• Danger! Do not stand or walk on modules • Never work on the system or module under load. Always turn off and disconnect the unless they are clean. Dirt and debris could inverter or other loads before working on damage the outer surface of the module the system.
• Sunflare wire baseplates and top caps whether or not the panel is connected. (Wire Management System) are required to maintain the fire rating of the modules.
System designers and installers are entering the j-box connectors. Failure to responsible for proper support structure protect the electrical connections could result design. Sunflare is not responsible for in electrical arcs leading to fire and possibly supporting structures, including but not shock hazards.
This could lead to mold and rot of the barrier board directly under the membrane as laminate and the roof membrane. Sunflare will specified in the roofing manufacturer’s listing. not take liability for degradation or failure of the...

Only HelioBond PVA 600BT by HB Fuller has been approved for use with Sunflare modules and wire baseplates. Do not use any other adhesive. Doing so could void your warranty and lead to product failures.
Electrical Installation Once the MLPE is connected to the pair of modules it is ready to be connected to the MLPE of the neighboring pair of modules as shown in Modules in Series Figure 6. The FLEX60-160W to FLEX60-185W modules are strung in pairs to match power ratings for typical MLPE devices.

FLEX60 Installation Supplement at the end of this document. Grounding Per its certification, the Sunflare FLEX60 module does not need to be grounded. It is double insulated and has no exposed metal components. Ensure you use only non-conductive polymeric wire management devices and components within the array.
Cleaning recommended that no more than 25 modules should be in series per string. As is the case with all Solar PV systems, Sunflare FLEX60 modules will require periodic cleaning to remove dust, soot, bird droppings, sap, pollen, or other deposits on your modules that could lessen their power production.
FLEX60 module. Set the effective wind area equal to one panel. Liability Limitation Sunflare is not in control of the installation of the module and hence does not accept responsibility or liability for damages arising from improper use, incorrect installation, operation, or maintenance of the product.

STEP 7 Position the baseplate in between the MC4 connectors on the modules. Press down applying even force to make sure the adhesive sticks well to the surface. STEP 8 To install the top cap, align one of the edges of the top cap with the slot on baseplate, then lay down the other side and press down until it snaps in place.
