10. When installing the Modules on the roof, ensure there is an appropriate structure, and a suitable seal shall be
made between the Modules and the bracket to prevent leaking.
11. Installing the Modules on the roof may affect the fire rating of the house which requires the construction
organization to make more accurate assessment.
12. The grounding method shall be consistent with the local standard and regulations. The grounding wire shall
be the bare copper wire with simple surface treatment and no insulation sleeve. Wire cable with cross-sectional
area of 4~6 mm
2
(10~12 AWG) and ground clamp (Tyco, identification of product: 1954381-2) are recommended
(diagrammatic sketches are as follows).
13. When the connecting wire of the Modules can not meet system design requirements, a proper commercial cable that
could endure long-term outdoor use and assorted connector could be used to extend the connecting wire. The
cross-sectional area shall be no less than 4 mm
2
, and the connection system shall reach IP65 protection rating.
14. The minimum separation between two Modules shall be more than 10 mm; when installing on the roof, the minimum
separation between the Modules and the mounting surface shall be more than 150 mm, and when installing on
the ground, more than 450 mm.
15. It had better to use the Modules with same configuration in a series connection system.
16. Artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on the module.
17. Our modules have passed the salt mist and ammonia test (Please refer the test report for detailed information)
and can be installed in some brutal environment, e.g. sea side.
18. The modules should not be installed at the place which is less than 100 meters from the seashore. If the distance of
the seashore and the project site is 100~1000 meters, anti-corrosion application should be taken during the
installation and grounding processes.
