unplugginganyconnectors;installanACisolatorinaccordancewithlocalcodes.



4.1EquipmentGrounding

ModulegroundingisrequiredasperIEC60364‐7‐712andwheredeemed

mandatorywithinthelocalregulatoryframework.Thepurposeofthemodule

groundingisbothforprotectionandfunctionalreasons.Thefunctionalaspectof

thisrequirementistoenabletheInverterorpowerconditioningdevicetoprovide

earthfaultdetectionandanyalarmindication.MaxeonSolarTechnologies

recommendsusingoneofthefollowingmethodsofgroundingthemoduleframe.

Inaddition,toavoidcorrosionduetodissimilarmetalinterfaces,MaxeonSolar

Technologiesrecommendsstainlesssteelhardwarebetweencopperand

aluminum.Testingshouldbedonetovalidategroundingwithtemperature,salt

environmentandhighcurrent.

1) Groundingusingspecifiedgroundingholes:Usethemountingframe

provisionedgroundingholesforconnectingthemoduletotherackingwith

asuitablysizedearthingconductor.



2) Groundingwithclamp/claw:Clamporclawcanbeinstalledbetweenthe

moduleandrackingsystem.Alignagroundingclamptotheframehole,and

placeagroundingboltthroughthegroundingclampandframe.Ensurethe

clampusedwhenisfastened,willeffectivelypiercetheanodizedcoatingof

themoduleandensuresuitableconductivity.



3) Modulesmaybegroundedbyattachingalay‐inlugtooneofthegrounding

holesonthemoduleframe,andattachthegroundconductortothelug.Use

stainlesssteelhardware(bolt,washers,andnut).Useanexternal‐toothstar

washerbetweenthelugandthemoduleframeinordertopiercethe

anodizingandestablishelectricalcontactwiththealuminumframe.The

assemblymustendwithanutthat’storquedto2.3‐2.8Nm(foraM4bolt).

Alockwasherorotherlockingmechanismisrequiredtomaintaintension

betweentheboltandtheassembly.Theconductormustbeattachedtothe

groundlugusingthelug’ssetscrew.

4) Modulesmaybegroundedusingagroundcliporgroundwasheroraspart

ofamoduleclamp.Thesegroundingclips/washersmustbeableto

effectivelypiercetheanodizedcoatingofthemoduleframeandestablish

suitableelectricalconductivity.

Allabovesolutionsarepossiblebutshouldbetestedwiththemountingstructure

forgroundingpurpose.

4.2ConnectiontoACCircuits

Itistheinstaller’sresponsibilitytoverifygridcompatibility(240/380or4‐wire2‐

pole).MaxeonSolarACmodulesmustbeconnectedtoautilitysourceatthe

correctvoltageandfrequencyinordertooperateandproducepower.Theyare

notstandalonegeneratorsanddonotcreateACvoltagethusarenotcapableof

operationindependentofautility‐generatedACsignal.TheACModulesmustbe

connectedonlytoadedicatedbranchcircuit.TheACcablesandconnectorsare

certifiedandratedforthemaximumnumberofACunitsinparallelonly.When

connectingmodules,DONOTexceedthefollowingsingleACbranchcircuit



5.2MountingConfigurations

Modulesmaybemountedat,appropriateorientationtomaximizesunlight

exposure.



Inordertopreventwaterfromenteringthejunctionbox(whichcouldpresenta

safetyhazard),modulesshouldbeorientedsuchthatthejunctionboxisinthe

uppermostpositionandshouldnotbemountedsuchthatthetopsurfacefaces

downward.Wealsowanttoremindthatthewatertightnessisnotensuredby

themodulesbutbythemountingsystemandthatdrainageshouldbewell

designedforACmodules.

Clearancebetweenthemoduleframesandstructureorgroundisrequiredto

preventwiringdamageandallowsairtocirculatebehindthemodule.The

recommendedassemblingclearancebetweeneachmoduleinstalledonany

mountingsystemisaminimumof5mmdistance.



Clearancebetweenthemoduleframeandroofsurfaceisrequiredtoprevent

wiringdamageandtoenableairtocirculatebehindthemodule.Thereforea

minimumof50mmisrequiredbetweenthemoduleframeandtheroofsurface.



Wheninstalledonaroof,themoduleshallbemountedaccordingtothelocaland

regionalbuildingandfiresafetyregulations.Incasethemoduleisinstalledina

roofintegratedPV‐System(BIPV),itshallbemountedoverawatertightandfire‐

resistantunderlaymentratedforsuchapplication

Modulesmountingsystemsshouldonlybeinstalledonbuildingthathavebeen

formallyconsideredforstructuralintegrityandconfirmedtobecapableof

handlingtheadditionalweightedloadoftheModulesandmountingsystems,by

acertifiedbuildingspecialistorengineer.



MaxeonSolarACmodulesareonlycertifiedforusewhentheirfactoryframes

arefullyintact.Donotremoveoralteranymoduleframe.Creatingadditional

mountingholesmaydamagethemoduleandreducethestrengthoftheframe.



Modulesmaybemountedusingthefollowingmethodsonly:

1) PressureClampsorClips:

Mountthemodulewith

theclipsattachedtothe

longersidesofthemodule.

Refertotheallowable

rangesinSection5.0(Table

1andTable2).Installers

mustensuretheclamps

areofsufficientstrengthto

allowforthemaximum

designpressureofthemodule.Clipsandclampsarenotprovidedby

MaxeonSolarTechnologies.Clampsthatsecuretothetopoftheframe

mustnotdeformthetopflange.Clampsmustapplyforcecollinearwiththe

‘wall’ofthemoduleframeandnotonlytothetopflange.Clampsshallnot

applyexcessiveforcetotheframe,warpthetopflange,orcontacttheglass

‐ thesepracticesvoidthemodulewarrantyandriskframeandglass

breakage.Figure1aillustrateslocationsfortopframeclampforce.Avoid

clampingwithin50mmofmodulecornerstoreduceriskofframecorner

deflectionandglassbreakage.Whenclampingtothemoduleframe,torque

shallneverexceed15N.mtoreducechancesofframedeformation.A

calibratedtorquewrenchmustbeused.Mountingsystemsshouldbe

evaluatedforcompatibilitybeforeinstallingspeciallywhenthesystemis

notusingClampsorclips.PleasecontactMaxeonSolarTechnologiesforthe

approvaloftheuseofnon‐standardpressureclampsorclipswheretorque

5.3HandlingofModulesduringInstallation



Neverliftormovethemodulesusingcablesorthejunctionboxunderany

circumstances.Donotplacemodulesfaceforwardindirectcontactwithabrasive

surfacessuchasroofs,driveways,woodenpallets,railings,orwallsetc.Thefront

surfaceofamoduleissensitivetooilsandabrasivesurfaces,whichmayleadto

scratchesandirregularsoiling.



ACModulesarefeaturedwithantireflectivecoatedglassandtheyareproneto

visiblefingerprintmarksiftouchedonthefrontglasssurface.MaxeonSolar

TechnologiesrecommendshandingACModuleswithgloves(noleathergloves)

orlimitingtouchingofthefrontsurface.Anyfingerprintmarksresultingfrom

installationwillnaturallydisappearovertimeorcanbereducedbyfollowingthe

washingguidelinesinSection6.0below.Anymodulecoverage(coloredplastic

tarpsorsimilar)duringinstallationcanleadtopermanentfrontglass

discolorationandisnotrecommended.Theuseofvacuumliftingpadscancause

permanentmarksonthefrontglass.

ShadingincidenceneedtobeavoidedduringPVsystemoperation.Thesystemis

notsupposedtobeenergizeduntilthemountingscaffoldingorrailinghavebeen

removedfromtheroof.



Systemsshouldbedisconnectedinanycasesofmaintenancewhichcancause

shading(e.g.chimneysweeping,anyroofmaintenance,antenna/dish

installations,etc.).



6.0Maintenance

MaxeonSolarTechnologiesrecommendsvisualinspectiononaregularbasisof

ACmodulesforsafeelectricalconnections,soundmechanicalconnection,and

freedomfromcorrosion.Thisvisualinspectionshouldbeperformedbytrained

personnel.Thestandardfrequencyisonceayearaccordingtoenvironmental

conditions.



PeriodiccleaningofACModulesisrecommended,butisnotrequired.Periodic

cleaninghasresultedinimprovedmoduleperformance,especiallyinregionswith

lowlevelsofannualprecipitation(lessthan46,3cm(18,25inches)).Consult

installersupplieraboutrecommendedcleaningschedulesforyourarea.Donot

cleanorspraymoduleswithwaterduringnormaloperation(moduleglasssurface

ishot).Tocleanamodule,sprayitwithpotable,non‐heatedwater.Normalwater

pressureismorethanadequate,butpressurizedwater100bar(min50cm

distance)maybeused.Fingerprints,stains,oraccumulationsofdirtonthefront

surfaceofthemodulemayberemovedasfollows:rinsetheareaandwait5

minutes.Re‐wettheareaandthenuseasoftspongeorseamlessclothtowipe

theglasssurfaceinacircularmotion.Fingerprintstypicallycanberemovedwith

asoftclothorspongeandwaterafterwetting.NEVERuseharshcleaning

materialssuchasscouringpowder,steelwool,scrapers,blades,orothersharp

instrumentsto



cleanmoduleglass.Useofsuchmaterialsonthemoduleswillvoid
