General Installation
Installation shall be in accordance with CSA C22.1, Safety Standard for Electrical
Installations, Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.
This product must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the
applicable electrical code (i.e. the NEC for the USA and CEC for Canada)
7.1 Site Selection
In most applications, the solar photovoltaic module should be installed in a location
where it will receive maximum sunlight throughout the year.
For the best results, in the Northern Hemisphere, the module should typically face
south, and in the Southern Hemisphere, the module should typically face north. The
appropriate angle of the installation can ensure obtaining the maximum amount of
sunlight. To understand the best local tilt angle of the information for the installation,
refer to the ‘Tilt Angle Selection’ or consult a reliable solar systems integrator.
Do not install the module in a location where it would be easy to produce or gather
flammable gases.
The choice of location SHOULD CONFORM to all the requirements of electrical and fire
regulations.
7.2 Support Selections and Requirements
To observe the instructions manual and safety practices regarding the attached supports.
Supports and other necessary spare parts, materials (such as bolts, etc.) should be
made of durable, corrosion-resistant and UV-resistant material.
When installing a module on a pole, choose a pole and module mounting structure that
will withstand the anticipated winds for the area.
DO NOT attempt to drill holes in the glass surface of the modules as this will void the
warranty.
DO NOT drill additional mounting holes in the module frames of the modules as this
will void the warranty.
For standard installation, use the four symmetry mounting holes close to the inner side
on the module frame to fix the module onto the support. In strong winds or heavy
snow areas, use additional symmetry holes which are on the outer side of module
frame for enhancing fixation. For details, please refer to module installation method.
