Installation Safety Instructions Maintenance

Photovoltaic modules user manual

Please carefully read the following installation and safety instructions.

Non – compliance with these instructions may void the module warranty.

Purpose of this guide

This guide contains information regarding the installation and safe handling of SVL photovoltaic modules. All
instructions should be read and understood before attempting installation. If there are any questions, please contact us
for further information. The installer should confirm all safety precautions in the guide when installing modules. Before
installing a solar photovoltaic system, the installer should become familiar with the mechanical and electrical
requirements for photovoltaic systems. Keep this guide in a safe place for future reference.

GENERAL regulations. Obtain a building and/or electrical

 Installing solar photovoltaic systems requires
specialized skill and knowledge. The installer
assumes all risk of injury, including risk of
electric shock. Module installation should be
performed only by qualified persons.
 All modules come with a permanently attached
junction box and Module installation should be
performed only by qualified persons.
 All modules come with a permanently
2
attached
junction box and 4 mm wire terminated in
Multi Contact PV connectors.
 Each individual module can generate voltages
greater than 45 volts (V) when exposed to
direct sunlight. Contact with DC voltage of 35 V
or more is potentially hazardous. Exercise
cautions when wiring or handling modules
exposed to sunlight.
 When disconnecting wires connected to a
photovoltaic module that is exposed to
sunlight, an electric arc may occur. Arcs can
cause burns, start fires or otherwise create
safety problems. Exercise caution when
disconnecting wires on modules exposed to
sunlight.
 Photovoltaic solar modules convert light energy
to direct-current electrical energy, and are
designed for outdoor use. Proper design of
support structures is the responsibility of the
system designer and installer.
 Modules may be ground mounted, pole
mounted, or mounted on rooftops.
permit where required.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLING A SOLAR
PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM
 Solar modules produce electrical energy when
exposed to sunlight. DC voltages may exceed
45 V on a single exposed module.
 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.
 Only connect modules or series combinations of
modules with the same voltage in parallel. If
modules are connected in parallel, the total
current is equal to the sum of the individual
module currents.
 Keep children well away from the system while
transporting and installing mechanical and
electrical components.
 Completely cover all modules with an opaque
material during installation to prevent electricity
from being generated.
Do not wear metallic rings, watchbands, ear, nose
or lip rings or other metallic devices while
installing or troubleshooting photovoltaic systems.
Fire Class C.

Do not attempt to disassemble the module, and do

not remove any attached nameplates or
components. Doing so will void the warranty.

 Do not apply paint or adhesive to the module.

Do not use mirrors or other hardware to artificially

concentrate sunlight on the module.

 When installing modules, observe all applicable

local, regional and national codes and
 Page 29 of 36
IEC 61730-1
Clause Requirement + Test
Use appropriate safety equipment (Insulated tools,
insulating gloves, etc.) approved for use on
electrical installations.
 Observe the instructions and safety precautions
for all other components used in the system,
including wiring and cables, connectors, DC-
breakers, mounting hardware, inverters, etc.
 Use only equipments, connectors, wiring and
mounting hardware suitable for use in
photovoltaic system.
 Always use the same type of module within a
particular photovoltaic system.
 Under normal operating conditions, PV modules
will produce more currents and voltages that
are different than those listed in the data sheet.
Data sheet values are applicable at standard
test data.
 Short-circuit current and Open-circuit voltages
should be multiply by a factor of 1.25 when
determining component voltage ratings,
conductor capacity, fuse sizes and size of
controls connected to the module or system
output. Refer to Section 690-8 of the National
Electrical Code (NEC) for an additional
multiplying factor of 125 percent (80 percent
de-rating) which may be applicable.
General Installation notes
 Drainage holes must not be covered with the
part of the mounting system. The junction box
has a breather port which must be mounted
facing downward and may not be exposed to
the rain. The junction box should be on the
higher side of the module when it is mounted in
order to orient the breather port correctly.
 Do not lift the module by grasping the module’s
junction box or electrical leads.
 Do not stand, sit or lay on the module.
 Do not drop the module or allow objects to fall
on the module.
 Do not place any heavy object on the module.
 Inappropriate transport and installation may
damage the module glass or frame.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Selecting the location
 Select a suitable location for installation of the
module.
 For optimum performance, the module must be
facing true south in northern latitudes and true
north in southern latitudes.
 For detailed information on optimum module
orientation, refer to standard solar photovoltaic
installation guide or a reputable solar installer
or system integrator.
 The module should not be shaded at any time of
the day.
Do not install the module near equipment or in
location where flammable gases can be generated
or collected.Selecting the proper mounting
structure and hardware
Result - Remark Verdict
 Observe all instructions and safety precautions
including with the mounting system to be used
with the module.
 Do not drill holes in the glass surface of the
module. Doing so will void the warranty.
 Do not drill additional holes in the module frame.
Doing so will void the warranty.
 Modules must be securely attached to the
mounting surface using four mounting holes
for normal installation. If heavy wind or snow
loads are anticipated, additional mounting
points should also be used. Please see the
drawing below.
 The design load for individual module is 30
lb/ft2. Site Load calculations are the
responsibility of the system designer or
installer.
 The module must be attached to a support rail
using M6 Type stainless steel bolt, double
washer and nut. Torque 8 N-m. The
recommended stand off height is 6 in.
 The mounting structure and hardware must be
made of durable, corrosion, and UV-resistant
material.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Grounding
 All module frames must be properly grounded.
 Grounding is achieved through securement to
the array frame. The array frame shall be
grounded in accordance with NEC Article 250.
Also observe all local electric codes and
regulations.
 A bonding or toothed washer is required to
make proper and reliable electrical grounding
connection with the anodized aluminum frame.
 Devices listed and identified for grounding
metallic frames of PV modules are permitted to
ground the exposed metallic frames on the
module to grounded mounting structure. Per
NEC 250.136, electrical equipment secured to
and in electrical contact with a metal rack or
structure provided for its support and grounded
by one of the means indicated in NEC 250.134
shall be considered effectively grounded.
 Consider using a lay-in lug, rated for outdoor
use (IIIso GBL4 DBT or equivalent), the
module grounding conductor is to be larger
than # 10 AWG.
 When using lay-in lugs, the grounding conductor
should be inserted into the opening indicated in
the figure, and secured using the set screw.
General electrical installation
 Do not use modules of different configurations in
the same system.
 This module is supplied with Multi Contact
connectors for electrical connections.
 Refer to Section 690.31 of the NEC to determine
appropriate types and temperature ratings of
conductors. Wiring 2 should have a cross
section area of 4 mm (minimum) and must be
temperature rated at 90°C (minimum).
 Completely cover system module with an
opaque material to prevent electricity from
being generated while disconnecting
conductors.
