation and
maintenance: Risk of fatal electric shock!
aleo modules may only be installed by qualified technicians
with a high level of expertise.
GEFAHR!
Dangerous, high DC voltages are generated even at low levels of
light, especially in a series connection: Risk of fatal electric shock!
Never touch the electrical connections of a solar module under
any circumstances, not even if you have disconnected the pho-
tovoltaic generator.
Electric arcs form when electrical connections are made or dis-
connected incorrectly: Severe or fatal injuries from electric shock
or severe injury from burns!
Before you carry out any work on electrical components, dis-
connect the photovoltaic generator.
Contact with live parts due to defective insulation or dam-
aged/fallen off junction box covers: Severe or fatal injuries from
electric shock!
Do not touch damaged parts with your bare hands.
Use protective clothing and suitable, insulated tools.
High DC voltages possible, even when the PV generator is discon-
nected, if the generator is earthed: Severe or fatal injuries from
electric shock!
If the circuit of your photovoltaic generator is earthed, remove
the earth before you carry out electrical work on the generator.
