PATENTED “CAPILLARY COMB” 

 

The revolution of the integrated photovoltaic roofing 

 

Congratulations  on  purchasing  modules  EL60/IS  (Integrated  Structure)  equipped  with  CAPILLARY 
COMB  frame.  The  absolute  reliability  of  the  system,  produced  entirely  in  Italy,  is  guaranteed  by 
the choice of high quality materials, as well as by multiple inspections performed throughout the 
production process.  

 
The "CAPILLARY COMB" frame, designed developed and manufactured by HELLER SpA is patented 
in Europe and is mounted exclusively on EL60/IS modules produced by EL.ITAL. S.p.a. The modules 
are certified to the requirements of the Extended Control IEC 61215 and are tested according to 
IEC  61215  Extended  Control  as  well  as  those  of  the  safety  standard  IEC  61730. 
 
The  "CAPILLARY  COMB"  system  is  based  on  the  concept  of  simplicity  by  giving  to  installers  the 
possibility to have a fast and effective training and to avoid as much as possible the errors during 
the 

assembly 

stages. 

The  module  frame  with a  particular  single  and  inseparable  shape,  made  up  of  multiple  fins  side 
around  the  entire  perimeter,  which  joined  /  spliced  to  each  other  in  an  installation  of  adjacent 
photovoltaic modules of the same type guarantees the impermeability of the surface without the 
use of additional components. 

The fins are multiple and being overlapped to each other in order to create a continuous barrier 
which  does  not  allow  the  infiltration  of  water  droplets  in  the  lower  part  of  the  photovoltaic 
surface  but  ensure  the  outflow  into  the  lower  end  of  the  module  frame. 
The photovoltaic  module  EL60/IS equipped  with  CAPILLARY  COMB  framer  removes  and replaces 
the  conventional  rooftop  and  is  suitable  to  be  used  as  architecturally  integrated  roof  coverage. 
The  recommended  installation  requires  a  minimum  angle  of  10  °  (Tilt  Angle) 
 
This  manual  describes  the  installation,  connection,  maintenance  of  modules  EL60/IS  equipped 
with CAPILLARY COMB frame. They are intended for specialized technicians  who, thanks to their 
professional skills, are familiar with the installation procedures. The installation and connection of 
the modules must be performed only by properly trained and qualified personnel for installation 
of this system. Before installation, the technical staff must read and understand these instructions 
and follow them. It is compulsory to complete, sign and give the attached printable verbal to this 
manual to the owner.
