4.2
Installing the module
Make sure that the installation is carried out safely.
Protect yourself and other persons from falling, do not carry out the installation in heavy winds and
eliminate the risk of falling objects as much as possible. Secure the work area in order to avoid the
endangerment or injury of persons.
In order not to exceed the max. System voltage at -10 °C, the MBF-GG60 and MBA-GG60 modules must not
be connected in series with more than 22 modules.
Additionally, the requirements of the inverters must be observed. In any case, specific checking have to be
done by the designer, considering the modules working temperatures.
4.3
Observe the allowable maximum mechanical loading:
Do not exceed the maximum mechanical loading and avoid local pressure. Make sure to consider location-
specific loads such as wind or snow. Remember that the module might sag when loaded under certain
circumstances. In order to avoid damaging the module by pointed or uneven structures, do not place
fasteners or cable ties between the rear of the module and the cross section.
4.4
Make sure that the surroundings are suitable:
Make sure that after installation the module is neither subjected to artificially concentrated sunlight,
immersed in water or continuously splashed with liquids. By all means make sure that the module is not
subjected to abnormal chemical exposure. Exposing the module to extreme levels of salt or sulphur may
lead to corrosion
.
4.5
The correct location for installation:
Beside the module itself, the mounting system must also be suited to the expected conditions at the
location of installation (snow, wind) and withstand them easily. The bottom side of the module frame (if
present) features holes for draining precipitation water. Make sure during installation that these holes
retain their function. For portrait mounting, the junction box may be mounted facing up or down on the
underside of the module but it’s preferable to be mounted facing upwards on the underside of the module.
4.6
Yield maintenance through optimal alignment and inclination:
We advise you to familiarize yourself with the appropriate alignment and inclination of the modules prior
to installation in order to ensure an optimal system yield. The ideal conditions for the generation of
electricity are accomplished when the sun rays reach the generator surface perpendicularly. For modules
connected in a series, make sure that all modules have the same alignment and inclination in order to avoid
performance losses.
