REC N-Peak panels have a Type 2 fire rating according to UL1703. The fire performance rating of the panels is only valid when mounted in the manner specified in this installation manual. The complete system fire class rating is to be achieved by the combination of panel fire performance type and UL2703 certified mounting structure for a non-BIPV panel. -
Page 6: Panel Installation
PaNEL INSTaLLaTION REC solar panels are designed for capturing solar radiation and are not suitable for use as overhead or vertical glazing. The IP rating of the junction box provides a level of protection that allows panels to be mounted in any orientation (see product technical specifications for exact rating). The panels are considered to be in compliance with UL 1703, only when the panel is mounted according to the mounting instructions specified below: Panels must be installed so that the cells are not shaded as this will drastically reduce electrical output. -

MountIng MEtHods: MountIng HolEs REC N-Peak panels can be mounted utilizing the four 0,4 x 0,25 in (11 x 6.6 mm) elongated holes on the underside of the panel at a distance of 15 in (382.5 mm) from the corner (fig. 6) in conjunction with a device, e.g., screws, lockbolts or structural blind fasteners, with specifications suitable for the installation (fig. -
Page 10: Drainage Holes
HolEs Each corner of the REC panel frame has small drainage holes spaced 2.2 in (55 mm) from the corner of the panel frame that allow water caused by rain, condensation, snow melt, cleaning or any other process to exit the frame easily and minimize damage caused by freezing and thawing (fig. 9). These holes must not be used for mounting the panel, and they must not be covered by any part of the mounting structure. -
Page 11: Connections And Connectors
CONNECTIONS aND CONNECTORS The connectors used on REC solar panels are specified in the panel characteristics at the rear of this manual. The connector IP rating is only valid when the they are correctly connected. all connectors and cables must be secure and tight as well as electrically and mechanically sound. UV-resistant cables and connectors approved for outdoor use must be used. -
Page 12: Maintenance
ElEctrIcal and ElEctronIc EquIPMEnt Panels should be recycled at the end of their useful life according to local guidelines and regulations. By ensuring REC solar panels are disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste treatment. -
