INTRODUCTION 

This manual contains information regarding the safe installation and handling of photovoltaic (PV) modules 

produced by MegaCell s.r.l. (Megacell) 

 

IMPORTANT:

  

Megacell modules  use  high  efficiency  BISoN  BIFACIAL solar cells. These modules  produce 

power from both the front and back of the module with significant more power than their STC rating.  

 

To  optimize  electrical  dimensioning  and  installation,  make  sure  to  read  these  mounting  instructions 

carefully before installing, commissioning or servicing the PV system and keep these instructions in a well 

accessible  location.  Failure  to  comply  with  these  safety  instructions  may  result  in  personal  injury  and 

product damage.  

We strive to be the leader in innovation and research, while continuing to improve our products. For this 

reason we reserve the right to make changes to this installation guide without prior notice.

2.2

 

IEC 61215 & 61730 certifications 

This product meets or exceeds the requirements set forth by IEC 61215 and 61730 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.
