Comply with the minimum distance of 5 mm
between the solar modules to allow the materi
-
al to expand without tension.
For system documentation, note the positions
of the modules and their serial numbers. Before
commissioning, a final inspection of the entire
system is recommended.
The solar module is a glass product and should be handled with appropriate care. Do
not stand on the solar module. Do not allow any objects to fall or place any objects on
the solar module. Never hold or transport the solar module by the junction box or con
-
nection cables. For installation SOLARWATT strongly recommends the usage of clean,
fat and silicone oil free gloves!
WARNING
The solar modules are not designed for concentrated irradiation. Bundling or concen-
trating solar irradiation through lenses or mirrors is therefore not permitted and can
damage the solar modules.
WARNING
SOLARWATT solar modules fulfill all the re-
quirements of the extended test standard IEC
61215, including the increased pressure load,
making them ideal for use in areas with large
amounts of snow. The local regulations or the
standard EUROCODE 1 (EN 1991-1) should be
used for the calculation of the snow loads on
the module. It is important to note that these
standards are designed for impact on structures
and do not explicitly take into account the ins
-
tallation of solar modules.
The solar module heats up during operation. Ensure that there is sufficient rear venti-
lation to avoid reductions in yield. Also ensure that no flammable gases can escape or
accumulate close by.
NOTE
In regions with particularly high snowfall, the
pressure load calculated in accordance with
the standard based on local snow load infor
-
mation may be significantly exceeded due to
snow overhang or build-up on the solar mo-
dules.
SOLARWATT therefore tests its modules abo
-
ve and beyond the standard IEC 61215 and in
accordance with additional standards, taking
into account additional loads in the event of
snow overhang or build-up to reflect the actu-
al loads encountered in practice and to ensure
that our products work safely throughout their
entire service life.
•
Please take care when handling and in
-
stalling glass-glass modules. The edges
and especially the corners are sensitive
to impact even though they are made of
high-quality hardened glass.
•
Make sure that the plug-in connections
are not located on a water-channeling
surface
