Warning
Meaning of signs
Not Allowed No Disassembly No Touching
Procedures Must be Followed. Beware of Electric Shock
Do not disassemble Kaneka thin-film
silicon photovoltaic module(s) (hereinafter
referred to as the MODULE(S)), as this
may cause fire, electric shock, and injury.
Do not shock the MODULES (e.g. by
stepping on it), as this may break the glass
part and cause malfunction, electric shock
and injury.
Follow the procedure in this manual when
installing the MODULE and its platform.
Beware of electric shock and short-circuit, as
the MODULE generates high-tension current
when exposed to light.
Wear a safety belt, protection footwear, and
protection gloves when installing the
MODULE to prevent falling and electric
shock. (Install safety fence and scaffolding
to prevent falling.)
The platform, connection box, and the
inverter (power conditioner) must be
grounded based on the regulation about
grounding method.
Do not expose the MODULE to the
artificially concentrated sunlight.

(REMARK)
1. During initial 6 weeks of operation, the MODULE has higher electrical output than rated
output (See Performance at STC (stabilized)). The Pmax may be higher by 38% and Imp may
be higher by 19%.
2. The Electrical characteristics are within ±10% of the indicated values of Isc, Voc, and Pmax
under standard test conditions (irradiance of 100mW/cm2, AM1.5 spectrum, and a cell
temperature of 25°C (77°F)).

G-SA060-002
3. Specifications subject to change without notice.
4. Under normal conditions, the MODULES may experience conditions that produce more
current and/or voltage than reported at Standard Test Conditions. Accordingly, the values of Isc
and Voc marked on UL Listed MODULES should be multiplied by a factor of 125% when
determining component voltage ratings, conductor capacities, fuse sizes and size of controls
connected to the MODULE output. Refer to Article 690-8 of the National Electrical Code for
an additional multiply factor of 125% (80% derating), which may be applicable.
5. The type of over current protection is described as Series Fuse 7.0A, Bypass Diode 2.0A.

3.Installation of the MODULES
The assembly is to be mounted over a fire resistant roof covering rated for the
application.
5 in/ft (127mm/305mm) required to maintain UL fire class rating.
Artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on the MODULE.
See the Attachment A: Instruction for using G-type (UL grade).
(Remark for C-UL)
Installation shall be in accordance with CSA 22.1, Safety Standard for Electrical
Installations, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.
All mounting hardware shall be stainless steel
Method (1)
Fix the MODULES to rails with M6 bolts and nuts (4 pairs per module). The
platform of the MODULES should have sufficient strength.

G-SA060-002
Recommended mounting system for installation method 2 is “Solar Mount
/S-5! PV Clamp Sets” made by UniRac, Inc. Install the mounting system as
instructed by a installation manual of the mounting system. (Refer to installation
manual provided by UniRac.) Then, fix the MODULES with the cramps (4 pairs
or more per module). The cramps should be fixed to the side frames of
MODULES. Cramps A - B and C - D in the diagram below must be located
symmetrically. The distance between the center of the 2 cramps must be 660 –
950mm.
Optimize the tightness of the cramps with greatest care so that the MODULES
will not come off and so that the cramps will not break the frames of the
MODULES and/or glasses.
Handling Instruction to install a mounting system
*Do not shock the MODULES (e.g. by stepping on it), as this may break the glass
part and cause malfunction, electric shock and injury.
*Wear a safety belt, protection footwear, and protection gloves when installing
the MODULE to prevent falling and electric shock.
*Beware of electric shock and short-circuit, as the MODULE generates high-
tension current when exposed to light.

4.Connecting cables
Use 14 AWG minimum, insulated for 90℃minimum cables.
Stranded Copper only.
When connecting cables, push the plus and minus connectors against each
other while twisting them until they are fully engaged.
Plus cable connector: PV-KST3II UR (Multi-Contact USA)
Minus cable connector: PV-KBT3II UR (Multi-Contact USA)
Each PV has MC Connector system for photovoltaic, which is supplied from
Multi-Contact USA. You should use the same UL recognized connector as written
above.
The MODULES employ factory assembled Multi-Contact connectors for
interconnection between the MODULES during array assembly in the field. As
these connectors can only be assembled in the factory, we recommend the use of
commercially available output wiring products, such as (USE-MCUL-50 made by
O&S California, Inc.) so that the final array output wiring can be made to a
permanent wiring system in accordance withArticle 690-31 of the National
Electrical Code.
More than five (5) MODULES should not be connected in series. And each
string should have a blocking diode or a fuse, which is a 3A of capacity.
See the Attachment A: Instruction for using G-type (UL grade).
5.Ground-connecting
All the MODULES should be ground-connected with the ground holes
(marked ‘GR’) of the MODULES.
http://www.wholesalesolar.com/solar-panels.html

G-SA060-002
1. Press a stainless steel nut with a star washer and a 10-32 thread into the
ground holes (marked ‘GR’) on the back of frame.
2. Install a ground lug such as the shown ILSCO GBL-4DBT which is UL
listed. (User-Provided)
3. A screw shall be used to secure a ground lug as described in the illustration.
In this case, the screw threads are not providing the electrical ground contact.
However, the screw needs to provide sufficient torque to ensure that the lug
is mechanically secure.
4. Connect a minimum #10AWG solid conductor, copper, ground wire to the
ground lug.
You will use stainless steel hardware such as bolt, star washer, flat washer
and nut to complete the assembly.
Their specifications are as follows:
#10-32×1’stainless steel screw, star washer and nut(User-provided)
#10 to 1/4’DIA stainless steel bolt (User-provided)
6.Maintenance
Under the normal use maintenance is not necessary. The dirt on the surface of the
MODULES will be washed away by rain.
