Installation Site

Please note the following guidelines that apply to the 
installation site:

• 

the modules have been tested according to iec 61215 
for operation in a temperate climate.

• 

solar modules are not suitable for use in explosive 
environments.

 

Ä

Do not operate solar modules near highly flammable gas 

and vapors (e.g. gas tanks, gas stations).

 

Ä

Do not install modules in enclosed space.

 

Ä

Do not install modules in locations where they may be 
submerged in water for lengthy periods.

 

Ä

Do not use modules as a substitute for the normal 

roofing (e.g. modules are not rainproof).

Prevention of Shadowing effects

optimal solar irradiation leads to maximum energy output:

 

Ä

For this reason, install the modules so that they face 
the sun. 

 

Ä

Avoid shadowing  (due to objects such as buildings, 
chimneys or trees). 

 

Ä

Avoid partial shading (for example through overhead 
lines, dirt, snow).

Limitations

the solar modules are designed for the following applica-
tions:

• 

operating temperatures from –40 °c to +85 °c  
(–40 °F to +185 °F). 

• 

Wind and snow loads up to max. 5,400 Pa (as tested 
according to iec 61215).

• 

installation using a mounting frame for solar modules.

Mounting frame requirements

Requirements for the mounting frame:

• 

conforms to the necessary structural requirements.

• 

compliant with local snow and wind loads.

• 

Properly fastened to the ground, the roof, or the façade.

• 

Forces acting on the module are relayed to the mounting 
substructure.

• 

Ensures sufficient rear ventilation of the module.

• 

Guarantees long-term stability. 

• 

Has electrochemical series that prevent corrosion among 
different metals.

• 

Allows for stress-free expansion and contraction due to 

temperature fluctuations.

 

Ä

ensure that no mechanical stresses (e.g., caused by vibrations, 
twisting, or expansion) are generated on the module. 

 

Ä

ensure that the clamps and the mounting frame are 
compatible.  

Clamp System requirements

use customary clamps that satisfy the following require-
ments:

• 

clamp width: 

 40  mm.

• 

clamp height compliant with a 35 mm frame height.

• 

clamp depth: 7–12 mm.

• 

clamps are not in contact with the front glass.

• 

clamps do not deform the frame.

• 

clamps that satisfy the structural requirements of the 
installation site.

• 

Long-term stable clamps that securely affix the module 

to the mounting frame.

Module orientation requirements

• 

Vertical or horizontal installation is permitted.

 

Ä

ensure that rain and melting snow can run off freely. 
No water accumulation.

 

Ä

ensure that the drainage holes in the frame are not 
covered. No sealing.

• 

A module with min 1,160 mm long 
cable can be wired as a "2nd next 
neighbor".

 

"2nd next neighbor" - Wiring without a 
return cable.

Ä

maintain the permissible angle of 
inclination.

• 

minimum angle of inclination: 3°

• 

maximum angle of inclination: 80°

• 

Follow the directions for installation 
angles < 5° (“Grounding”, p. 20)
