2.PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

Each module has label providing the following information:
Nameplate label: describes the product type, rated power, rated current, rated voltage, open circuit voltage,
short circuit current, (all as measured under standard test conditions), weight, dimensions and the maximum
system voltage of 1,000 volts DC. The nameplate is attached on the backsheet of the module.

3. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Selecting the location

• Select a suitable location for installing the modules.
• The modules should be facing south in northern latitudes and north in southern latitudes.
• For detailed information on the best installation angle, refer to standard solar photovoltaic installation
guides or consult a reputable solar installer or systems integrator.
• The module should not be continuously shaded.
• Do not install modules near equipment or in locations where flammable gases may be generated or collected.
• Do not install modules under water or in continuous contact with water.
• Do not install modules in locations where they may be exposed to sulfur or harmful, corrosive chemicals.
• Do not install modules in environments with excessive dust, sand, salt mist or pollution.

General Installation Guidelines

• The module mounting structure must be made of durable, corrosion-resistant and UV-resistant material.
• In regions with heavy snowfall in winter, select the height of the mounting system so that the lowest edge
of the module is not covered by snow for any length of time.
• In addition, ensure that the lowest portion of the module is placed high enough so that it is not shaded by
plants or trees or damaged by flying sand.
• The modules must be securely attached to the mounting structure.
• Provide adequate ventilation under the modules in conformity to your local regulations. A minimum dis-
tance of 10 cm between the roof plane and the frame of the module is generally recommended.
• Always observe the instructions and safety precautions included with the module support frames.
• Do not attempt to drill holes in the glass surface of the modules as this will void the warranty.
