72-Cell Installation Guide
1.0 Introduction
Thank you for choosing SunEdison's Silvantis modules. This
guide provides information regarding the proper installation
and handling of Silvantis modules.
Silvantis modules consist of a series of electrically
interconnected monocrystalline solar cells that are sealed
within a laminated sheet of tempered, low glare anti-
reflective coating (ARC) glass superstrate, and EVA back
sheet substrate. These laminates are secured inside an
aluminum frame to provide rigidness and a mounting
mechanism to affix to sub-structures. Do not modify or
remove frames.
Please review all the sections that pertain to proper
installation of modules listed in this guide. The instructions
detailed in this guide must be followed throughout the
module’s lifetime deployment. If you need additional
information about the safe, proper use and handling of
SunEdison photovoltaic module products, please contact
SunEdison.
