PRECAUTION:
Operate Solar PV modules in a safe environment. Suitable and exempt of any risks.
Maximum height to operate the modules is4000 mabove the sea level
Please do not use any abrasive or chemical solution on the modules. Neither on
glass nor on aluminium frames.
Avoid direct contact with salt water.
Solar PV modules are not to be considered as a roofing substitute. Solar PV modules
alone cannot grant waterproofing for the roof.
Roof waterproofing can be obtained considering the addition of a PV module and a
BIPV* solution.
*building integrated photovoltaic.
Operating temperature from -40°C to 85°C.
The best efficiency will be obtained by optimising the angle of inclination and facing
the sun.
When electing final position of the PV modules it isrecommended toavoid any
potential shadowing that could result from building, chimney, trees and so on as it
could result in a significant energy loss.
SOLUXTEC’s PV modules can be installed only with mounting structures.
Mounting structures need to comply with any applicable laws specific to the country
of installation.
Modules need tobe installed on mounting structure following user guide developed
by manufacturer of mounting structure.
Respect a sufficient ventilation for the PV modules.
Respect mounting structure dilatation to avoid any extra mechanical stress on PV
modules.
Make sure to use a mounting structure material that won’t present any chemical
reaction on PV module frame (corrosion phenomena)
Clamp’s election is important and need tofulfill the minimum standards:
•Frameless module clamps need an EPDM protection to tighten on glass.
For each type of Frameless modules, a minimal length of 120 mm is mandatory.
•For each type of framed modules, a minimal length of 80 mm clamps is
mandatory.
•Clamps are not in contact with front glass, or clamps for frameless modules
are not shadowing solar cells.
•A minimum of 4 clamps/module is mandatory.
•Tightening force in Newton must follow recommendation of the clamp
producer.

All the data mentioned above is given based on module resistance. It is on the installer
to elect a mounting instruction having at least same behaviour as the module.
The whole solution needs to be evaluated by the solution supplier for the set “PV
module + mounting system + clamp system”.
All accessories such as bolt, screws and other metal parts are corrosion-proof and
exempt of any chemical reaction with the frame of the solar module.
Make sure that the module’s junction boxes are not in contact with any metal part
belonging to the mounting structure.
Make sure that module cables are not damaged and not in mechanical stress.
Make sure that the mounting system or any sharp component is not in contact with the
surface of the modules nor the foil or glass backside.

7 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
PRECAUTION for individual protection
Please make sure to wear your individual protection equipment.
WIRING AND PLANNING
Before starting with modules wiring, a visual inspection is recommended to make
sure that all module components are in a good shape.
The final wiring conception is determined in relation to the final project on site.
Modules deployed for a given project should present the same technical
characteristics to prevent any mismatching.
PV modules can be connected in serial or in parallel.
•In serial:
total voltage is the sum of each module voltage
(in serial we add voltage, we do not add
intensities)
helmet
Insulated gloves for
electrical work
Safety clothes
covering whole body
Security shoes
Fall protection for
height working.

SOLUXTEC USER GUIDE 2021_Version 1/a_ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
•In parallel:
total intensity is the sum of the serial lines in
parallel (in parallel we add the intensities)
total voltage is the sum of each module voltage in
from 1 line (in parallel we do not add the voltage)
Note: When a project is wired with modules in parallel, it is important to check the fuse rating
of the module. This value is available on the module’s label as well as on the dedicated data
sheet. Indeed, in case of 1 line shadowing, the line that is still producing energy will “load” the
other. This is why an appropriate line fuse protection must be applied and follow appropriate
standards.
The maximal overall voltage of a PV generator needs to take into consideration the
worst-case scenario. It means that we need to consider the voltage open circuit and
the minimal temperature on site.
You can calculate it with the following formula:
   =[1 +  ( −25°)]
Where:
N=number of modules in serial
Uoc = Open circuit voltage of a module
TcUoc = Temperature coefficient at open circuit voltage
Tmin = Minimal temperature on project site
The cables section from our products is always given at 4mm², cables are always UV
resistant and qualified for direct current (DC). This section is enough for a single
component. However, and depending on the configuration of the pv generator, it is
recommended to check at the maximal short circuit current from the whole project in
order to elect the right cables cross section in respect to the local standards.
The planning for the wiring of the PV system should consider a tight loop wiring of the
plus and minus line. The area enclosed by the conductors should be kept as small as
possible (here in grey). This reduces the risk of inductive coupling caused by lightning
strokes.

Connectors need to be kept dry and clean. When wiring connectors together, make
sure that both are from same manufacturer and same reference.
When well connected, you must listen a “click” confirming the right connection.
A bad connection may result into arcs and electrical shock. Arcs may also be the origin
of a fire departure. This point is extremely important.
All framed modules need to be connected together with a grounding solution to the
main equipotential bonding of the project location.
On each module, you can find 4 different location allowing the grounding bonding and
mark with this logo:
It is recommended to use a 10 mm² bonding connector to realize the grounding
between each module. The recommended section to the main equipotential bonding
is 16 mm².
The legal standard from the installation place might be different and need to be follow
in priority.

8 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING:
SOLUXTEC PV modules come with a long-lasting operating life coupled with low level
of maintenance.
SOLUXTEC recommends a yearly inspection from a qualified company (ideally from
the company having realised the installation) in order to control the efficiency of the
complete generator.
Dust or pollution from the environment may gather on the surface of PV modules.
Hence, it is recommended to clean the surface of the modules only with a soft broom
and water. An alcohol based cleaner solution is also allowed.
For any issues with SOLUXTEC’s products you can contact us via our email address
- [email protected]
SOLUXTEC’S technical service will support you.
