used module type and the local temperature conditions. The maximum system voltage must
not be exceeded!
The maximum reverse over current is 15A. When connecting more than two strings in parallel
this value could be exceeded. Therefore, string fuses with a rating of maximum 15A have to
be installed.
Only modules with the same configuration may be used within a system.
Mechanically
Mounting works must be done when the environment and tools are dry.
Clean gloves must be worn while any transport and installation work to avoid soiling of the
solar glass, which is equipped with a special anti-reflection coating.
Make sure that the module meets the system compatibility and the requirements of the
mounting system and that the system compatibility is given.
No sharp objects may be mounted under the module, as the module could bend under load.
The first row of modules must be secured against slipping with safety hooks.
Do not use the junction box as a handle.
Consider local factors for example wind force, wind speed and snow load. Calculate these
values with a security factor, before mounting the modules. In special cases, a static
calculation must be undertaken. KIOTO modules are designed and tested to resist a suction
force (e.g. wind) of maximum 2400 Pa and a static pressure force/load (e.g. snow) of
maximum 5400 Pa, provided that they are mounted according to the specified points of
application.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation behind the modules.
To generate optimal output of the photovoltaic generator, consider the perfect alignment and
mounting angle of the photovoltaic modules.
Shadowing of the modules leads to loss of output. Therefore, take care that there is no
shadowing on the photovoltaic array over the whole year.
Never mount KIOTO modules in areas where abnormal (aggressive) conditions can occur.
If modules are installed on farm buildings, the products shall not be used as a roof
replacement. A minimum distance of 1,5 m to roof and ventilations openings has to be
observed.
When the modules are mounted on-roof, ensure that the roofs are fire resistant or that an
appropriate fire protection layer, designed for this use, is installed. In case of fire, never
extinguish with water! Inappropriate installation could also lead to hazard in case of fire.
Incorrect installation can lead to a fire hazard.
The PV
– module is an equipment which is not protected against explosion. Therefore, the
modules must not be installed near flammable gases and liquids (e.g. gasoline stations, gas
tanks, colour spraying plants etc.).
The PV module must not be installed next to naked flames and flammable materials.
Unless explicitly marked, the PV module is not a laminated safety glass (LSG) component.
Please also observe all safety instructions of the other components used.
Make sure that other mechanical system components cannot have a harmful effect on the
modules.
Advices double glass modules without frame
KIOTO double glass modules are containing bifacial cells that allow a higher yield through
reflection on the bottom side. If possible, make sure to minimize shading on the backside.
