INSTALLATION MANUAL CRYSTALLINE SOLAR MODULES 1. ABOUT THIS MANUAL Thank you for choosing Sapphire Solar PV modules. You have chosen modules that have been manufactured to the highest standards and will provide exceptional performance over their lifetime to maximize your investment.
Do NOT artificially concentrate sunlight on these solar modules. • Sapphire Solar modules are certified for operating in Class A installations at voltages below 1000Vdc. This maximum voltage should not be exceeded at any time and, as the voltage of the module increases, above data sheet values, at operating temperatures below 25°C, then these need to be...
Note all serial numbers in a safe place for your future records. 5. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS 5.1 Climate conditions Sapphire Solar crystalline series modules may be installed in the following conditions for more than 25 years. Environment • Ambient temperature: -40°C to +50°C. • Operating temperature: -40°C to +85°C.

• Sapphire Solar modules can be installed with the use of third party listed grounding devices for grounding the metallic frames of PV modules. The devices have to be installed in accordance with the grounding device manufacturer’s specified instructions.
The back surface of the module normally does not need to be cleaned but, in the event this is deemed necessary, avoid the use of any sharp projects that might damage the penetrating substrate material. Sapphire Solar can provide an annual inspection and maintenance service at an additional cost, please contact us on 1300 308 751 or customerservice@sapphire-solar.com for further information.
INSTALLATION MANUAL CRYSTALLINE SOLAR MODULES Turn on the Solar Array DC Main Switch located next to the inverter. If you have two DC isolators turn both on. Turn on Solar Array AC Main Switch located in the switchboard and/or next to the inverter. 11.
