3. Installation of Solar Modules
3.1 Location
ECTIVE solar modules are designed to be mounted on the ground or on
roofs of houses or vehicles. You should also consider the following when
choosing a location:
• In southern latitudes, solar modules should face north, while in
northern latitudes they should face south.
• Seek professional help from a solar installer or system designer to
determine the proper tilt angle of your modules.
• When positioning the modules, make sure that the solar cells are free
of shade all day and over their entire surface.
• For upright placement, the connection socket should face upward
while the connection cables run downward.
3.2 Rack
Solar modules require a frame made of UV and corrosion resistant material
that provides sufficient stability for loads caused by snow and wind. When
mounting, consider the following:
• All four anchoring points of the modules must be securely fixed to the
frame. For additional stabilization in case of stronger wind or snow
load, you should attach further anchors.
• Depending on the frame, mounting is possible using turn screws or
module clamps.
• Recommended tightening torque for mounting screws: 6 to 14 Nm.
• Recommended clamping area per module clamp: 600 mm² or more.
• When mounting on a car roof, use special plastic profiles.
