The modules have been evaluated by UL for a maximum positive design loading of 5400Pa and a negative design
loading of 2400Pa.
3.2 Mounting solar modules on installation frame
The solar modules can be damaged if the proper procedure is not followed!
| Only work in dry conditions.
| Secure the solar modules against slipping and falling.
| Do not drop the solar modules.
| Do not hold the solar module by its socket or connection cables.
| Always grasp the solar modules simultaneously at two opposite points on the module frame when lifting.
| Never carry solar modules by just one part of the frame.
| Do not expose the solar modules to mechanical impact.
| Do not touch the solar modules with sharp or pointed objects.
| Make sure the rear of the mounted solar module is not damaged even in the case of deflection due to
mechanical stress (e.g. due to snow loads).
| Do not drop any objects on the solar module and do not step on it.
| Do not drill holes in the frame of the solar module.
Attach the solar module using the four predrilled mounting holes on the underside of the frame (see Fig. 3–1). Use
corrosion-resistant stainless steel bolts only.
The solar modules can be clamped in the provided clamping areas (see Fig. 3–1).
The clamping elements must not protrude past the edge of the frame on the glass side.
Make sure the clamping elements do not damage the frame surface or bend the frame.

3.3 Electrical installation

3.3.1 Electrical values
All relevant electrical values are specified on the label on the reverse side of the solar module.
Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module is likely to experience conditions that produce more current and/or
voltage than reported at standard test conditions. Accordingly, the values of Isc and Voc marked on this module
should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor ampacities, fuse
sizes, and size of controls connected to the PV output.
Refer to Section 690-8 of the National Electrical Code for an additional multiplying factor of 125 percent (80 percent
derating) which may be applicable.
The maximum series fuse rating for these modules is 15A.
3.3.2 General safety instructions
| Carry out the cabling in accordance with the applicable regulations.
| Make sure that the cables and connections are not damaged. Protect the cables from damage.
