• This guide contains information regarding the installation and safe handling of Sunman (Zhenjiang) Company Limited eArche PV system. Sunman (Zhenjiang) Company Limited referred to as “SUNMAN”. • Installers must read and understand this guide prior to installation.

General safety • eArche that fall under this application class may be used in system operation at more than 50V DC or 240W, where general contact access is anticipated. eArche are qualified for safety under IEC 61730-2 and within this application class are considered to meet the requirements for Safety Class II. •...
• Do not attempt to disassemble eArche, and do not remove any attached nameplates or components from eArche. • Do not apply paint or adhesive to eArche’ top surface. • To avoid damage to the front cover and backsheet, do not scratch, “dent” or hit the front cover and backsheet.
• Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic eArche 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 eArche should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor current ratings, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to the PV output.

• For detailed information on the best installation angle, refer to standard solar photovoltaic installation guides or consult a reputable solar installer or systems integrator. • eArche should not be shaded at any time. If a eArche is shaded or even partially shaded, it will fail to perform at ideal conditions and result in lower power output.

If grounding is required, use a recommended connector type for the grounding wire. • For grounding, this guide refers to module frame grounding. If grounding is required, make sure module frames (metal exposed to touch) are always grounded.

recommends periodic inspections of the installation system to maintain optimal eArche’ performance. • The DC current generated by photovoltaic systems can be converted into AC and fed into a public Grid. As local utilities’ policies on connecting renewable energy systems to the Grids vary from region to region.
