GENERAL SAFETY
■Installing PV modules and ground frames
should be in accordance with applicable
rules and regulations.
■Only installer/service personnel should
have access to the PV module installati-
on site. In order to avoid a risk of injury
or electrical shock, do not allow anyone
to approach the PV module if the person
has little knowledge on PV module or on
the measures that should be taken when
PV modules are damaged.
■No matter where the PV modules are
installed, either roof mounted constructi-
on or any other type of structures above
the ground, appropriate safety practices
should be followed and required safe-
ty equipment should be used in order to
avoid possible safety hazards. Note that
the installation of some PV modules on
roofs may require the addition of repro-
ong, depending on local building/re
codes.
■In the case that the PV modules are
non-integral type, the module is to be
mounted over a re resistant roof.
■Follow all safety precautions of other
components used in the system.
■Do not clean the glass surface with che-
micals. Do not let water stay on the glass
surface of PV modules for a long time.
This creates a risk of white e󰀪orescence
(glass disease) which may result in the
deterioration of energy generation.
■Do not install the PV module horizontally.
It may cause dirt or white e󰀪orescence
(glass disease) due to water.
■Do not cover the water drain holes of the
frame. There is a risk of frost damage
when the frame is lled with water.
■When sliding snow load has to be consi-
dered, an appropriate measure has to be
taken so that PV module frames on lower
edge of PV modules will not be damaged.
■In case the glass surface of a PV modu-
le is broken, wear goggles and tape the
glass to keep the broken pieces in place.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
■Contact with electrically active parts of a
PV module such as terminals can result
in burns, sparks and lethal shock whether
the PV modules is connected or not.
■PV modules produce electricity when the
sunlight or other sources illuminate the
module surface. When the modules are
connected in series, voltage is cumulati-
ve. When the modules are connected in
parallel, current is cumulative.As a result,
a large-scale PV system can produce
high voltage and current which could pre-
sent an increased hazard and may cause
serious injury or death.
■Do not connect the PV modules directly to
the loads since the variation of the output
power depending on the solar irradiation
causes damage for the connected load.
■Turn o󰀨 inverters and circuit breakers
immediately, should a problem occur.
■A defective PV module may generate po-
wer even if it is removed from the system.
It may be dangerous to handle the PV
module while exposed to sunlight. Place
a defective PV module in a carton after
PV cells are completely shaded.
■Do not expose PV module to sunlight con-
centrated with mirrors, lenses or similar
means.
■Do not shade portions of the PV module
surface from the sunlight for a long time.
The shaded cell may become hot (hot
spot phenomenon) which results in solder
joints peeling o󰀨.
■In case of series connection, the maxi-
mum open circuit voltage must not be
greater than the specied maximum sys-
tem voltage. The voltage is proportional to
the number of series. In case of parallel
connection, please be sure to take proper
measure (e.g. fuse for protection of mo-
dule and cable from over current, and/or
blocking diode for prevention of unbalan-
ced strings voltage) to block the reverse
current ow. The current may easily ow
in a reverse direction.

you reach the installation site, otherwise,
do not open the package of the modules.
■Please protect the modules’ package.
When loading or unloading the modules,
please handle with care. Do not drop the
packed pallet of modules down directly.
■Before open the modules’ package, store
the modules in ventilated and dry place.
■When opening the modules’ package
with knife, be careful not scratching the
module.
■Do not lift the whole module by grabbing
the terminal box or cable in any sense.
■Modules are heavy. Handle with care. Do
not drop PV modules far above ground.
Do not drop one module down on another
module.
■Do not stand or step on the module.
Do not pass by stepping on the module
especially when installing, maintain and
washing the modules.
■Do not hit or put excessive load on the
glass or back sheet. Do not allow objects
fall down on the module.
■Do not cause an excessive load on the
surface of PV module or twist the frame.
■Do not scratch or hit at the back sheet.
Do not hit on the terminal box or do not
pull the cables. Please notice the ground
condition when the module is placed hori-
zontally with back sheet faced down.
■Do not try to unpick the module, remove
any parts or the nameplate of the module.
■Do not brush oil paint or any other ad-
hesive on the surface of the module. Do
not scratch the insulation coating of the
frame (except for grounding connection).
It may cause corrosion of the frame or
compromise the framework strength.
■Do not drill holes in the frame. It may com-
promise the frame strength and cause
corrosion of the frame.
■Do not repair glass, back sheet or other
broken part of the module.
■Please install with dry tools in dry con-
dition. Do not operate when the module
is wet, unless wear proper equipment
against electrical shock.
■Do not grab the PV module at only one
side. The frame may bend. Grab the PV
module at two sides facing each other.
■Do not touch the PV module with bare
hands. The frame of PV module has sharp
edges and may cause injury.
■Do not scratch the output cable or bend
it with force. The insulation of output cab-
le can break and may result in electricity
leakage or shock.
■Do not try articially to concentrate sunlight
onthe PVmodule.Never touchterminalbox
or the end of output cables with bare hands
when the PV module is irradiated. Cover
the surface of PV module with cloth or other
suitable su󰀩ciently opaque material to iso-
late the PV module from incident light and
handle the wires with rubber-gloved hands
to avoid electric shock.
■Always wear protective head gear, insula-
ting gloves and safety shoes (with rubber
soles).
■Do not touch the PV module unnecessarily
during installation. The glass surface and
the frames get hot. There is a risk of burn,
or you may collapse because of electric
shock.
■Do not work under rain, snow or windy
conditions.
■Do not touch the terminal box and the end
ofoutputcablesthecable ends(connectors)
with bare hands during installation or under
sunlight, regardless of whether the PV mo-
dule is connected to or disconnected from
the system.
■Plug in the connector tight and ensure the
wiring work. Do not unplug the connector
if the system circuit is connected to a load.
■Do not stomp on the glass at work. There
is a risk of injury or electric shock if glass
is broken.
■Do not work alone (always work as a team
of 2 or more people).
■When installing PV modules far above
ground, wear a safety belt, do not drop

any object (e.g., PV module or tools).
■Do not wear metallic jewelry which can
cause electric shock during installation.
■Do not damage the back sheet of PV mo-
dules when fastening the PV modules to a
support by bolts.
■Do not damage the surrounding PV mo-
dules or mounting structure when repla-
cing a PV module.
■Bind cablesbytheinsulation locks.Drooping
down of cables from the terminal box could
possibly cause various problems such as
animal biting, electricity leakage in puddle.

■Take proper measures for preventing the
laminate (consisted of resin, cells, glass,
back sheet, etc.) from dropping out of the
frame in case the glass is broken.
■Cables shall be located so that they will
not be exposed to direct sunlight after ins-
tallation to prevent degradation of cables.
■When installing the module, make sure
that the terminal box is on the higher side
of the module for better waterproof.
4. COMPONENTS
5. SITE SELECTION AND WORK
ENVIRONMENT
■In most applications, the PV modules
should be installed in a location where
there is no shading throughout the year.
Please make sure that there are no ob-
structions in the surroundings of the site
of installation.
■Take proper steps in order to maintain reli-
ability and safety, in case the PV modules
are used in areas such as: Heavy snow
areas / Extremely cold areas / Strong wind
areas / Installations over, or near, water /
Areas where installations are prone to salt
water damage / Small islands or desert
areas.

GENERAL INSTALLATION MANUAL
PV MODULES: P/M SERIES
where the PV modules are attached to a
permanent structure, the tilt angle of the
PVmodules should be determined to opti-
mize theperformance when thesunlight is
the scarcest. In general, if the electric po-
wergeneration is adequate when the sun-
light is the scarcest, then the angle cho-
sen should be adequate during the rest of
the year. For grid-connected installations
where the PV modules are attached to a
permanent structure, it is recommended
to tilt the PV module at the angle equal to
the latitude of the installation site so that
the power generation from the PV module
will be optimum throughout the year.
■For the detailed installation angle, which is
di󰀨erent in di󰀨erent area, may refer to the
recommendation of the experienced PV
modules installation supplier.
7. WIRING
■To ensure proper system operation and
to maintain your warranty, observe the
correct cable connection polarity (Figures
2 & 3) when connecting the modules to a
battery or to other modules.
■If not connected correctly, the bypass
diode could be destroyed.
■PV modules can be wired in series to in-
crease voltage. Connect wires from the
positive terminal of one module to the
negative terminal of the next module.
Figure 2 shows modules connected in
series.
■Connect PV modules in parallel to increa-
se current. Connect wires from the positi-
ve terminal of one module to the positive
terminal on the next module. Figure 3
shows modules connected.
■If you are planning to use the PV modules
where the salt water damage may be pos-
sible, please consult with Solar Fabrik local
agent rst to determine an appropriate in-
stallation method, or to determine whether
the installation is possible.
■P/M series PV modules have also pas-
sed salt mist corrosion test according to
IEC60701. But corrosion may occur in the
module frame connecting to the bracket
portion or the portion of ground connecti-
on. those parts shall be prepared with anti-
corrosion treatment before usage.
■Make sure ammable gases are not ge-
nerated near the installation site.
■P/M series PV modules have passed the
tests in IEC61215 and IEC61730, inclu-
ding damp heat test, wet leakage current
test and so on. The protection level of P/M-
series PV modules is IP65. The PV modu-
les should not be installed in ooded areas.
The junction box should be on the higher
side of the module when it is mounted.
■Solar Fabrik recommend that the PV
modules should be installed in the pla-
ce where the operating temperature is
from -20°C to 46°C. The operating tem-
perature is the maximum and minimum
monthly average temperature of the ins-
tallation site. The limit of working tempe-
rature is from -40°C to 85°C.
■P/M series PV modules can be used on
proper structure or any other place which
is suitable for module installation (such as
ground, roof and façade).
6. TILT ANGLE
■The tilt angle of the PV module is the
angle between the PV module and a ho-
rizontal ground surface. The PV module
generates the maximum output power
when it faces the sun directly.
■In the Northern Hemisphere, the PV
modules should typically face south,
and in the Southern Hemisphere, the
PV modules should typically face north.
■For the standalone systems with a battery

9. ELECTRICAL RATINGS
Refer to the mechanical and electrical ratings
of individual models of PV module in the an-
nex of this manual.
10. GROUNDING
■Each PV module has two grounding holes
on each short side frame. Do not drill ad-
ditional grounding holes on the frame.And
the negative pole of the modules must be
grounded also. Otherwise, the module
warranty will be void.
■The grounding is considered within the re-
quirement of local regulation at the site of
installation.
■When needed frame grounding, please
refer to below example of connection.
Figure 2 - SERIES for more voltage
Figure 3 - PARALLEL for more current
Please be careful in arranging the system
ground so that the removal of one module
from the circuit will not interrupt the groun-
ding of any other modules. The modules
should be grounded to the same electrical
point.
■Anexampleofacceptablegroundconnec-
tion using a screw, nut (hardware not
provided) and washer retaining a ground
screw is shown in gure 4. The size of the
grounding cable should be decided by the
professional person who responsible for
electrical installation. In a connection of
this type, the hardware (such as a toothed
locked washer / star washer) must score
the frame surface to make positive elec-
trical contact with the frame. The ground
wire must be considered within the requi-
rement of local and regulation at the site
of installation.
■If steel parts used for grounding purpo-
se, steel parts must be plated, painted or
enameled for protection against corrosion
before usage.

11. MOUNTING
■Please make sure that all the information
described in the installation manual is still
valid and proper for your installation. The
mounting method has been veried by
the manufacturer and NOT CERTIFIED
by a third party organization. The appro-
ved way to mount P/M series PV modules
to a support structure is to use the bolt
holes provided as described in the Spe-
cications.
■Although Solar Fabrik does not specify or
warrant frameclips orclamps, usingframe
clips (not provided) or clamps (not provi-
ded) is also possible when they are desi-
gned for PV modules and with minimum
dimensions on the sides of the module
in accordance with the instructions and
drawings provided. If using frame clips or
clamps, the modules should be xed ri-
gidly and there shall be no damage to the
modules by deforming mounting structure
against design load. Solar Fabrik does not
specify or warrant frame clips.
■The P/M series modules warranty may
be void if customer-selected frame clips
which are improper or inadequate with
respect to the module properties (inclu-
ding strength or material) or installation.
Note that if metal clips are used, there
must be a path to ground from the clips,
(for instance, using star washers in the
clip hardware set). Please review the
descriptions and drawings carefully; not
mounting the modules according to one
of these methods may void your warranty.
■These mounting methods are designed to
allow module loading of 5400Pa. Support
structures that PV modules are mounted
on should be rigid. P/M series PV modules
are designed to secure their electric per-
formance under the condition that they are
mounted on rigid support structures. De-
formation of support structure may dama-
ge PV module with its electric performan-
ce. Ifthe modulesare tobe installedon the
roof or wall of a building, the stando󰀨 me-
thod or the rack method is recommended.

and surface of the wall or roof is required
to prevent the junction box from touching
the mounting surface and to circulate coo-
ling air around the back of the module.
The exact space size may be decided by
the installeror thesystem integratorbased
on the analysis of local weather and the
specic roof structure involved.
■There are no limitations in the use of PV
modules required to meet the building re-
gulation requirements, in particular those
relating to external re spread. The PV
modules can be used in concrete, slate or
any other kinds of roofs which are strong
enough and .the modules must be instal-
led appropriately. Module installation will
(must) ensure weatherproong.
■Usually 4 mounting holes is enough, the
installer can use No. 1 group of holes as
shown in Figure 5 according to the circum-
stances. System designer and installer
are responsible for load calculations and
for proper design of support structure.
■For the mounting using clips on the long
edge of module, 4 clips are usually adop-
tive. If additional wind or snow loads are
anticipated for this installation, increase
the number of clips to 6 or 8 as required.
System designer and installer are respon-
sible for load calculations and for proper
design of support structure.
12. MAINTENANCE
■The modules are designed for long life.
The regular inspection and maintenance
of the module must be carried out espe-
cially during the warranty period. It is the
responsibility user must bear. When the
module gets damaged, inform the supplier
in time (usually 2 weeks).
■If the angle of the PV module is 5 degrees
or more, normal rainfall is su󰀩cient to keep
the module glass surface clean under
most weather conditions. If dirt build-up
becomes excessive, clean the glass surfa-
ce only with a soft cloth using water. If cle-
aning the back of the module is required,
take utmost care not to damage the back
side materials. Do not use acidic or alka-
line cleaning agent to wash the modules.
■Do not trample on the module when wash
it. Do the security work.
■In order to ensure the operation of the
system, please check the connection of
wiring and the state of the jacket of wires
every now and then.

the reverse current ow.
2. WARNING
■Do not stand or step on the PV module
(Glass, Frame, Film and Terminal box).
■Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic
module is likely to experience conditions
that produce more current and/or voltage
than reported at Standard Test Condi-
tions. Accordingly, the values of Isc and
Voc marked on this module should be
multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when deter-
mining component voltage ratings, con-
ductor capacities, fuse sizes and size of
controls connected to the module output.
