2 of 17 1.0 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this guide is to provide general information regarding the proper installation and handling of SunEdison photovoltaic modules that serve residential, commercial, and industrial segments. System design, construction, and commissioning should be performed by qualified personnel only.
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.
• 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.

The PanelClaw should only be used on modules with flanges of 30 mm. Use of the SunEdison AP90 Single Axis Tracker is authorized for use as well. Please refer to the AP90 installation guide for specific instructions.
-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.
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.
Should you choose a rack integrated method that is not approved by UL please contact SunEdison before proceeding to determine compatibility. Figure 4: Grounding Lug Assembly 5.3 OPTION C: BOLT WIRE ASSEMBLY...
