3.2.Site selection

3.2.1. Ground mounting:

Select the height of the mounting system to prevent the lowest edge of the module from
being covered by snow for a long time in winter in areas that experience heavy snowfalls.
In addition, assure the lowest portion of the module is placed high enough so that it is not
shaded by plants or trees or damaged by sand and stone driven by wind.

3.2.2. Roof mounting:

When installing a module on a roof or building, ensure that it is securely fastened and
cannot fall as a result of wind or snow loads. Provide adequate ventilation under a module
for cooling (200mm minimum air space between module and mounting surface). When
installing module on a roof, ensure that the roof construction is suitable.
In addition, any roof penetration required to mount the module must be properly sealed to
prevent leaks. In some cases, a special support frame may be necessary.
The roof installation of solar modules may affect the fireproofing of the house construction.
The modules are rated fire Class C. because their modules or panels are non-integral
ones, they should be mounted over a fire resistant roof.
Do not install modules on a roof or building during strong winds in case of accidents.

3.2.3. Pole mounting:

When installing a module on a pole, choose a pole and module mounting
structure that will withstand anticipated winds for the area.
Roof mounting shall comply with relevant local legislation and law.

3.3. Attention:

Do not lift the module by grasping the module's junction box or electrical leads.
Do not stand or step on module.
Do not drop module or allow objects to fall on module. To avoid glass breakage, do not
place any heavy objects on the module.
Do not set the module down hard on any surface. Inappropriate transport and installation
may break module.
