Page 4: Safety Measures
PANEL HANDLING In order to avoid damage to the solar cells and other components, all REC solar panels should be handled with care and protected from damage at all times. All warnings and instructions on the packaging should be observed. Follow these guidelines when unpacking, transporting, installing or storing panels: •... -
Page 5: Electrical Installation
Application Class REC solar panels are rated for use in electrical Application Class A, Protection Safety Class II; at hazardous levels of voltage (>35V), current(>8A) and power (>240W) where general contact access is anticipated (panels qualified for safety through IEC 61730-1 and -2). -
Page 6: Mechanical Installation
The solar panels must not be exposed to artificially concentrated light. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS REC solar panels are designed to provide decades of durable and stable output in installations up to 2000 m above sea level. Ambient operating temperatures must be between -40° and +85°C. -

CLAMP SPECIFICATIONS REC modules must be secured with a torque between 12 - 25 Nm. Clamp installation must be carried out according to the manufacturer’ s instructions, including specific hardware and torque requirements. Ensure the clamps used are suitable for the planned installation and expected system design loads. - Page 8 Mounting using clamps The above named REC 72-cell product families can be secured with continous rails using clamps where both clamps and rails are located within the constraints shown in fig. 6. Mounting with continous rails utilizing clamps has been found to be in compliance with IEC 61215 & IEC 61730 requirements for test loads of up to 5400 Pa (design load of 3600 Pa*) downward force and 2400 Pa (design load of 1600 Pa) upward force according to the clamping position (*stated design loads (DL) apply a safety factor of 1.5 to the test load, e.g., 5400 Pa / 1.5 = 3600 Pa).
- Page 9 Mounting using clamps The above named REC 72-cell product families can be secured with short rails using clamps where both clamps and rails are located within the constraints shown in fig. 7. Mounting with short rails utilizing clamps has been found to be in compliance with IEC 61215 & IEC 61730 requirements for test loads of up to 1400 Pa (design load of 933 Pa*) downward and upward force according to the clamping position (*stated design loads (DL) apply a safety factor of 1.5 to the test load, e.g., 5400 Pa / 1.5 = 3600 Pa).

Mounting holes All REC 72-cell panels have been certified for installation using the four elongated holes (11 x 6.6 mm) on the underside of the panel frame at a distance of 460 mm from the short side edge (fig. 8), utilizing rails and bolts matching the specifications in fig. 9. Installation of REC 72-cell panels using mounting holes has been found to be in compliance with IEC 61215 &... -
Page 11: Connections And Connectors
CONNECTIONS AND CONNECTORS The connectors used on REC solar panels are specified in the product specifications at the rear of this manual. The given IP rating is only valid when the connectors are correctly mated. All connectors and cables must be checked to ensure they are secure and tight, as well as electrically and mechanically sound. -
Page 12: Maintenance
The majority of the panel components can be recycled. For installations in the European Union, REC solar panels are subject to WEEE regulations. The symbol in fig. 14 as found on the label on the rear of the panel indicates that this product shall not be treated as household waste and must be disposed of at an appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. -
