1000 W/m² , 25° C cell temperature and AM 1.5 solar spectral irradiance. • For CUL listed products only: Fire class rating: C • The fire rating of a Trina Solar PV module is valid only when mounted in the manner specified in the mechanical mounting instructions of this installation manual.
5. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND SITE SELECTION 5.1 CLIMATE CONDITIONS Trina Solar Crystalline series modules may be installed in the following conditions for more than 25 years. In addition to the required IEC certification, Trina Solar products have also been tested to verify resistance to ammonia fumes that may be present around barns sheltering cattle, as well as suitability for installation in humid (coastal) areas and areas of high sand storms.
• The frame of each module has 4-φ9*14mm mounting holes, ideally placed to optimize the load handling capability, to secure the modules to supporting structure. • To maximize mounting longevity, Trina Solar strongly recommends the use of corrosion proof (stainless steel) fixings •...

B. Mounting with Clamps • Trina Solar has tested its modules with a number of clamps from different manufacturers, fixing bolt of at least M8. The length of clamp ≥40mm(1.57in). thickness ≥3mm(0.12in), recommended material: aluminum alloy6003 or 6005. • The clamp must overlap the module frame by at least 7mm (0.28in) but no more than 10mm (0.39in).

3600Pa, and negative design loading 1600Pa, with 1.5 times safety factor, and product failure as a result of an overload situation will not be covered by the Trina Solar warranty. Date: 2020.11 Doc No: PS-M-0904 Ver.
C. Mounting with Single-axis Tracking System • It is a Single-axis Tracking System, the module is fixed on the axis by bolting long frame. • The frame of each module has 4-φ7*10mm(0.28*0.39in) mounting holes with specific location shown in Figure 3. •...
National Electrical Codes. The grounding conductor must then make a connection to earth using a suitable earth ground electrode. • Trina Solar modules can be installed with the use of third party listed grounding devices for grounding the metallic frames of PV modules. The devices have to be installed in accordance with the grounding device manufacturer’s specified instructions.

• We also recommend using the following methods to ground installation properly under UL investigation, Method 1: Tyco grounding bolt # 2058729-1: Figure 4. Tyco grounding bolt # 2058729-1 1) Wire bolt and slot 2) Mounting wash hex nut 3) Aluminum frame 0.006 to 0.025in cable 5) Hex Nut...
4mm² (0.006in² ) which are rated for 1500V DC, 90° C and are UV resistant. All other cables used to connect the DC system should have a similar (or better) specification. Trina Solar recommend that all cables are run in appropriate conduits and sited away from areas prone to water collection.
• The module is rated to operate at potentially lethal DC voltages which have the potential can cause severe electrical shock, arcing and fire hazards. Whilst some solar modules, manufactured by Trina Solar, are certified to operate up to 1500V DC,always check the module label to confirm the actual rating of your product before making connections.
7.2 INVERTER SELETION AND COMPATIBILITY • When installed in systems governed by IEC regulations, Trina Solar modules normally do not need to be electronically connected to earth and therefore can be operated together with either galvanically isolated (with transformer) and transformerless inverters.
• Cover the front surface of modules by an opaque material when repairing. Modules when exposed to sunlight generate high voltage and are dangerous. • Trina Solar PV modules are equipped with bypass diodes in the junction box. This minimizes module heating and current losses.
