Keep this guide in a safe place for future reference. Non-compliance with this installation instruction may result in property damage and/or physical injury. AXITEC ENERGY GMBH & CO. KG will not be liable for compensation of any loss or injury caused by this type of non-compliance.
Installation and Operating Guide 3 General information 3.1 Product Identification Each module has four labels 1x name plate: Describes product type, nominal power, nominal current, nominal voltage, no-load voltage, short- circuit current (measured under standard test conditions (STC), the measurement tolerance is +/- 3%), weight, dimensions, etc.
If the modules are not operated properly, the warranty can become void or at least significantly limited. Further information about modules from AXITEC can be found in the datasheets for the modules. The datasheets are available via the Internet at www.axitecsolar.com.
It is forbidden to make changes or repairs to the solar module ( e.g. additional drilling in the module frame, removal of the type plate)! To ensure sufficient ventilation, a distance of at least 10 cm must be maintained between the underside of the frame and the roof. Smaller distance only after consultation with AXITEC. AUS240729...
4.2 Site selection Marine and mobile applications are generally excluded. Floating installations only after consultation with AXITEC. If the modules are assembled near the sea, a minimum distance of 500 m to the coastline must be ensured. Solar modules may not be installed above 2,000 m above sea level.
Installation and Operating Guide 4.3 Alignment If possible, all modules should be aligned in the same way. The solar modules are suitable for installation both with their long side up and their short side up. (see 5. Mechanical installation). The modules are to be mounted in such a way that melt- and rainwater can run off freely and that the module will not be constantly wet.
Installation and Operating Guide Mechanical installation The modules must be mounted with a minimum distance of 5 mm to the next module. Struts, mounting clamps, screws and other fixing elements must be commercially available and corrosion-free. In particular, the fixing elements must be designed in accordance with the local wind and snow loads.

Installation and Operating Guide 5.2 Mounting using the mounting holes Instead of mounting clamps, the modules can also be attached to the substructure using the mounting holes located in the frame (long module side). The mounting screws must be alternately fastened to the struts at at least four points.
Installation and Operating Guide 6 Electrical installation The electrical connection of the individual solar modules to each other and the connection to the inverter must be made using the connectors of the same type pre-mounted on the solar modules. The cables must not be used as carrying aids or bent and must not be installed under tensile stress. Only use special solar cables and suitable connectors that comply with the local specifications at the installation site.

Installation and Operating Guide To determine the maximum possible number of modules per string, the open-circuit voltage at the lowest temperature must be considered [ 1 + × ( − 25 )] ≥ × , ,...
Partial shading should nevertheless be avoided. Note that the bypass diode is not the overcurrent protection device. If the diode is defective, the installer or system maintenance supplier must contact Axitec. Please do not attempt to open the module junction box yourself.
These installation and assembly instructions apply to generally common systems. All specifications are provided without warranty. AXITEC Energy GmbH & Co. KG does not guarantee the modules' fitness for use or function in case of any deviation from the notes contained in this user information. Because the adherence to this user information and the conditions and methods of the installation, the operation, the use and the maintenance of the modules cannot be controlled or monitored by AXITEC Energy GmbH &...
