4. SITE SELECTION
In most applications, th PV modul s should b install d in a
location wh r th r is no shading throughout th y ar. In th
North rn H misph r , th PV modul s should typically fac
south, and in th South rn H misph r , th PV modul s should
typically fac north.
Pl as mak sur that th r ar no obstructions in th
surroundings of th sit of installation. TAKE PROPER STEPS
in ord r to maintain r liability and saf ty, in cas th PV
modul s ar us d in ar as such as: H avy snow ar as /
Extr m ly cold ar as / Strong wind ar as / Installations ov r, or
n ar, wat r / Ar as wh r installations ar pron to salt wat r
damag /corrosiv gas nvironm nt/ Small islands or d s rt
ar as.
Th r sults of th ammonia t st and th salt-mist-corrosion t st
on th PV modul s, carri d out und r such strict t st conditions,
should b disclos d for r f r nc purpos s only. Th d cision
on wh th r th PV modul s ar suitabl and compatibl for
ach installation fi ld will d p nd on th us r’s judg m nt and
r sponsibility.
5. TILT ANGLE
Th tilt angl is th m asur m nt b tw n th PV modul and
a horizontal ground surfac . Th PV modul g n rat s th
maximum output pow r wh n it fac s th sun dir ctly.
5 d gr s or mor is r comm nd d for th tilt angl of th PV
modul for th maint nanc (S 9. Maint nanc ).
For th standalon syst ms with a batt ry wh r th PV
modul s ar attach d to a p rman nt structur , th tilt angl of
th PV modul s should b d t rmin d to optimiz th
p rformanc wh n th sunlight is th scarc st. In g n ral, if th
l ctric pow r g n ration is ad quat wh n th sunlight is th
scarc st, th n th angl chos n should b ad quat during th
r st of th y ar. For grid-conn ct d installations wh r th PV
modul s ar attach d to a p rman nt structur , it is
r comm nd d to tilt th PV modul at th angl qual to th
latitud of th installation sit so that th pow r g n ration from
th PV modul will b optimum throughout th y ar.
6. WIRING
To nsur prop r syst m op ration and to maintain your
guaranty, obs rv th corr ct cabl conn ction polarity (Figur s
1 & 2) wh n conn cting th PV modul s to a batt ry or to oth r
PV modul s. If not conn ct d corr ctly, th bypass diod s could
b d stroy d.
PV modul s can b wir d in s ri s to incr as voltag . Conn ct
wir s from th positiv t rminal of on PV modul to th
n gativ t rminal of th n xt PV modul . Figur 1 shows PV
modul s conn ct d in s ri s.
Conn ct PV modul s in parall l to incr as curr nt. Conn ct
wir s from th positiv t rminal of on PV modul to th positiv
t rminal on th n xt PV modul . Figur 2 shows PV modul s
conn ct d in parall l.
7. GROUNDING
Th fram grounding must consid r th local r quir m nt and
r gulation at th installation sit . Wh n grounding is r quir d,
pl as r f r to b low xampl conn ction (Figur 3). Pl as
b car ful in arranging th syst m ground so that th r moval
of on PV modul from th circuit will not int rrupt th grounding
of any oth r PV modul s.
Th PV modul s should b ground d to th sam l ctrical
point as d scrib d b low.
You can us a hol with th appropriat symbol for quipot ntial
bonding on th sid fram for ith r a bolt, nut and wash r
grounding th PV modul to th fram , a ground lug fast n d
by bolt or scr w, or appropriat scr w (hardwar not provid d).
An xampl of acc ptabl ground conn ction using a bolt, nut
and wash r r taining a ground lug is shown in Figur 3. In a
conn ction of this typ , th hardwar (such as a tooth d lock d
wash r / star wash r) must scor th fram surfac to mak
l ctrical contact with th fram . Th ground wir must b
consid r d within th local r quir m nt of local and r gulation
at th sit of installation.
8. MOUNTING
Pl as mak sur that all th information d scrib d in th
INSTALLATION MANUAL is still valid and prop r for your
installation. Th mounting m thod has b n v rifi d by SHARP
and NOT CERTIFIED by a third party organization.
Th approv d way to mount SHARP PV modul s to a support
structur is d scrib d in this INSTALLATION MANUAL.
Although SHARP do s not sp cify or warrant fram clamps or
clips, using fram clamps (not provid d) or clips (not provid d)
is possibl wh n th y ar d sign d for PV modul s and with
minimum dim nsions on th sid s of th PV modul in
accordanc with th instructions and drawings provid d. If using
fram clamps or clips, th PV modul s should b fix d rigidly
and th r shall b no damag to th PV modul s by d forming
mounting structur against d sign load.
Th SHARP PV modul guaranty may b void if custom r-
s l ct d fram clamps ar improp r or inad quat for PV
modul prop rti s (including str ngth or mat rial) or installation.
Not that if m tal clamps ar us d, th r must b a path to
ground from th clamps, (for instanc , using star wash rs in th
clamp hardwar s t).Pl as r vi w th d scriptions and
drawings car fully; not mounting th PV modul s according to
on of th s m thods may void your guaranty. Th PV modul
has pass d th t st s qu nc which contains 3 cycl s ach
p rform d at 5,400 Pa positiv and 2,400 Pa n gativ loading
in accordanc with IEC61215-2. Th syst m d sign r shall b
r sponsibl to nsur prot ctiv structur s so that th modul
can b ar to th loads that ar diff r nt from th t st condition
d fin d in th IEC standard.
Support structur s that PV modul s ar mount d on should b
rigid. SHARP PV modul s ar d sign d to nsur optimal
l ctrical p rformanc und r th condition that th y ar
mount d on rigid support structur s. D formation of support
structur may damag PV modul with its l ctric p rformanc .
Wh n mounting th PV modul on structur , nsur that no
corn r has a displac m nt of mor than 2mm p r v ry
1000mm of th diagonal. Th mounting structur shall nabl
th PV modul to d fl ct fr ly und r wind and/or snow load not
to mak dir ct impact to th c nt r of th PV modul .(i. . min.
10 cm from th roof surfac to th bottom fac of PV modul
fram ). Th install r shall b r sponsibl for th s l ction and
construction of support structur .
9. MAINTENANCE
Th PV modul s ar d sign d for long lif and r quir v ry littl
maint nanc . If th angl of th PV modul is 5 d gr s or
mor , normal rainfall is suffici nt to k p th PV modul glass
surfac cl an und r most w ath r conditions. If dirt build-up
b com s xc ssiv , us only a soft, damp cloth and wat r to
