Modules should be safely fixed to bear all expected loads, including wind and snow loads. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS After the installation of double glass modules, a 30 mm Ensure that the module meets the general technical deflection for framed module is allowed. system requirements.
RELIABLE VENTILATION Bifacial modules use direct, reflected, or diffuse sunlight on the backside to generate additional power. Therefore, bifacial modules are not suggested to be used in building attached photovoltaic systems (BAPV). If BAPV, or similar mounting is still required, sufficient clearance of at least 10 cm (3.94 in) between the module and the mounting surface needs to be provided to allow cooling air to circulate around the back of the module.

CORRECT CONNECTION OF CONNECTORS resistant cable ties. Protect exposed cables from damage by taking appropriate precautions (e.g. placing Make sure that all connections are safe and properly them inside a metallic raceway like EMT conduit). Avoid mated. The PV connector should not be subject to stress exposure to direct sunlight.
