  • Page 4: Safety

    • do not wear rings, jewelry, watches, or other metallic items while working with photovoltaic modules.eping. 3.3 MAInTEnAnCE Check modules, glass, and frames for damage. regularly inspect all MEMC Silvantis Solar Modules for safe electrical connections, sound mechanical connections, and freedom from shading and corrosion. If dirt or debris buildup becomes excessive, periodically clean the glass only with a soft cloth using mild, non-abrasive detergent and water.
  • 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: MEMC solar modules produce the most power when they are pointed directly at the sun, and should be tilted for optimum system performance.

  • Page 8: Mechanical Installation Warnings

    • Electrical characteristics are within plus or minus 5% of rated values for Isc, voc, Impp and vmpp. Modules may operate under conditions which may be significantly different than STC. MEMC suggests multiplying specified ratings by a minimum of 1.25* or more when specifying the system and balance of system components. 1.25* refer to local codes before planning and design of the system.
  • Page 9: Grounding

    • 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. MEMC recommends the use of dC rated fuses or overcurrent protection devices with the appropriate maximum voltage rating.
