Page 4: General Requirements
This guide contains basic information regarding JSC “SoliTek Cells” SOLID series 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 “SoliTek Cells” for further information. -
Page 5: Handling
SoliTek PV modules are heavy and should be handled with care. Never use the junction box or cables as a grip. Do not exert mechanical stress on the cables. Never step on PV modules or drop or place heavy objects on them. -
Page 6: Application
Artificially concentrated light must not be directed on SoliTek PV modules. 3.2 Recommendations SoliTek recommends that PV modules be mounted at a minimum tilt angle of 10 degrees to allow for proper self-cleaning from rain. Partial or complete shading of a PV module or modules can significantly reduce system performance. -
Page 7: Electrical Installation
4 Electrical installation 4.1 Safety PV modules can produce current and voltage when exposed to light of any intensity. Electrical current increases with higher light intensity. DC voltage of 50 Volts or higher is potentially lethal. Contacting the live circuitry of a PV system operating under light can result in lethal electric shock. De-energize PV modules by removing them entirely from light or by covering their front surface with an opaque material. - Page 8 Before any manipulation at an installed PV plant, switch it of first on AC-side after on DC-side of the inverter or the charge controller. When disconnecting wires connected to a photovoltaic module that is exposed to light, an electric arc may occur. Arcs can cause burns, start fires or otherwise create safety (up to lethal electric shock) problems.

Page 9: Configuration
Use appropriate safety equipment (insulated tools, dielectric gloves and shoes, etc) approved for use on electrical installations. 4.2 Configuration Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module is likely to experience conditions that produce more current and/or voltage than reported at Standard Test Conditions (STC: 1000 W/m , AM 1.5, and 25°C cell temperature) or Bifacial Standard Test Conditions (BSTC: 1167 W/m , AM 1.5, and 25°C cell... -
Page 10: Overcurrent Protection Device (Ocpd)
4.3 Overcurrent protection device (OCPD) When the potential reverse current of a PV string exceeds the rated SoliTek PV module series fuse rating (values indicated at the module datasheet) an overcurrent protection device (OCPD) must be used (IEC 61730-1 clause 12.3). An overcurrent protection device is required for each series string if more than two series are connected in parallel. -
Page 11: Grounding
Safety grounding must be performed accordingly. 4.5.1 SOLID Framed series modules grounding For SOLID Framed series of PV panels grounding has to be assured by connecting module frame to the grounding structure. Observe all local electric codes and regulations. A bolted connection is... -
Page 12: Solid Pro And Bifacial Series Grounding
Eurocodes or other legal normative references. 4.5.2 SOLID Pro and bifacial series grounding Due to that SoliTek SOLID Pro and Bifacial modules are frameless, no module grounding is required. Other PV plant equipment should be grounded according to the local and national electrical codes. -
Page 13: Fire Class Rating
5 Fire class rating SoliTek SOLID module has been approved by the IEC fire test and achieved Flammability Class A. Fire test was performed at the inclination of 127 mm per 300 mm (as prescribed in the point A.2.5 of IEC 61730-2). -
Page 14: Mounting With Clamps
The mounting rail must be made of durable, anti-corrosive and UV-resistant materials. 6.2 Mounting with clamps SoliTek has tested its modules with Alumero CLICK 6.8 clamps. Use at minimum 4 clamps to fix modules on the mounting rails. Modules clamps metal parts should not come into contact with the front or back glass. - Page 15 Figure 1. Recommended clamp dimensions for the SoliTek PV Glass-Glass modules...

• 1600 Pa wind load / 3600 Pa snow load Figure 2. 6.3 SOLID Pro P(M).60 mounting with four fixing points and transversal rails. Using four fixing points with clamps on 60 cell regular size modules allows to achieve 1600 Pa of wind loadings and 3600 Pa of snow loads if Alumero CLICK 6.8 200 mm clamps are used. - Page 17 • 1600 Pa wind load / 5330 Pa snow load Figure 3. SOLID Pro P(M).60 and Bifacial B.60 mounting with eight fixing points and transversal rails. Using four Alumero CLICK 6.8 200 mm clamps allows for the panel to achieve 5330 Pa of snow loads and 1600 Pa of wind loads.

Page 18: Blackstar (Solid Framed) B(M).60Mounting
Clamping on the long side of module frame allows for the panel to withstand 3600 Pa of snow load and 1600 Pa of wind loads. Figure 4. SOLID Framed P(M).60 mounting with clamps 6.4.2 Mounting with bolts The module must be attached and supported by four M8 stainless steel bolts through the indicated mounting holes (Figure 1) on the transversal bars. -
Page 19: Maintenance
Drilling new holes is forbidden and will void the warranty. 7 Maintenance In order to ensure optimum module performance, SoliTek recommends the following: If necessary, the glass front of the module can be cleaned with water and a soft sponge or cloth. A mild, non- abrasive detergent can be used to remove more stubborn stains. -
