  • Page 4: Introduction

    The installer must inform the end customers (or consumers) of the above matters accordingly. The term "Module" or "PV Module" in this manual refers to one or more 210 Vertex series solar modules. Please retain this manual for future reference.
  • Page 5 Do not stand, sit, walk, or jump directly on the module package or the module itself. The PV module does not contain any serviceable parts. Do not disassemble or move any part of the module. Do not damage or scratch the front- or backside surfaces of the module, as scratches may directly affect the product safety.

  • Page 6: Site Selection And Angle

    The tilt angle of the PV module refers to the angle between the module and the horizontal ground. The tilt angle shall be selected according to the local conditions for different projects. Trina Solar recommends that the mounting tilt angle should not be less than 10° . For specific tilt angles, it shall be chosen in accordance with the local design procedures, specifications and regulations, or following the recommendations of the experienced PV module installers.

  • Page 7: Unload/Transportation/Storage

    Upon arrival of the modules, please check the packaging box is in good condition, and check whether the module type and quantity on the outer packaging are consistent with the delivery order, if anything is wrong, please contact Trina Solar logistics and sales staff immediately. 1. Unloading with a crane When crane is used to unload the modules, please choose and use specialized tooling according to the weight and size of the module.
  • Page 8 Trina Solar User Manual | Vertex Series Modules Please drive slowly and do not allow forks to hit the cartons or pallets. It is recommended to operate the forklift from the short side of the pallet and not touch the glass side. If the operation must be carried out on the glass side, please place buffer protection material (in yellow) in advance to prevent the inside modules being damaged due to the external force.
  • Page 9 SECONDARY TRANSPORTATION The packaged modules can be transported by land, sea or air. During transportation, make sure that the package is fixed with packing belts securely on the shipping platform without any movement. If the unpacked modules need to be transported to other places, it is recommended to pack the single module together in a package to the maximum number allowed, and fixed with inner packing belts (2100N force recommended).

  • Page 10: Unpacking Introduction

    Stacks of modules should contain no more than 16 modules, and the frames should be aligned. For matters regarding the unpacking stand supporter, please contact Trina Solar sales.
  • Page 11 In windy weather, it is recommended not to carry the modules, and the unpacked modules should be properly secured. Do not unpack the modules outside under rain and snow conditions. Do not carry the module by one person to prevent the module from slipping and hitting other modules, causing scratches, cracks, or deformation on the modules.

  • Page 14: Installation

    The fire rating of Trina Solar modules complies with relevant standards or local laws and regulations. Before installation, please carefully check the modules for abnormalities such as glass bursts, cell cracks, backsheet scratches, deformation of installation holes, broken junction boxes or missing covers, nameplates falling off or missing, and broken cables or connectors, etc.
  • Page 15 blocking the solar cells on the back of the module. The open area should minimize arc coil, which can reduce the risk of induced lightning impact on PV module. Do not install modules under rain, snow or windy conditions. If installing or operate modules after rain or in the morning dew, appropriate protective measures need to be taken to prevent water vapor from penetrating into the connector.

  • Page 16: Installation Method

    If in such case that an alternative mounting method is used but not approved by Trina Solar, the module may get damaged and the warranty will be invalidated. The mechanical loads described in this manual are the test loads. For calculating the equivalent maximum design loads, a safety factor of 1.5 needs to be considered in compliance with the...

  • Page 17: Clamp Installation

    6.2.2 CLAMP INSTALLATION Trina Solar has tested its modules with a number of clamps from different manufacturers, it is recommended to use fixing bolt of at least M8. The clamp should have length of ≥50 mm (1.97 inch) with thickness of ≥3 mm (0.12 inch). The clamp shall not be malfunctioned due to deformation or corrosion during the loading process.
  • Page 18 Trina Solar User Manual | Vertex Series Modules The installation method of clamps is shown in Figure 2. End clamp installation Middle clamp installation. Figure 2. PV module installed with clamp fitting method. Clamp positions are of crucial importance for the reliability of the installation. The clamp centerlines must only be positioned within the ranges indicated in table below, depending on the configurations and loads.
  • Page 19 The following installation methods and mechanical loads have been verified by the Trina Solar’s National Key Laboratory for PV Science and Technology. Module type Maximum loads Module type Maximum loads Use 4 clamps on the short side. Use 4 clamps on the short side.
