1. Preface
The solar modules use the photovoltaic principle to turn light into electricity.
PerfectEnergy solar modules are primarily designed for connection to an inverter to feed the energy into
the public power grid.
When connecting to an inverter, please observe the instructions of the inverter-manufacturer.
When connecting to a charge controller, please observe the instructions of the manufacturer of the charge
controller and accumulator.
These instructions contain information about safe handling and about the installation of framed solar
modules by Perfectenergy in outdoor open spaces (fields) or on flat or tilted roofs. They are only for
specialists, who are familiar with the installation due to their vocational qualification, and they contain
safety-relevant instructions for the assembly, connection and maintenance of the solar modules.
Important Notice: The installation of the solar modules and especially the electrical installation may only be
carried out by personnel with electro-technical qualifications. Appropriately qualified technicians must
always be deployed to service the units or remedy faults during operation.
The installation techniques, handling and use of this product are beyond company control. For this reason,
Perfectenergy accepts no liability for damage arising through improper use or incorrect installation,
operation, use and maintenance.
Please read these instructions carefully before handling the solar modules and familiarize yourself with the
safety information. After the modules have been installed, hand over these instructions to the operator of
the PV-system for safe-keeping.

Page 1: Installation Manual
These instructions contain information about safe handling and about the installation of framed solar modules by Perfectenergy in outdoor open spaces (fields) or on flat or tilted roofs. They are only for specialists, who are familiar with the installation due to their vocational qualification, and they contain safety-relevant instructions for the assembly, connection and maintenance of the solar modules. - Page 2 Installation Manual Technical Data Type designation PEM-160/X-72M PEM-180/X-72M-SCC Electrical Data (rated at Standard Test Conditions: Irradiance 1000 W/m²; Air mass 1.5; Temperature 25°C) Nominal Power (P) 170 W 175 W 180 W 180W 185W 190W Mpp-Voltage (Vmpp) 35,6 V 35,9 V...
- Page 3 Installation Manual 3. Safety instructions The assembly and commissioning of the solar modules may only be carried out by those, who are qualified to correctly and safely install the system. Pay attention to the local ordinances, building standards and accident-prevention regulations. The safety information for other system components must also be followed.
- Page 4 Installation Manual 4. Mechanical installation 4.1 Location The solar modules can be installed on roofs or open spaces on support structures. Please pay attention to the local ordinances, building-standards and accident-prevention regulations during installation. The attachment must be sufficiently dimensioned to cope with the location’s load requirements. To obtain maximum yield from the system, all modules should have the same direction and tilt-angle, and the solar irradiation should strike the modules perpendicular to their surface.
- Page 5 Installation Manual 4.3 Mounting requirements The PerfectEnergy-modules described in this manual are designed to meet a maximum positive (or upward, e.g. wind) and negative (or downward, e.g. snow) load of 5400 Pa (Pascals; 540 kg/m²) when mounted in one of the following mounting configurations.
- Page 6 Installation Manual 5. Electrical connection Only specially trained and qualified personnel may make the electrical connection! The maximum system voltage of solar modules connected with each other may not exceed 1000VDC! When designing the system, please note that the module voltage increases when the temperatures are low.
- Page 7 Installation Manual 7. Maintenance Perfectenergy solar modules are designed for long-term service and are almost maintenance- free. When the slope is adequate (>15°), the solar modules do not need to be cleaned thanks to the self-cleaning effect of rain. In case of heavy soiling, we recommend cleaning the modules using plenty of water, without any cleaning agents and using a gentle cleaning implement (cloth or sponge).
