1. Introduction 1.1 Read this first To reduce the risk of electrical shock, and to ensure the safe installation and operation of the Autarco solar PV modules, the following safety symbols appear throughout this document to indicate dangerous conditions and important safety instructions.
installation and operation manual 2. Preparation 2.1 Safety instructions Solar modules generate electricity as soon as they are exposed to light. The voltage of a single module is less than 50VDC. When several modules are connected in series, the summed voltage can be dangerously high. When the modules are connected in parallel the currents are summed together.
WARNING! The following paragraphs are very important. Failure to comply to these instructions can lead to system underperformance and will void the Autarco kWh guarantee. 3.1 Keeping within the maximum permitted load Make sure the support structure adheres to maximum permissible load requirements as prescribed by local ordinances, particularly in regions of high snow accumulations and high wind velocities.
3.7 Shading Even partial shading will cause a yield reduction and can void the Autarco kWh guarantee. A module is “shade free” when the entire surface is shade free from 10:00 to 15:00 local time every day of the year.
4. Mounting Each module must be securely fastened at a minimum of four (4) points on two (2) opposite sides. The following clamping positions should be adhered to: Clamping positions when clamping on the long sides MA series 220 – 340mm MB-series 220 –...
Modules should be strung in a way that the resulting voltages and currents do not violate the max. voltage and max. current of the inverter and module which are stated on the product datasheets. When Autarco modules are supplied as part of an integrally designed, complete Autarco solar PV system, the supplied wiring diagram should be followed.
