15.The minimum separaon between two Modules shall be more than 10 mm; when
installing on the roof, the recommended separaon between the Modules and the roof
surface is 100 mm to allow for air flow around the modules. When installing on ground
mounts keep ground clearances to more than 450 mm.
16. Grounding
1) Grounding method shall be consistent with the local standard and regulaons. Any
grounding system/method, which is designed in accordance with relevant internaonal and
local standards and regulaons, such as UL2703, UL467, IEC60335, NEC arcle 250 and
secon 690.V.43, etc. could be aached to the Modules.
2) In order to prevent electrochemical corrosion, materials in contact with module frames,
should be properly selected and galvanic isolaon provided where necessary
3) PID (Potenal Induced Degradaon) due to combined effects of high temperature, high
humidity and high voltage, is most likely to be observed in similar climates and mounng
surroundings such as India, Southeast Asia, floang designs. Except for equipment
grounding, negave system grounding is strongly recommended as the basic soluon for
PID phenomenon.
4) Grounding wire shall be the bare copper wire with simple surface treatment and no
insulaon sleeve. Wire cable with cross-seconal area of 4mm² (10~12 AWG) and ground
clamp (such as Tyco, idenficaon of product: 1954381-2）are recommended
(diagrammac sketches are as follows).
17. When the connecng wires of the Modules do not meet length requirements, a
correctly rated electrical cable that is designed and cerfied for long term outdoor use
along with the correct connectors can be used to extend the connecons. Match the same
brand and type of Module connectors to extend the connecon. The cross-seconal area
for PV array wire must be be no less than 4 mm², and the connecon system is IP 65 rated.
18. It is beer to use the Modules with same specificaons same colour when connected in
series.
19. Arficially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on the module.
20. Our modules have passed the salt mist and ammonia test (Please refer the test report
for detailed informaon) and can be installed in some corrosive environments, e.g. sea side.
21.The modules should not be installed at the place which is less than 100 meters from the
seashore. If the distance of the seashore and the project site is 100~1000 meters,
an-corrosion applicaon should be taken during the installaon and grounding processes.
7. Maintenance
1. Do not touch any live parts of the array wires, uninsulated cable and the connector. Use the
safety equipment when working on solar equipment (insulang tool, insulang gloves etc.).
2. An opaque cloth or other non-abrasive material can be used to cover the front of the
modules to eliminate sunlight exposure and reduce the chance of electrocuon during
maintenance when required.
3. Cleaning instrucons
Periodic cleaning is recommended for solar modules .The cleaning process should be done
by suitably trained professionals with the appropriate safety equipment and procedures in
place at all mes. When cleaning the module surface.
a) The following rules apply:
√ To reduce cold and hot shock clean panels at low irradiance me.
√ Only use so cloths or sponges to clean the glass surface.
√ Only use clean water as the cleaning solvent.
√ The difference between water temperature and module temperature should be in the
range of -5℃to +10℃.
√ Water pressure should be less than 1000 Pa.
b) following notes should be taken into account:
√ No other chemical should be used in cleaning process.
√ No aggressive tools or coarse cleaning materials are permied.
√ Do not step or walk on the Modules.
√ Do not strike Modules or subject Modules to impact with tools or objects
