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.
Installation Manual: MEMC Silvantis P290 | M320 3 of 13 3.2 STORAGE, UNPACKING, AND HANDLING • Packaged modules must be stored in a dry and ventilated area. • Packaged modules must not be exposed to rain, snow, hail or other environmental conditions that may compromise the packaging material and the modules.
• 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.

Installation Manual: MEMC Silvantis P290 | M320 5 of 13 • Precaution should be taken to avoid damage to the glass surface with or without anti-reflective coating due to improper handling during installation. • Mechanical structures should not contact the module backsheet under any expected load conditions.
• 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.
