FuturaSun srl – The specifications in this manual are subject to revisions without further notice
This document applies to the module series FU XXX M ZEBRA
responsibility of the installer to make sure the
modules are positioned as much as possible
facing south in northern hemisphere, with the
tilt angle (β) (inclination of the surface of the
modules in respect to the ground, as shown in
Fig.3) optimal for the type of desired
application.
The tilt angle of ideal average throughout Italy
is
β = 30°
;
however, even the inclination typical
the roof of a dwelling (β = 15-20°), being
already an inclined plane, could make the
angle acceptable, if not ideal, for the
installation of coplanar modules on it (using a
special standard structure for support).
Depending on the variation of the tilt angle of
the modules with respect to the ground, or of
their orientation in relation to facing south
(Azimuth), there will be changes in the annual
average amount of energy produced by the
modules themselves, and therefore, of the
plant connected to the network to which they
are linked.

3. IEC 61215 & 61730 certifications
This product meets or exceeds the
requirements set forth by IEC 61215:2016 and
61730:2016 for PV Modules. These standards
cover flat-plate PV modules and panels
intended for installation on buildings or those
intended to be freestanding.
This product is
not intended for use where artificially
concentrated sunlight is applied to the module.
4. Limited Warranty
Please refer to FUTURASUN General Sales
Conditions and Product and Performance
Warranty for details of the modules’ limited
warranty. Failure to comply with this Safety
and Installation Manual will invalidate
FUTURASUN Warranty for the PV modules as
stated in the Product and Performance
Warranty.
5. Module Specification
Please refer to the technical datasheet for the
module FUTURASUN FU XXX respectively for
electrical performance data. These electrical
data are measured under Standard Test
Conditions (STC) of 1000 W/m
2
irradiance,
with Air Mass (AM) of 1.5 spectrum, and a cell
temperature of 25°C.
6. Safety Precautions
Installation should be performed only by
authorized personnel!
•
Module installation must be performed in
compliance with the latest IEC code (CEI
in Italy).
•
Within the modules, there are no user
serviceable parts. Do not attempt to repair
any part of the modules. Contact your
module supplier if maintenance is
necessary.
•
In order to reduce the risk of electric shock,
prior to installing the modules, remove
metallic jewelry and use insulated tools
during installation.
•
Do not expose the modules to artificially
concentrated sunlight!
•
Do not stand on, drop, scratch, or allow
objects to fall on the modules.
•
Do not lift the modules at the connectors or
junction box!
•
Do not install or handle the modules when
they are wet or during periods of high
winds.
•
Do not use oil-based lubricants on any part
of the junction box as this can cause long-
term damage to the plastics.
