1. Introduction Specialist dealers and installation engineers should read through these instructions carefully prior to the installation, maintenance and operation of our WINAICO WSP and WST series. Carefully adhering to the instructions will ensure that the photovoltaic system delivers the maximum yield during operation on a long‐ term basis. Failure to observe these instructions can lead to personal injury and damage to property. WINAICO only sells its high‐quality modules to specialist companies and installation engineers through direct sales. ...

After switching off the inverter, before beginning any further work it is essential to wait for the time interval specified by the manufacturer so that the high‐voltage components can discharge. Be sure to carefully follow the inverter manufacturer’s installation instructions! WINAICO modules are qualified for application class A. Hazardous voltages (IEC 61730: higher than 50V DC; EN61730: higher than 120V DC), hazardous power applications (higher than 240W) where general unrestricted access is anticipated. Modules qualified for safety through EN IEC 61730‐1 and 61730‐2 within this application class are considered to meet the requirements for Safety Class II). ATTENTION: Danger of death from electric arcs Modules generate direct current (DC) when exposed to light irradiation and a deadly electric arc can result ...
1.25. The highest rating value for the overcurrent protection (reverse‐current strength) is 15 A. 4. Transport and storage Check the shipment immediately upon delivery to ensure completeness and integrity. Note any damage on the driver’s consignment note and inform WINAICO in writing immediately. The utmost care is required when handling the modules. Take care when unpacking, transporting and storing them. Store the modules safely in cool and dry rooms. The packaging is not weatherproof! Leave modules in their packaging until they are to be installed. ...
When mounting the modules it is essential to ensure that the water drain openings at the corners of the modules are not covered in order to avoid damage from frost. The solar installation should be mounted such that as little snow as possible can remain on the modules. Solar modules from WINAICO are certified for snow loads of up to 5400 PA.

6. Mounting and installation ATTENTION: Risk of fire if module components are damaged! Only install undamaged solar modules. Before the installation ensure that the connection socket, cable and connector are undamaged. Never open the connection socket. Safety precautions Store the modules safely in cool and dry rooms. The packaging is not weatherproof! Incorporate the installation in the existing lightning protection system in line with local requirements. WINAICO recommends only mounting and installing the system in dry weather. Observe the relevant accident prevention regulations. Do not carry out installation work in high winds. Secure yourself and other persons against falling. Prevent the possibility of falling objects. Secure the work area so that no other persons can be injured. Keep children away from the installation site. All parts of the module should be protected from mechanical loading (e.g. caused by pressure, tension, torsional stress) during transport and installation. Ensure that the radius doesn't fall below the minimum permissible bend radius of 60 mm for cables at the connection socket output either during installation or system operation. Fire protection The installation of on‐roof systems can affect the fire safety of a building; improper installations can result in a hazard in case of fire. In the case of on‐roof applications, the WINAICO modules must be mounted above a fire‐...

6.1 Mechanical module mounting WINAICO modules are suitable for both vertical and horizontal installation due to their high degree of stability, in particular that of the frame. The modules must be clamped in place at a minimum of 4 points. The frame has only been stress tested for fastening by the long sides. Therefore always clamp the modules on the long sides only. The modules must always be installed with the connection socket pointing upward, such that the connection socket is located on the rear side of the module in the upper section. Figure: Clamping on the short sides is not permitted Figure: Reverse installation with connection socket pointing downward is not permissible Figure: Observe specified clamping range! The modules can be mounted to the substructure by clamping in place from the front or screwing on from ...

Maximum mechanical load Ensure that the maximum mechanical load is not exceeded, in particular while also taking into account the site‐ dependent loads (e.g. wind and snow). Please note that the module can bend under heavy loads. Do not use cable ties, fastening elements etc. between the rear side of the module and the cross profiles because pointed or uneven structures can damage the module. Note The middle clamps can be used as spacers between the module rows when mounting the modules. To avoid any possible stresses and failure to comply with dimensions, a gap should be maintained between the module rows. We recommend a gap of approximately 2 cm. For aesthetic reasons we recommend using black clamps for mounting our module series with black anodised frame and black film. Laying the cables To avoid conductor loops, the strings (+ and –) should be laid together. The cable groove on the cross profile can be used here. If possible roof penetration should only be at one point. WINAICO is a trademark of Win Win Precision Technology Co., Ltd. www.winaico.com...
The installation of additional diodes or fuses is necessary with the parallel connection of module strings because the internal protection measures adapted to module performance (e.g. bypass diodes) are not able to adequately regulate the current flow in a parallel circuit in the event of the shading of individual module strings. A failure to observe this may result in the corresponding solar modules (including the electronic components contained within them) being damaged. WINAICO fundamentally recommends the installation of string fuses (DC!) with both series and parallel type connections, in order to protect the solar modules in the event of a malfunction (e.g. an inverter defect). The fuses must be configured according to the maximum quiescent current (IR), which is quoted in the data sheets pertaining to the respective modules.

The earthing point is marked on the module frame. For earthing purposes, an M4 screw is prescribed. Also observe the national standards. 7. Cleaning / maintenance As the operator, you should regularly remove dirt from the modules. The following points should be noted: Never stand on the module surface. Do not exert any mechanical loads on the modules. Do not clean with water if there is a risk of frost or major differences in temperature between the module, water and air. We recommend decalcifying hard water. This will prevent lasting water stains. Remove standing water from the module. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or tensides. Do not scrape off dirt as this may damage the surface of the module. ATTENTION: Please make sure that the earth connection is not interrupted or damaged!
