PANEL HANDLING In order to avoid damage, all REC solar panels should be handled with care and protected from damage at all times. All warnings and instructions on the packaging should be observed. Follow these guidelines when unpacking, transporting, carrying, installing or storing panels: •... -
Page 7: Electrical Installation
APPLICATION CLASS REC solar panels are rated for use in electrical Application Class A, Protection Safety Class II; at hazardous levels of voltage (>35V), current(>8A) and power (>240W) where general contact access is anticipated (panels qualified for safety through IEC 61730-1 and -2). -
Page 8: Mechanical Installation
FIRE GUIDELINES The REC solar panels covered by this manual have a Class C (referencing UL 790) fire classification. REC Alpha panels are rated Type 2 fire classification according to IEC 61730-2:2016 (ref. ANSI/UL 1703); Utilize the following fire safety guidelines when installing REC solar panels: ... -
Page 9: Panel Installation
REC modules must be secured with a torque as shown in the table below (Fig. 1). Clamp installation must be carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions, including specific hardware and torque requirements. Ensure the clamps used are suitable for the planned installation and expected system design loads. ... -
Page 10: Mounting Methods: Mounting Holes
DRAINAGE HOLES On the long and short sides of the REC frame small drainage holes can be found that allow humidity and water to exit the frame easily and minimize the potential for damage (Fig. 5). These are spaced 55 mm from the corner of the panel. 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: Grounding
CONNECTIONS AND CONNECTORS The connectors used on REC panels are indicated in the Panel Characteristics at the rear of this manual. The connector IP rating is only valid when correctly connected. All connectors and cables must be secure and tight as well as electrically and mechanically sound. -
Page 12: Panel Maintenance
• To enable correct cooling and drying of the connectors, do not add extra protection to the connector, e.g., heat shrink, grease or tape. More detailed information is given in the Guide to Best Practice - Connections and Connectors which can be found via the REC online Download Center (www.recgroup.com/downloads) Fig. -
Page 13: Recycling
For installations in the European Union, REC solar panels are subject to WEEE regulations. The symbol in Fig. 7 as found on the label on the rear of the panel indicates that this product must not be treated as household waste and must be disposed of at an appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. -
Page 14: Special Installations
The REC solar panels covered by this manual may be installed on water platform-type mounting systems (note that the certification testing of solar panels does not include testing on these types of systems). When installing REC solar panels on fixed position (e.g., anchored) water platforms, for example, floating pontoons, follow the instructions below specific to such applications. -

‘retro-fit’ system made by third-party manufacturers. MLPE devices may be used on REC solar panels where desirable or mandatory (note that the certification testing of solar panels does not include testing with MLPE devices). When installing an MLPE device directly onto the frame structure of an REC solar panel, follow the instructions provided by the device manufacturer and the instructions specific for REC solar panels given below. -
