2.0 SafetyPrecautions
Beforeinstallingthisdevice,readallsafetyinstructionsinthismanual.


CoverallmodulesinthePVarraywithanopaqueclothormaterial
beforemakingorbreakingelectricalconnections.
Donotdisconnectanymoduleswhenitsinverterisfeedinginto
thegrid.Switchofftheinverterbeforedisconnecting,reinstalling
ormakinganyactionwiththemodules.
Forconnectors,whichareaccessibletountrainedpeople,itis
imperativetousethelockingconnectorsandsafetyclips,if
applicable,inordertodefendagainstuntrainedpersonnel
disconnectingthemodulesoncetheyhavebeeninstalled.
Allinstallationsmustbeperformedincompliancewithall
applicableregionalandlocalcodes.
Therearenouserserviceablepartswithinthemodule.Donot
attempttorepairanypartofthemodule.
Installationshouldbeperformedonlybyqualifiedpersonnel.
Removeallmetallicjewelrypriortoinstallingthisproductto
reducethechanceofaccidentalexposuretolivecircuits.
Useinsulatedtoolstoreduceyourriskofelectricshock.
Donotstandon,walk,drop,andscratchorallowobjectstofallon
theglasssurfaceofthemodules.
Damagedmodules(brokenglass,tornbacksheet,brokenj‐boxes,
brokenconnectors,etc)canbeelectricalhazardsaswellas
lacerationhazards.Contactwithdamagedmodulesurfacesor
moduleframecancauseelectricshock.Thedealerorinstallers
shouldremovethemodulefromarrayandcontactthesupplierfor
disposalinstructions.
Unconnectedconnectorsmustalwaysbeprotectedfrompollution
(e.gdust,humidity,foreignparticles,etc),priortoinstallation.Do
notleaveunconnected(unprotected)connectorsexposedtothe
environment.Acleanassemblyenvironmentisthereforeessential
toavoidperformancedegradation.
Donotinstallorhandlethemoduleswhentheyarewetorduring
periodsofhighwind.
Donotblockdrainholesorallowwatertopoolinornearmodule
frames
SunPowerrecommendtonotmix160mmcellsand166mmcells
modulesinacosmeticallysensitiveapplication.
Contactyourmodulesupplierifmaintenanceisnecessary.

3.0 ElectricalCharacteristics
ThemoduleelectricalratingsaremeasuredunderStandardTest
Conditions(STC)of1kW/m²irradiancewithAM1.5spectrumanda
celltemperatureof25°C.SunPowermoduleshavespecificelectrical
characteristicsasshownonthedatasheets.
Aphotovoltaicmodulemayproducemorecurrentand/orvoltage
thanreportedatSTC.Sunny,coolweatherandreflectionfromsnow
orwatercanincreasecurrentandpoweroutput.Therefore,thevalues
ofI
sc
andV
oc
markedonthemoduleshouldbemultipliedbyafactor
of1.25whendeterminingcomponentvoltageratings,conductor
ampacities,fusesizes,andsizeofcontrolsconnectedtoPVoutput.An
additional1.25multipliermayberequiredbycertainlocalcodesfor
sizingfusesandconductors.SunPowerrecommendstheuseofopen‐
circuitvoltagetemperaturecoefficientslistedonthedatasheetswhen
determiningMaximumSystemVoltage.
Important!Pleasereadthisinstructionsheetinitsentirety

©November2019SunPowerCorporation.Allrightsreserved.Specificationsincludedinthismanualaresubjecttochangewithoutnotice.
Commercialmodules(96&128cells)frameshavepermanently
attachedstackingpins.Mountingsystemhardwareusedwith
commercialmodulesmustaccountforthepresenceofthesestacking
pins(seeTable2).Thereisa20mmzoneonthelongsideframeat
388‐408mm(“D”areainFigure2).

Specificinformationonmoduledimensionsandthelocationof
mountingandgroundingholesisprovidedinFigures2andTable2.

Inordertopreventwaterfromenteringthejunctionbox,whichcould
presentasafetyhazard,modulesshouldnotbemountedsuchthat
thefront/topglassfacesdownward(e.g.,onatrackingstructurethat
positionsthemodulewiththejunctionboxfacingskywardduring
sleepmode).

Wealsowanttoremindthatthewatertightnessisnotensuredbythe
modulesbutbythemountingsystemandthatdrainageshouldbewell
designedforModules.

Clearancebetweenthemoduleframesandstructureorgroundis
requiredtopreventwiringdamageandallowsairtocirculatebehind
themodule.Therecommendedassemblingclearancebetween
modulesinstalledonanymountingsystemisaminimumof5mm
distance.
Wheninstalledonaroof,themoduleshallbemountedaccordingto
thelocalandregionalbuildingandfiresafetyregulations.Incasethe
moduleisinstalledinaroofintegratedPV‐System(BIPV),itshallbe
mountedoverawatertightandfire‐resistantunderlaymentratedfor
suchapplication

Modulesmountingsystemsshouldonlybeinstalledonbuildingthat
havebeenformallyconsideredforstructuralintegrity,andconfirmed
tobecapableofhandlingtheadditionalweightedloadoftheModules
andmountingsystems,byacertifiedbuildingspecialistorengineer.

Mountingsystemsuppliershallmanagethegalvaniccorrosionwhich
canoccurbetweenthealuminiumframeoftheModulesand
mountingsystemorgroundinghardwareifsuchdevicesiscomprised
ofdissimilarmetals.

Themoduleisonlycertifiedforusewhenitsfactoryframeisfully
intact.Donotremoveoralterthemoduleframe.Creatingadditional
mountingholesorremovingthestackingpinsmaydamagethe
moduleandreducethestrengthoftheframe,thereforearenot
allowed.UsingmountingClampsorclipswithadditionalgrounding
boltsorgroundingmetalsheetscouldbeincompliancewiththis
SafetyandInstallationInstructionsmanualsubjecttoconditionsof
Section4.1
Modulesmaybemountedusingthefollowingmethodsonly:

1) FrameHoles:Securethemoduletothestructureusingthe
factorymountingholes.FourM6(¼”)stainlesssteelbolts,with
nuts,washers,andlockwashersarerecommendedpermodule.
RefertoTable2forthemoduledimensionsandmountinghole
locations.(PleaserefertothearrowsontheTable2,
E1&E2&E3&E4).

2) PressureClampsorClips:Mountthemodulewiththeopposite
clipsonthelongerand/orshortersideoftheframeofthe
module.TheclipsallowedlocationshouldbeaccordingtoTable
1.1.Installersshouldensuretheclampsareofsufficient
strengthtoallowforthemaximumdesignpressureofthe
module.ClipsandclampsarenotprovidedbySunPower.
Clampsthatsecuretothetopoftheframemustnotdeformthe
topflange.Clampsmustapplyforcecollinearwiththe‘wall’of
themoduleframeandnotonlytothetopflange.Clampsor
installationproceduresthatputexcessiveforceonthetop
flangewilldeformtheframe,voidthemodulewarrantyandrisk
glassbreakage.Figure1a
illustrateslocationsfortop
frameclampforce.Avoid
clampingwithin50mmof
modulecornerstoreduce
riskofframecorner
deflectionandglass
breakage.Whenclamping
tothemoduleframe,
torqueshouldneverexceed15N.mtoreducechancesofframe
deformation.Mountingsystemsshouldbeevaluatedfor
compatibilitybeforeinstallingspeciallywhenthesystemisnot
usingClampsorclips.

3) EndMount:Endmountingisthecapturemountingofthe
lengthofthemodule’sshorterframeswithclampsoneach
shortersidesoftheframe.Threedifferentconfigurationsare
possible:1)withtwomountingrailsunderthecompletelength
ofeachshortersideoftheModules,(SeeTable1.2),2)withtwo
mountingrailsparalleltothelongsideoftheModules(See
Table1.2)and3)withoutanymountingrail(SeeTable1.2).The
end‐mountingrailsandclipsorclamps(identifiedasA
(1&2&3&4)

inTable1.1)mustbeofsufficientstrengthtoallowfor
maximumdesignedtestpressureofthemodule.Verifythis
capacitywiththemountingsystemofvendorbefore
installation.

4) CenterMount:(OnlyforOasisTrackers):Acontinuousclamp
maybeusedtoclampthebottomflangeoftheframeatthe
centerofthelongsides(identifiedasF
1&2
)
.
Minimumclamping
lengthshallbe150mmontopofflangeand100mmonbottom.

5) HybridMount:Combinationwithclampsorclipslocatedon
longerorshortersidesofModulesarealsopossible,seeTable
1.2forallowedconfigurations.Inanycase,fourclampings
pointsareneeded.

6) SunPowerspecifiedorSunPowersuppliedmountingsystems.

5.3HandlingofModulesduringInstallation
Donotplacemodulesfaceforwardindirectcontactwithabrasive
surfaceslikeroofs,driveways,woodenpallets,railings,stuccowalls,
etc…
Themodulefrontsurfaceglassissensitivetooilsandabrasive
surfaces,whichmayleadtoscratchesandirregularsoiling.
Duringstorage,modulesneedtobeprotectedfromrainoranykinds
ofliquids.Requiredstoragetemperatureisbetween10°Cto40°Cina
dryenvironment(humiditybetween30to80%).Donotstoremodules
outdoortoavoidmoistureandwetconditions.

Modulesthatfeatureantireflectivecoatedglassarepronetovisible
fingerprintmarksiftouchedonthefrontglasssurface.SunPower
recommendshandingmoduleswithanti‐reflectiveglasswithgloves
(noleathergloves)orlimitingtouchingofthefrontsurface.Anyfinger
printmarksresultingfrominstallationwillnaturallydisappearover
timeorcanbereducedbyfollowingthewashingguidelinesinSection
6.0below.Anymodulecoverage(coloredplastictarpsorsimilar)
duringinstallationcanleadtopermanentfrontglassdiscolorationand
isnotrecommended.Theuseofvacuumliftingpadscancause
permanentmarksonthefrontglass.Neverliftormovethemodule
usingthecablesorthejunctionboxunderany‐circumstances.
ShadingincidenceneedtobeavoidedduringPVsystemoperation.
Thesystemisnotsupposedtobeenergizeduntilthemounting
scaffolding,fencesorrailinghavebeenremovedfromtheroof.
Systemsshouldbedisconnectedinanycasesofmaintenancewhich
cancauseshading(e.g.chimneysweeping,anyroofmaintenance,
antenna/dishinstallations,etc).

6.0Maintenance
SunPowerrecommendsvisualinspectiononaregularbasisofall
modulesforsafeelectricalconnections,soundmechanical
connection,andfreedomfromcorrosion.Thisvisualinspectionshould
beperformedbytrainedpersonnel.Thestandardfrequencyisoncea
yearaccordingtoenvironmentalconditions

Periodiccleaningofmodulesisrecommendedbutisnotrequired.
Periodiccleaninghasresultedinimprovedperformancelevels,
especiallyinregionswithlowlevelsofannualprecipitation(lessthan
46,3cm(18,25inches)).Consultyourdealerorsupplierabout
recommendedcleaningschedulesforyourarea.

Tocleanamodule,washwithpotable,non‐heated,water.Normal
waterpressureismorethanadequate,butpressurizedwaterupto
100bar(min.50cmdistance)maybeused.SunPowerrecommends
usingalargehosepipeandnottoperformcleaningathighoutside
temperatures.Fingerprints,stains,oraccumulationsofdirtonthe
frontsurfacemayberemovedasfollows:firstrinseoffareaandlet
soakforashortperiodoftime(5mins).Re‐wetanduseasoftsponge
orseamlessclothtowipeglasssurfaceinacircularmotion.
Fingerprintstypicallycanberemovedwithasoftclothorspongeand
waterafterwetting.Donotuseharshcleaningmaterialssuchas
scouringpowder,steelwool,scrapers,blades,orothersharp
instrumentstocleantheglasssurfaceofthemodule.Useofsuch
materialsorcleaningwithoutconsultationwillinvalidatetheproduct
warranty.
