A fitting of the module as overhead glazing or vertical
glazing (facade) is prohibited in several countries. It is
absolutely essential that you adhere to the current legal
requirements – such as building permission – of local,
regional, and national authorities.
To ensure proper operation of the system and prevent
damage please make sure that:
▹ the module is not shadowed by trees, antennas etc.,
▹ the module is sufficiently ventilated from the back side,
▹ the back sides of the modules are not treated with paint or
adhesives.
▹ sunlight is not concentrated on the modules via mirrors or
lenses.

Unpacking, interim storing and handling
During assembly and electrical installation cover the modu-
les with opaque material to prevent electricity from being
generated.
Do not assemble on roofs and buildings during high winds.
Wind also increases the risk of injury when lifting or moving
support frames with several mounted modules.
▹ Leave modules in packaging until ready to install.
▹ Do not hold or transport the module by the junction box.
▹ Do not step or stand on the module.
▹ Do not drop the module and do not let anything fall onto
the module.
▹ Do not place heavy objects on the module.
▹ Do not set the module roughly onto the floor, particularly
not onto the corners.
Do not use any module with broken glass.

ted stand-alone systems/year-round use.

Your local photovoltaic dealer can give you information
about a suitable installation location.
Modules must be attached to support frames or with assem-
bly sets to a solid base. The whole photovoltaic system must
withstand the mechanical loads typical for the specific region.
When selecting support frames ensure that they withstand
strong winds and snow loads and comply with local ordinan-
ces and regu-lations. Ensure that the modules are not exposed
to undue forces caused by thermal expansion of the support
frame. The support frames should be made of resistant,
corrosion-proof, and UV resistant material.
Ground mounting:
Choose the height of the frame so that
the module can not be covered by snow or plants for a longer
period of time.
Roof mounting:
When mounting on roofs and buildings
ensure that the roof construction is adequate. In some cases a
special support frame may be required.
Mast mounting:
When installing a module on a masthead
it must be ensured that the mast has sufficient stability to
resist expected wind speeds and wind gusts without notably
bending. The mast must have an adequate foundation. Use an
assembly frame to attach the module to the mast.
Mounting
Screw the modules onto the four attachments designated for
this purpose. Consult your dealer if you plan to assemble the
modules in other places than those designated.
The modules can be mounted to the substructure by clamping
on (example A) at the front side or by screwing (example B) at
the back side. The clamping area (example A) of the washer
must cover at least 135 mm² per fixation point.
A torque wrench must be used for assembly.
