Third Party Supplier Information .................... 15 Warning Flisom eFlex PV-Modules are electrical devices for outdoor use. They generate electricity by sunlight. This manual contains important safety information and describes the correct installation, use and disposal of the product. Please read the manual carefully before installation to avoid endangering your life and the environment. -
Page 3: Introduction
FG2P1-4S1P00/1 Introduction Flisom eFlex Series modules are thin film photovoltaic devices which convert sun light into direct electrical current (DC). The eFlex is a flexible and lightweight solar panel designed for integration into roofs, structures with limited load bearing capacity, mobility applications on trailers, RVs, boats and many more demanding applications. - Page 4 Reverse currents may damage modules. To avoid reverse currents, maintain an equivalent voltage in each parallel connected string of the circuit. Do not cut or thin eFlex panels. Do not drive screws into the laminate.

(see thermal coefficients in the data sheet). Handling Flisom eFlex Series use thin polymeric sheets as backsheet. Hence they can bend by applying forces while installation (e.g. dropping on the edges or corner). Please handle with care. Store modules in a dry place. -

Less power is generated in shaded locations. Plan the installation in such a way, that the Flisom eFlex Series modules receive the same amount of direct sunlight within the same string (taking in account their orientation and shadowing). -
Page 7: Application
FG2P1-4S1P00/1 Application The Flisom eFlex modules with self-adhesive PVA 600BT backing are suitable to bond different roof materials. The compatible roof materials are listed in the table below. All other roof materials have to be tested before application. It is not possible to glue the eFlex modules with PVA 600BT on PVC materials. -
Page 8: Unpacking The Module
The modified bitumen has to be coated with a roof coating recommended by membrane supplier and ADCO/Kömmerling. Before application of Flisom eFlex modules check, if a primer is required by the roof substrate manufacturer. Check also that the roughness of the roof substrate is never greater than the thickness of the adhesive layer. -
Page 9: Module Arrangement Recommendation
Avoid contaminating the adhesive. The substrate has to be placed within 30 minutes after any primer has been applied. Best application temperature for the PVA 600BT is 10°C to 50°C. Application Steps: 1. Mark the module position on the roof. This manual applies only on Flisom’s eFlex Series modules... - Page 10 2. Remove 15cm of the white protective foil on the short side with the junction box 3. Put the module on the marked position and press it on the roof with a rubber roller.

1.25 up to the maximum system voltage which you can find on the label. Do not use PV modules of different power classes or configurations in the same PV system. Flisom eFlex Series modules use PV4-S connectors. Only use these connectors or compatible connector types which are authorised from both producers. -

Page 14: Operation
Modules with the same classification have the same functionality and are fully compatible with one another. Since Flisom has no control of the correct use of the safety and installation guideline, Flisom is not responsible for injuries, operational errors, damages and expenses caused by incorrect handling, installation, operation or maintenance. -
