    Installation Manual: SunEdison Silvantis P300 | M330/F330/D330 3 of 17 3.2 STORAGE, UNPACKING, AND HANDLING • Packaged modules must be stored in a dry and ventilated area. • Packaged modules must not be exposed to rain, snow, hail or other environmental conditions that may compromise the packaging material and the modules.
  • Page 5: Mechanical Installation

    • Mechanical structures should not contact the module backsheet under any expected load conditions • Consider the following factors during system design, which will influence performance: SunEdison solar modules produce the most power when they are pointed directly at the sun, and should be tilted for optimum system performance.

    -0/+5W at standard test conditions (STC). However, modules will operate under conditions which may be significantly different than STC. SunEdison suggests multiplying specified ratings by a minimum of 1.25 or more when specifying the system and balance of system components. Refer to local codes before planning and design of the system.

    • There is no limit to the maximum number of series strings that can be combined in parallel. However, when doing so, each string must include overcurrent protection with a maximum rating of 15A. SunEdison recommends the use of DC rated fuses or overcurrent protection devices with the appropriate maximum voltage rating.
  • Page 11: Option A: Metal Lug

    5.3 OPTION A: METAL LUG SunEdison recommends using a copper or tin plated grounding lug that is rated for outdoor use and uses no smaller than a #12 wire. The use of a copper split bolt connector is authorized for use as well.
