1. INTRODUCTION
Ningbo Ulica Solar Co.,Ltd is a leading manufacturer of PV cells and modules, delivering
reliability and competitive pricing on a global scale. We provide world-class PV technology,
streamlined manufacturing, and local customer support.
We are committed to providing technical and installation support for our worldwide
customers,.
This Installation Guide covers installation of the following Ulica modules
2. Applicable Module
UL-440M-108ADGN, UL-575M-144ADGN, UL-580M-144ADGN, UL-440M-108BDGN,
UL-445M-108BDGN, UL-450M-108BDGN, UL-455M-108BDGN, UL-700M-132DGN
3. Mechanical Installation
3.1 Select a suitable location for installing the modules.
3.1.1 The modules should face south in northern latitudes and north in southern latitudes.
3.1.2 For detailed information on the best installation angle, refer to standard solar
photovoltaic installation guides or consult a reputable solar installer or systems
integrator.
3.1.3 Modules should not be shaded at any time. If a module is shaded or even partially
shaded, it will fail to perform at ideal conditions and result in lower power output.
3.1.4 In general, we do not recommend to installing the PV system with a distance of less
than 500 meters close to the coastline. If you plan to do so, please contact Ulica's
Global Customer Service Department and/or refer to the Near-coast Installation
Guide for Ulica Photovoltaic Module.
3.1.5 Do not use modules near equipment or in locations where flammable gases may be
generated or collected.
3.1.6 In general, we do not recommend to installing the PV panel with a tilt angle less than
10 degree. In that case, the PV's generation will difficult to guarantee.
3.1.7 The modules should fixed 15cm from ground or roof .
3.2 Mounting and Notes
3.2.1 Systems should be installed by qualified professionals only. The process involves
electricity and can be dangerous if the installing personnel are not familiar with the
appropriate safety procedures.
3.2.2 The modules are qualified for application class A: Hazardous voltage (IEC 61730:
higher than 50V DC; EN 61730: higher than 120V), hazardous power applications
(higher than 240W) where general contact access is anticipated (Modules qualified
for safety through EN IEC 61730-1 and -2 within this application class are considered
to meet the requirements for Safety Class II)"
3.2.3 Do not use modules of different configurations in the same system. When the
