  • Page 4: General Requirements

    The purpose of this document is to provide minimum requirements and recommendations for safe and successful installation of SoliTek PV modules. This document also contains requirements necessary to retain SoliTek PV module compliance with IEC 61215, IEC 61730, UL 61730 standards.

  • Page 5: Handling

    Doing so will void the warranty. 2 Handling SoliTek PV modules must be transported in the supplied packaging only and kept in the packaging until they are ready to be installed. Protect pallets against movement and exposure to damage during transportation. Secure pallets from falling over. Do not exceed the maximum height of pallets to be stacked, as indicated on the pallet packaging.

  • Page 6: Application

    Artificially concentrated light must not be directed on SoliTek PV modules. 3.2 Recommendations SoliTek recommends that PV modules be mounted at a minimum tilt angle of 10 degrees to allow for proper self-cleaning from rain. Partial or complete shading of a PV module or modules can significantly reduce system performance.

  • Page 7: Electrical Installation

    Better module ventilation and shorter connection cables increase electrical energy production. For bifacial modules: It is recommended to increase PV panel height from the ground so that more light can travel beneath the module and then reflect The bifacial gain increases significantly if modules are installed above white (high albedo value), light reflecting surfaces.
  • Page 8 Do not touch or handle PV modules with broken glass unless the PV modules are first disconnected, and you are wearing proper PPE. Avoid handling PV modules when they are wet unless cleaning the PV modules as directed in this manual. Never touch electrical connections that are wet without protecting yourself with insulated gloves.

  • Page 9: Configuration

    Contact with a DC voltage of 30 V or more is potentially hazardous. Exercise caution when wiring or handling modules exposed to sunlight. Only connect modules with the same rated output current in series. If modules are connected in series, the total voltage is equal to the sum of the individual module voltages.
  • Page 10 BSTC for SOLID Bifacial: 1097 W/m , AM 1.5, and 25°C/77°F cell temperature). The short- circuit current (I ) should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 and the open-circuit voltage ) should be multiplied by a factor of up to 1.25 based on the lowest and highest ambient temperature recorded for the installation location when determining component voltage ratings, conductor current ratings, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to the PV output.

  • Page 11: Overcurrent Protection Device (Ocpd)

    Considering the values of I of SoliTek modules, the right value of the PV Fuses to be used at the installation is 20 A. SoliTek recommends using PV fuses in both the positive and negative conductors. 4.4 Cable & wiring SoliTek PV modules are provided with two standard, sunlight resistant output cables that are terminated with PV connectors ready for most installations.
  • Page 12  Minimum conductor cross-section – 4 mm² (12 AWG). SoliTek recommends installers use only sunlight resistant cables qualified for direct current (DC) wiring in PV systems. Cables should be fixed to the mounting structure in such a way that mechanical damage of the cable and/or the module is avoided. Do not apply stress to the cables.

  • Page 13: Grounding

    4.5 Grounding Functional grounding is not foreseen for SOLID modules. If it is performed, local electric codes and regulations must be observed and used grounding means have to be isolated from live parts by reinforced insulation. Safety grounding must be performed accordingly.
  • Page 14  Grounding bolt has to go through all the connecting elements. Figure 1. Grounding Method Devices listed and identified for grounding metallic frames of PV modules are permitted to ground the exposed metallic frames of the module to grounded mounting structures.

  • Page 15: Solid Bifacial And Agro Series Grounding

    4.5.2 SOLID Bifacial and AGRO series grounding Due to that SoliTek SOLID Bifacial and AGRO modules are frameless, no module grounding is required. Other PV plant equipment should be grounded according to the local and national electrical codes. 4.6 Connectors Connectors for SoliTek PV panels are MC4 compatible.

  • Page 16: Fire Class Rating

    5 Fire class rating SoliTek SOLID Bifacial and Blackstar modules have been approved by the IEC fire test and achieved Flammability Class A. Fire test was performed at the inclination of 127 mm (5 inch) per 300 mm (11,81 inch), as prescribed in the point A.2.5 of IEC 61730-2.

  • Page 17: Mounting With Clamps

    The modules must be safely set onto the mounting rail. The whole rail supporting the photovoltaic system must be strong enough to resist potential mechanical pressures caused either by wind or snow, in accordance with local, regional and state safety (and other associated) standards.

Torque on the clamp bolt has to be in range of 8÷10 Nm (5,9÷7,38 ft-lb). Transversal bars positioning is shown in Figure 3. If additional mounting points are required depending on the local wind and snow loads, then mounting solution with clamping hardware has to be chosen.
