Page 5: Overview
01 Overview Thank you very much for choosing the products of AIKO Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “AIKO”). This Installation Manual contains important information regarding electrical and mechanical installation which you shall know before installing modules. It also contains some other safety information that you must be familiar with. -
Page 6: General Information
03 General information 3.1Module identification AlKO modules provide Two visual labels: Nameplate Product type, information regarding the rated power, rated current, rated voltage, open circuit voltage, short circuit current under standard test conditions (STC), maximum system voltage and certification mark, etc. Serial number Each individual module is identified with a unique serial number which is printed on the barcode and placed into the module before lamination. - Page 7 Barcode Packing List：Packing list including the information of the module type, product serial number, package weight, package dimension as well as cells color classification. To ensure consistency of the overall color of system when the customer use the modules, the box of modules is packaged according to the same color of cells and marking the with S1, S2, S3, on the packing list.
- Page 8 3.2 Wiring method The junction box of AlKO modules is located in the middle position. Please refer to the table below for how to connect AlKO modules in series. 8 / 28...

Page 9: General Safety
AlKO modules are designed to operate in application according to IEC standards IEC-61215 and IEC- 61730. Modules are designed with safety class ll and fire class rating C. ⚫ Before to handle and install AIKO PV module, read carefully and understand this Installation Manual. If you need any explanation, contact AIKO (aikosolar.com). ⚫... -
Page 10: Handling Safety
⚫ Do not make electrical connection by means other than connectors. ⚫ Broken modules have the risk of electric shock and fire that must be replaced immediately. ⚫ Module must be installed when it is electrically safe. ⚫ Avoid touching modules as the surface and frame of the modules may be hot and there is a risk of burns or electric shock. -
Page 11: Fire Safety
⚫ During the transportation, please refers to Chapter 4 - Storage and Transportation instructions. Any inappropriate handling and storage can result in breakage of glass or loss of electrical property, and consequently loss the use value of modules. ⚫ Take careful when install the modules. In any case, it is forbidden to lift the module by lifting the junction box or cable. -
Page 12: Storage And Transportation Instructions
Upon arrival of the modules, please check the packaging box is in good condition, and check whether the module type and quantity on the outer packaging are consistent with the delivery order. If anything wrong is observed, please contact AIKO logistics and sales staff immediately. ⚫... -
Page 13: Considerations For Module Turnover And Transportation
4.2 Considerations for module turnover and transportation ⚫ When using forklift to transport modules, please ensure that the fork length meets the requirements to avoid module tilting due to uneven force. ⚫ When opening the packing box, please place the modules to be unpacked at a distance of 20-30cm from the wall or another torr of modules, and then remove the torr. -
Page 14: Installation Conditions
05 Installation conditions 5.1 Location and working environment ⚫ Modules are recommended to be installed in a -20℃ to 50℃ environments, with an extreme working ambient temperature of -40 ℃ to 85 ℃ and a humidity less than 85%RH. ⚫ Modules are designed to operate below 2000 m (above sea level). -
Page 15: Tilt Angle Selection
When the surface of the module is perpendicular to sunlight, the output power reach the maximum output value. AIKO recommend the installation angle shall not less than 10 degree. The optimal tilt angle of PV arrays shall be designed by taking into account the multi-year average monthly irradiance, direct irradiance, scattering irradiance, wind speed and other climate conditions at the location. -
Page 16: Mechanical Installation
06 Mechanical installation 6.1 General requirements ⚫ Make sure that the modules are properly installed and the mounting structure are adequately fastened. Module mounting system shall be constructed of anticorrosive, ultraviolet resistant materials. ⚫ Installation bracket system shall be tested and inspected by the third party testing institution with static mechanical analysis capacity in accordance with local national standards or international standards. -
