  • Page 3: Introduction

    2 of 13 1.0 InTroduCTIon The purpose of this guide is to provide general information regarding the proper installation and handling of MEMC photovoltaic modules that serve residential, commercial, and industrial segments. System design, construction, and commissioning should be performed by qualified personnel only.
  • Page 4: Safety

    • Do not wear rings, jewelry, watches, or other metallic items while working with photovoltaic modules. 3.3 MaInTenanCe Check modules, glass, and frames for damage. Regularly inspect all MEMC Solar Modules for safe electrical connections, sound mechanical connections, and freedom from shading and corrosion. If dirt or debris buildup becomes excessive, periodically clean the glass only with a soft cloth using mild, non-abrasive detergent and water.
  • Page 5: Mechanical Installation

    • Mechanical structures should not contact the module backsheet under any expected load conditions • Consider the following factors during system design, which will influence performance: MEMC solar modules produce the most power when they are pointed directly at the sun, and should be tilted for optimum system performance.

    • Modules may also be mounted using center clamps as shown in Appendix 8.2, for use with trackers. • Module clamps for center mounting must be based on MEMC approved extrusion and hardware. • For module loads higher than 2400 Pa, module clamps and hardware must be pre-approved by MEMC. 4.4 MeChanICal InsTallaTIon warnIngs •...
  • Page 8: Electrical Installation

    • There is no limit to the maximum number of series strings that can be combined in parallel. However, when doing so, each string must include overcurrent protection with a maximum rating of 15A. MEMC recommends the use of DC rated fuses or overcurrent protection devices with the appropriate maximum voltage rating.
  • Page 9: Grounding

    • The module junction box should not be opened or modified in any way in the field. • Additional grounding holes may be added only with the express written consent of MEMC. New grounding holes must be drilled using an approved drill jig, avoiding damage to the module glass, backsheet, or other module components.
