Panasonic VBHN240SE10 General Installation Manual page 3

When additional ground holes are
necessary, they must not penetrate
the inner side of the aluminum
frame. Caution is advised to avoid
accidentally drilling, scratching, or
penetrating the back sheet surface
of the module. If required, it is
recommended to add additional
ground holes to
aluminum lip area of the module.
In such case, additional ground
holes must be at least 65 mm away
from any frame corner.
For a non-integral module or panel,
the assembly is to be mounted over
a fire resistant roof covering rated
for the application.
Appropriate material should be
used for mounting hardware to
prevent the module
mounting structure, and hardware
itself from corrosion.
Install modules where they are not
shaded by obstacles like buildings
and trees. Especially pay attention
to avoid partially
modules by objects during the
daytime.
Please contact
Authorized Representative
questions regarding
profiles for modules if needed.
Notes on Installation
Clearance of "10 cm" between the
roof surface and module frame is
required to allow cooling air to
circulate around the back of the
module. This also
condensation or
dissipate. Install modules so that
air can circulate between the roof
and the module.
We recommend
methods shown in Figure 2. In
some areas, local electrical codes
may govern the installation and
use of modules.
To avoid the hazard of the electric
shock and fire, do not contact and
damage the back sheet of the
module with mounting bolts.
Operating Conditions
SANYO recommends that modules be
operated within the
Operating Conditions. An installation
location with conditions beyond the
Operating Conditions or with other
Special Conditions (see below) should
be avoided. Operating Conditions of
Panasonic HIT PV modules are as
follows:
1) The modules should be operated
only in terrestrial applications. No
space or other Special Conditions
(see below).
2) The ambient temperature should
be within –20°C (-4°F) to 40°C
(104°F).
3) The relative humidity should be
the outer within 45% to 95%.
4) The wind pressure load of the
installation site should be less than
2,400N/m
Special Conditions
1) The
installation place are different from
the
Conditions.
2) Salt
frame, installation place.
3) Hail and snow damage is excessive
at the installation place.
4) Sand and dust damage is excessive
at the installation place.
5) Air
shading the vapors, acid rain, and/or soot, etc.
are excessive at the installation
place.

Mechanical Loading
The modules should be mounted
active basically at the four (4) quarter
points by the means shown in
Figure 1-1 or 1-4. However, you
may choose the optional mounting
ranges (with limitation of fixing
