(PV) Documentation and Installation
Manual
SoliTek Standard Photovoltaic Modules
Please read carefully the following product documentation and safety instructions.
Non-compliance with these instructions may void the module warranty.
1. Purpose of this documentation
This guide contains basic information regarding JSC "Soli Tek Cells" standard photovoltaic modules, their
installation and safe handling. All instructions should be read and understood before attempting
installation. If there are any questions, please contact your dealer or JSC "Soli Tek Cells" for further
information.
This documentation refers to the PV-modules themselves and is not meant to be a complete installation
manual for personnel not specifically trained to PV-modules. It serves as a general but strictly mandatory
to the Installer reference. Infringement or inaccurate observance of any clause of this documentation
voids the warranty.
Generally, the installer must conform to all safety precautions in this documentation, as well as the
applicable national codes and standards when installing PV-modules. Before installing a solar photovoltaic
system, the installer should become familiar with the mechanical and electrical requirements for
photovoltaic systems. Keep this documentation in a safe place for future reference.
2. System components (modules and mounting system; standard scope of delivery)
SoliTek Standard photovoltaic modules (type designation Standard xxxW P(M).60, where xxx
stands for nominal power values up to 300 Wp), IEC 61215ed. 2 and IEC61730 certified framed
glass/foil laminates with crystalline solar cells, permanently attached junction box, and double
insulated 4mm² wires terminated in touch safe specific PV DC-connectors.
The mounting system does not form part of JSC "Soli Tek Cells" supply.
3. General safety relevant aspects
Do not attempt to disassemble the module, and do not remove any attached nameplates or
components. Doing so will void the warranty.
The modules are qualified for application class A: Hazardous voltage (IEC 61730: higher than 50V
DC; EN 61730: higher than 120V), hazardous power applications (higher than 240W) where
general contact access is anticipated.

- Page 1 2. System components (modules and mounting system; standard scope of delivery) SoliTek Standard photovoltaic modules (type designation Standard xxxW P(M).60, where xxx stands for nominal power values up to 300 Wp), IEC 61215ed. 2 and IEC61730 certified framed glass/foil laminates with crystalline solar cells, permanently attached junction box, and double insulated 4mm²...
- Page 2 Installing solar photovoltaic systems requires specialized skills and knowledge. It should be performed only by qualified and specially instructed personnel. The installer assumes all risk of injury, including risk of electric shock. Use only equipment, connectors, wiring and mounting hardware specifically designed for use in a photovoltaic system.
- Page 3 Accordingly, the values of ISC and VOC marked on this module should be multiplied by a factor of 1,25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor current ratings, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to the PV output. In the USA, refer to Section 690-8 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) for an additional multiplying factor of 125 percent (80 percent de-rating) which may be applicable.
- Page 4 4. Mechanical Installation 4.1. Robustness of modules and mounting system Modules have been tested to withstand snow and wind loads of up to 1 600 Pa. The tests were conducted with a static load for one hour. This value includes safety factor of 1.5, which means that maximum mechanical pressure and suction of the panels is 2400 Pa.
- Page 5 4.3.2. Mounting with clamping hardware If module clamps are used to secure the module, the torque on the clamp bolt has to be in range of 8-10 Nm (Figure 2). A minimum of four module clamps should be used, two on each long frame side, in the general clamping areas denoted by the wide arrows on the drawing (Figure 3).
- Page 6 In figure 3 1600 Pa corresponds to wind and snow loadings. Any responsibility for inspection if additional mounting points and/or module clamps are required due to the local wind and snow loads or due to the particular features of mounting system or its parts lies within the installer.
- Page 7 6. Lightning protection For safe operation of PV modules proper lightning protection equipment has to be installed. Lightning protection has to be achieved by passive Franklin grounding rods installed in a location of solar power plant. Please make sure that lightning sphere will not reach PV modules, mounting system, inverters or other parts.
