SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General Safety
• Modules falling under this application class can be used in
systems with voltage higher than 50V DC or 240 W, where
general access by touch is expected.
• The ambient temperature in which PV modules operate is
between -40 °C and 40 °C with relative humidity less
than 85%, while their operating temperature is between
-40 °C and 85°C.
• It is recommended to install PV modules at an altitude of
less than 2000m.
• The installation of photovoltaic solar systems requires
special skills and knowledge. Installation must be done by
authorized and trained personnel only.
• Installers must assume all risks of injury that may occur
during installation, including but not limited to the risk
of electrocution.
• A single module can generate more than 30V DC when
exposed to direct sunlight. Contact with a DC voltage is
potentially dangerous and should always be avoided.
• Do not disconnect modules or other electrical parts
under load.
• PV modules generate electricity when exposed to sunlight.
Multiple modules strung together can cause fatal electric
shock and burns. Only authorized and trained personnel
should have access to the modules.
• The modules convert light energy into DC electrical energy.
They are designed for outdoor use. The modules can be
mounted on the ground or on roofs. System designers and
installers are responsible for proper design of support
structures.
• Comply with all local, state, and national codes when
installing the system. Obtain a building permit if necessary.
• Electrical characteristics are within ±3% of the specied
values for Isc, Voc, and Pmax under standard test
conditions (irradiance of 1000 W/m², AM 1.5 spectrum,
and a cell temperature of 25°C).
• Use only equipment, connectors, cables and racks suitable
for solar systems. Do not use mirrors, magnifying glasses or
articially concentrated sunlight on the modules.
• Always use fall protection when working at a height of
180 cm or more. Follow the legal safety regulations for fall
protection.
• Do not sit, stand, step or walk on any side of the module,
including the frames.
• Ensure that no part of the module(s) is submerged or in
constant contact with water, except for natural
precipitation or regular cleaning.
• Do not allow the rear panel of the module to be
constantly dewed.
Safety during handling
• Do not lift the module by the junction box or
electrical wires.
• Do not place heavy or sharp objects on the module.
• Be careful when placing the module on a surface,
especially when placing it in a corner. Improper
transportation and installation may damage the module
and void the warranty.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the modules and do not
remove any attached nameplates or components from
the modules.
• Do not apply paint or adhesive to the top or back panel of
the module.
• To prevent damage to the back panel and cells, do not
scratch, dent, or hit the back panel. Do not apply direct
pressure to the backsheet or front glass during transport.
• Do not drill holes in the frame. This may affect the strength
of the frame, cause corrosion of the frame, and void
the warranty.
• Do not scratch the anodized layer of the frame (except for
the grounding terminals on the grounding connector on
the back of the module). This may cause corrosion of the
frame or affect the strength of the frame.
• A module with broken glass or torn backsheet cannot be
repaired and must not be used because contact with a
module surface or the frame can cause electric shock.
• Work only under dry conditions and use only dry tools.
Do not handle wet modules unless you are wearing
appropriate protective equipment.
• When storing uninstalled modules outdoors for extended
periods of time, always cover them and make sure the
glass is facing down on a soft, at surface to prevent water
from collecting inside the module and damaging
exposed connections.

Safety during installation
• Never disconnect electrical connections or unplug
connectors while the circuit is under load.
• Contact with electrically active parts of the modules,
such as terminals, can cause burns, sparks, and fatal
shocks, whether the module is connected or not.
• Do not touch the PV module unnecessarily during
installation. The glass surface and frame may be hot;
there is a risk of burns and electric shocks.
• Do not work in the rain, snow or wind.
• Avoid exposing cables and connectors to direct sunlight
and scratches or cuts to prevent insulation deterioration.
• Use only insulated tools approved for work on
electrical equipment.
• Keep children away from the system during transport and
installation of mechanical and electrical components.
• Cover the module completely with an opaque material
during installation to prevent electricity from
being generated.
• Do not wear metallic rings, bracelets, earrings, nose rings,
lip rings or other metallic objects during installation or
troubleshooting of photovoltaic systems.
• Follow safety regulations (e.g., safety regulations for work
on electrical power plants) for your region and for all other
system components, including wires and cables,
connectors, charge controllers, inverters, batteries,
accumulators, etc.
• Under normal conditions, it is likely that a photovoltaic
module will be exposed to conditions that produce a
higher current and/or voltage than specied in the
standard test conditions. Accordingly, the Isc and Voc
values specied on this module should be multiplied by a
factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage values,
conductor current values, minimum fuse size factor, and
the size of controls connected to the PV output.
• Use only the same connectors to connect modules into a
string or to connect to another device. Removing the
connectors will void the warranty.
Fire Safety
• Check with your local authority for guidelines and
requirements for structural re safety.
• Roof structures and installations can affect the re safety
of a building. Improper installation can lead to hazards in
the event of a re.
• Use components such as ground fault circuit interrupters
and fuses as required by local authorities. Do not use
modules near equipment or in locations where ammable
gases may be generated.
• Modules rated for module re protection type must be
installed on a roof that has appropriate re resistance.
Before installing on the roof, contact your local building
authority to ensure that the roong materials are approved.
• A minimum slope of 12.5 cm per 30 cm is required for
installation on a roof to maintain the re rating. Each
module or panel mounting system has limitations on the
slope required to receive a specic system re rating.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Selection of the location
• Select a suitable location for installing the modules.
• Modules should face south at northern latitudes and north
at southern latitudes.
• For detailed information on the best installation angle,
refer to standard photovoltaic installation manuals or
consult a reputable solar installer or system integrator.
• Modules should not be shaded at any time. If a module is
shaded or even partially shaded, it will not reach ideal
conditions, resulting in lower power output. Permanent
and/or regular shading of the module will void
the warranty.
• This installation manual applies to all PV systems located
500m or more from the coast.
• Do not use the modules near equipment or in locations
where ammable gases may be generated or collected.
Before installation
• Check for visual discrepancies before installing the
modules. Any visual discrepancy found after the system is
installed may void the warranty. Any labor, material or
other costs, such as for documentation, safety or the
performance of the (de-/ re)installation, will not be covered.
• The mounting structure of the module must be made of
durable, corrosion and UV resistant material.
• Always use a tested and certied mounting structure that
is approved for your system design.
• In regions with heavy snowfall in winter, adjust the height
of the mounting system so that the bottom edge of the
module is not covered by snow. Also, ensure that the
bottom of the module is not shaded by plants or trees or
damaged by soil moving through the air.
• For ground mounting systems, a minimum distance from
the ground to the bottom edge of the module of 60 cm is
recommended.
• Modules must be securely fastened to the mounting
structure. For clamp system installation methods, the
recommended maximum compressive force for each
clamp is 2900PSI (20 MPa) to avoid possible damage to the
module frames. Follow the clamping system
manufacturer‘s instructions.
• Ensure adequate ventilation under the modules according
to local regulations. A minimum distance of 10 cm between
the roof level and the module frame is generally
recommended.
• Always follow the instructions and safety precautions
included in the module support frames.
• Always make sure that the roof structure is suitable before
installing modules on a roof. In addition, all roof
penetrations required to mount the module must be
properly sealed to prevent leaks.
• Dust that accumulates on the surface of the module can
affect the performance of the module. Modules should be
installed with a tilt angle of at least 10 degrees so that dust
can be more easily removed by rain. If the angle is shallow,
more frequent cleaning is required.

Status: 08/2023
• Note and take into account the linear thermal expansion of
the module frames (the recommended minimum distance
between two modules is 2cm).
• Always keep the front and back of the module free of
foreign objects, plants and vegetation, and structural
elements that could come into contact with the module,
especially if the module is mechanically loaded.
• If installing a module on a pole, select a pole and module
mounting structure that is robust enough to withstand the
expected wind and snow loads in the area.
• Ensure that the modules are not subjected to wind or snow
loads that exceed the maximum allowable values, and that
they are not subjected to excessive forces due to thermal
expansion of the support structures. Ensure that the
modules do not overlap or exceed the roof: Refer to the
following installation methods for more information.
Mounting
• Select an appropriate installation method based on the
required load (see below for more information).
• All installation methods listed here are for reference only
and the manufacturer does not supply appropriate
mounting components. The system installer or trained
professional must be responsible for the design,
installation, mechanical load calculation and safety of the
system.
• In any installation, modules may be installed in either
portrait or landscape orientation.
* Do not allow the module clamps to contact the front glass
or deform the frame in any way. Avoid shading effects from
clamps or insertion systems. Drainage openings in the mo-
dule frame must not be closed or covered by the clamps
• Beachten Sie stets die Anweisungen und
Sicherheitsvorkehrungen, die in den Modulträgerrahmen
enthalten sind.
• Vergewissern Sie sich vor der Installation von Modulen auf
einem Dach immer, dass die Dachkonstruktion geeignet
ist. Darüber hinaus müssen alle Dachdurchdringungen,
die für die Montage des Moduls erforderlich sind,
ordnungsgemäß abgedichtet werden, um Undichtigkeiten
zu vermeiden.
• Staub, der sich auf der Oberäche des Moduls ansammelt,
kann die Leistung des Moduls beeinträchtigen. Die Module
sollten mit einem Neigungswinkel von mindestens 10 Grad
installiert werden, damit der Staub leichter durch Regen
entfernt werden kann. Bei einem achen Winkel ist eine
häugere Reinigung erforderlich.
• Beachten und berücksichtigen Sie die lineare
Wärmeausdehnung der Modulrahmen (der empfohlene
Mindestabstand zwischen zwei Modulen beträgt 2 cm).
• Halten Sie die Vorder- und Rückseite des Moduls stets frei
von Fremdkörpern, Panzen und Vegetation sowie
Bauelementen, die mit dem Modul in Berührung kommen
könnten, insbesondere wenn das Modul mechanisch
belastet ist.
• Wenn Sie ein Modul auf einem Mast installieren, wählen Sie
einen Mast und eine Modulmontagekonstruktion, die
robust genug ist, um der zu erwartenden Wind- und
Schneelast in dem Gebiet standzuhalten.
• Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Module keiner Wind- oder
Schneelast ausgesetzt sind, die die maximal zulässigen
Werte übersteigt, und dass sie keinen übermäßigen
Kräften aufgrund der thermischen Ausdehnung der
Tragstrukturen ausgesetzt sind. Achten Sie darauf, dass
die Module das Dach nicht überlappen oder überschreiten:

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
General electrical connection
• All hardware used must be compatible with all other
materials used to prevent galvanic corrosion. Defects
caused by corrosion will void the warranty.
• It is not recommended to use modules with different
congurations (grounding, wiring) in the same system.
• Excess cables must be tidied or xed in a suitable way, e.g.
with non-metallic cable ties to the mounting structure.
Solar cables, connectors and junction boxes should not
be exposed to water, snow, rain or submersion for
extended periods (IP65/67/68).
• For applications requiring a high operating voltage, several
modules can be connected in series to form a module
string. The system voltage is then equal to the sum of the
voltage of the individual modules.
• For applications requiring high operating currents, several
module strings can be connected in parallel. The system
current is then equal to the sum of the currents of the
individual module strings.
• Depending on the product family, the maximum system
voltage is 600 volts, 1000 volts or 1500 volts DC according
to the standards. The maximum number of modules
connected in series depends on the system design, the
type of inverter used and the environmental conditions.
• Ensure that the PV solar modules are equipped with the
appropriate string fuse to protect the circuit. This depends
on the maximum series fuse rating of the module and local
electrical codes.
• There is no specic limit to the number of modules that
can be connected in parallel, the number of modules is
determined by the system design parameters such as
current or power.
• To avoid overheating of the cables and the connectors,
the cross-section of the cables and the capacity of the
connectors must be selected according to the maximum
short-circuit current of the installation. PV wire with a
cross-section of at least 4mm² is recommended
as the cable.
• Caution: Do not fasten the cables too tightly. Cable damage
caused by the cable management system is not covered by
the manufacturer‘s warranty.
• Always observe the bending radius of the cable
manufacturer, which also includes the radius directly
behind the connectors.
• The PV modules are supplied with connectors for the
electrical connection of the system.
• To ensure a reliable electrical connection and prevent
possible moisture ingress, two connectors must be
plugged together and locked until a click is heard.
• Prolonged exposure of the connectors to humid
environments may result in poor connectivity, which in
turn will cause leakage currents and poor conductivity,
voiding the warranty. It is recommended to use proper
connector/cable/cord management to prevent moisture
ingress. Depending on the moisture content, it is
recommended to perform periodic inspections of the
installation system to maintain optimal performance of
the modules.
• Direct current generated by photovoltaic systems can be
converted to alternating current and fed into a public
power grid. Local utility guidelines for connecting
renewable energy systems to the power grid vary from
region to region. Always consult a qualied system
designer or integrator for advice. Building permits,
inspections and approvals are usually required by the
local utility.
• It is recommended that lightning protection be installed
in accordance with local requirements and codes,
especially for larger systems.
• Upon completion of the installation and after connection
to the electrical grid, a professional handover to the owner
with an installation report is required. Provide the owner
with clear documentation of the system that includes the
following minimum data: User Manual, system layout, data
sheets, performance expectations, electrical system data,
a copy of the installation test report.

Electrical properties
• Module under standard test conditions: Irradiance of
1000W/m², cell temperature of 25°C and air mass of AM 1.5.
• Normally, a module is likely to generate more current
and/or voltage than specied under standard test
conditions. Accordingly, the values for Isc and Voc specied
on this module should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25
when determining the rated voltage of the components,
the current rating of the conductors, the size of the fuses,
and the size of the controls connected to the PV output.
• The voltages add up if the modules are connected in series,
and the currents add up if the modules are connected in
parallel.
• Modules with different electrical characteristics must not
be connected directly in series.
Series connection and parallel connection
• The maximum number of modules that can be connected
in series in a string must be calculated in accordance
with applicable regulations so that the specied maximum
system voltage of the modules and all other DC electrical
components is not exceeded during no-load operation at
the lowest temperature expected at the PV system site.
• Recommended maximum series conguration: system
voltage / (1.25 * Voc).
• Recommended maximum parallel conguration:
Overcurrent withstand / (Isc + 1)

Grounding
• Refer to regional and national safety and electrical
standards for grounding and connection requirements.
If grounding is required, use a recommended type of plug
for the grounding cable.
• These instructions refer to grounding the module frame.
If grounding is required, ensure that the module frames
(touchable metal) are always grounded.
• Follow the standards and regulations for grounding
PV modules.
• It is recommended to use negative grounding if allowed.
• When attaching grounding elements and wires to the
frame, they must be attached according to the location
marked with the grounding symbol to ensure proper
electrical connection.
• Grounding screw:
1. Use an M5 bolt and washer to connect the ground
wire and aluminum frame through the ground
hole (as shown below). The tightening torque is
3-7 Nm. All nuts and washers should be made
of stainless steel. Exposed copper wire of 4-14 mm²
(AWG 6-12) is recommended as the ground wire.
2. To connect solar modules to module brackets.
3. Use Schletter clamps to connect solar modules to
module brackets.
Maintenance
To ensure optimal module performance, Amso solar
recommends the following maintenance procedures:
• Clean the module at least once a year or more often
depending on the degree of contamination.
• Remove all organic contaminants from the surface.
Modules with dirt or contamination can reduce the power
generation of the system.
• Always use clean water and a soft, non-abrasive sponge
or cloth for cleaning. A mild, non-abrasive detergent may
be used to remove stubborn dirt.
• Uncontrolled soiling or failure to clean the modules in
a timely manner will void the warranty. Inspect electrical,
grounded and mechanical connections every six months
to ensure they are clean, safe, undamaged and free of
corrosion. Failure to do so may void the warranty.
• In the event of a ground fault, never wash or spray the
modules with water until the ground fault has been
identied and repaired by an authorized solar inverter
service technician and the inverter is fully operational.
This may result in electric shock or a serious safety
problem.
• Contact a professional solar service provider for
suggestions if problems arise.
• Caution: Follow the solar manufacturer‘s maintenance
instructions for all components used in the system, such
as racks, charge controllers, inverters, batteries, etc.
Disposal instructions
According to the European WEEE Directive, electrical and
electronic devices must not be disposed of with household
waste. Their components must be recycled or disposed of
separately, because toxic and hazardous components can
cause lasting damage to health and the environment if dis-
posed of improperly. As a consumer, you are obliged under
the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) to re-
turn electrical and electronic equipment free of charge at the
end of its service life to the manufacturer, the point of sale or
