Mechanical charges of the PV generator
The modules were tested with a maximum mechanical charge of 2400 Pa (suction) and 2400
Pa (compression) or 2400 Pa (suction) and 5400 (compression) cf page 8. Please take those
maximal values into account. On installation site all present snow and wind loads and all
national standards have to be considered and respected. In case of doubt please consult a
mechanical stress analyst or rather an expert.
Grounding and substructure
Generally the laminates are frameless, so the grounding has to be effected at the metallic
substructure. In general the installer has to ground the rails accordingly. The grounding has
to be performed with a self-locking screw. All metallic parts of the substructure have to be
connected to the main equipotential bonding of the building. The use of a cable of 10mm² is
recommended for this task. The grounding has to be performed with a section of cable of
16mm² to the main equipotential bonding. If a lightning protection already exists or is planned
the PV-plant has to be integrated in this concept. In doing so all related engineer standards
have to be respected.
In Europe the technical standard IEC 60364-7-712 has to be respected.
Advice for fire protection
The PV-modules are not explosion-proofed electric elements and must not be installed on
explosive environment. Furthermore the installation cannot be effected near flames or on
inflammable materials. The PV-modules must not be installed on flammable roofs.
Further notice for wiring
The planning of the wiring of the PV system should consider a tight loop wiring of the plus
and minus line. The area enclosed by the conductors should be kept as small as possible.
This reduces the risk of inductive coupling caused by lightning strokes.
