INSTALLATION USING DOUBLE-SIDED ADHESIVE OR GLUE
Before commencing, the surface onto which the modules are to be installed must be perfectly clean and dry.
The installation of WhisperPower modules using structural double-sided tape supplied by the manufacturer
must be carried out carefully and with precision, as this permanent method does not allow repositioning.
The surface on which the modules are installed does not necessarily need to be regular, but if it is not, the
modules cannot be walked on. Similar results can be obtained with silicon or polyurethane glue. In this case,
WhisperPower is not responsible for the results, but may be consulted about the adhesive to use.
When using commercial glue, be careful not to create an irregular surface, if the modules are to be walked
upon. The glue should be applied uniformly with a thickness not exceeding 2 mm.
Before proceeding with a permanent installation using glue or double-sided tape, we recommend that you
check the performance of the module by measuring Voc and Isc and comparing with the datasheet.
WARNING: The double-sided adhesive backing tape makes a very strong bond with the support material and
does not allow repositioning. Trying to remove a module, even if it is only partially attached, can seriously
damage the cells.
ATTENTION
:
The double-sided adhesive backing tape makes a very strong bond with the support material
and does not allow repositioning. Trying to remove a module, even if it is only partially attached, can seriously
damage the cells.
PROTECTIVE FILM ON FRONT OF MODULE
The modules are shipped with a protective film on the front surface. We recommend that you remove this
after the installation has been completed. In any case, the protective film
must be removed before using the
module for the first time.
Warning: leaving a module in sunlight with the front side protective film on, can lead to make it adhere strongly,
and to make its subsequent removal very difficult.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
A photovoltaic module behaves like a current generator (such as a battery) and therefore has a positive
contact and a negative contact.
Normally, the module cannot supply an electrical device directly, due to the variability of the current which
depends on the intensity of the sunlight. It is therefore standard practice to use the module to charge a battery,
which then supplies current to the devices.
A battery may only be charged directly by the photovoltaic module if the voltage is exactly right for the chosen
battery (e.g. 14V charge voltage for a 12V lead-acid battery). However, this set-up is at risk of overcharging and
is inefficient. We therefore recommend the use of electronic charge regulators, which optimize the charging
process. WhisperPower strongly recommends using charge regulators with MPPT (Maximum Power Point
Tracking), in order to exploit the maximum amount of energy possible.
