Page 4: Introduction
1.1 Purpose This document provides detailed instructions and safety precautions regarding the installation, electrical connection, and maintenance of Autarco’ Solar PV modules. This manual is for authorized solar installers using Autarco Solar PV Modules. Before any further action, operators must read all safety regulations and be aware of the potential danger in operating high-voltage devices. -
Page 5: Preparation
Installation and Operation Manual 2. Preparation 2.1 Safety instructions Solar modules generate electricity as soon as they are exposed to light. The voltage of a single module is less than 50VDC. When several modules are connected in series, the combined voltage can be dangerously high. When the modules are connected in parallel the currents are summed together. -
Page 6: Unpacking The Modules And Storage
2.2 Unpacking the modules and storage The utmost care is required when handling the modules. Take care when unpacking, transporting, and storing them. ● Leave modules in packaging until they are to be installed. ● Carry modules with both hands. ●... -
Page 7: Installation
Create a work zone to avoid accidents. WARNING! The following paragraphs are very important. Failure to comply with these instructions can lead to system underperformance and will void the Autarco kWh guarantee. 3.1 Keeping within the maximum permitted load Make sure the support structure adheres to maximum permissible load requirements as prescribed by local ordinances, particularly in regions of high snow accumulations and high wind velocities. -
Page 8: Optimal Orientation And Tilt
Conditions for generating electricity are considered ideal when the sun’s rays strike the module perpendicular to its surface. To avoid performance drops in series circuits, ensure that all modules have the same orientation and tilt. Failing to do so will void the Autarco AC power output guarantee.

Page 9: Mounting
Installation and Operation Manual 4. Mounting We strongly recommend using Autarco’ proprietary mounting systems with our modules. When the system is designed on our software platform, Helios and installed according to the technical guidance provided by Helios you can be sure that the structural integrity of the system is sound and there is no risk of voiding the module warranty. - Page 10 MHO Series 0 – 400 mm Clamping on short sides (Autarco Matrix Mounting Systems) ATTENTION!

Page 12: Wiring
When Autarco modules are supplied as part of an integrally designed, complete Autarco Solar PV system, the supplied wiring diagram should be followed. -
Page 13: Maintenance
Regularly carry out a visual inspection for dirt, dust, bird dropping, leaves, and other detritus covering the modules. The frequency of cleaning is dependent on the local environment and rain levels. When the system is sold with an Autarco performance guarantee or O&M contract, our performance monitoring will indicate when cleaning is necessary. -
Page 14: Recycling
7. Recycling Our commitment to sustainability extends to the end of the solar module’s life. Autarco is a member of the Stichting OPEN foundation. As a producer of electronic devices, we are responsible for facilitating the recycling and collection processes of our solar panels. For every solar panel we produce, we pay a fixed fee to Stichting OPEN. This fee ensures that the solar panels can be recycled after their economic lifetime.
