3 Instructions on the system
layout
3.1
General instructions
The solar modules are a key component in a photo-
voltaic system. Solar electricity outputs and the length
of lifecycles in systems depend on a variety of factors.
The following instructions on the mechanical and
electrical system layout serve to ensure an optimum
layout for systems containing μm-Si plus EU1510 so-
lar modules. You can find relevant standards and
guidelines in Section 4.
You should also familiarize yourself with ap-
plicable local standards, guidelines, direc-
tives and official regulations, such as techni-
cal conditions for connecting to the respec-
tive power supplier's grid, handling asbestos
roofs, lightning protection regulations and fire
safety regulations.
μm-Si plus EU1510 solar modules are prod-
ucts which contain two panes of glass. En-
sure that nobody can tread on the module
surfaces and fastening elements during in-
stallation and maintenance.
Allow for access to the system for installa-
tion, inspection and maintenance purposes,
ensuring that sufficient space is provided for
carrying out installation and maintenance
work.
The optimum orientation for surfaces used to
generate solar energy depends on the lati-
tude and local weather conditions. In non-
tracking systems in Europe, the most solar
power is generated when solar modules are
placed at an angle of around 30° ± 15° with
the solar module's active surface facing the
Equator. You can find more detailed informa-
tion on surface orientation in relevant spe-
cialist publications. If solar modules are
placed in a suboptimal position, this gener-
ally leads to loss of output.
