1.3 Limited Warranty
Module limited warranties are described in the SunPower warranty
document obtainable at www.sunpower.com. Please read this
document for more information.
Warranties do not apply to any of the following;
PV Modules subjected to: (i) misuse, abuse, neglect or accident;
(ii) alteration or improper installation (improper installation
includes, without limitation, installation or array that does not
comply with all SunPower installation instructions and
operations and maintenance instructions of any type (as may be
amended and updated from time to time at SunPower’s sole
discretion), and all national, state, and local laws, codes,
ordinances, and regulations); (iii) repair or modification by

specifications; and any other operational specification; (v) power
failure surges, lightning, flood, or fire; (vi) damage from persons,
biological activity, or industrial chemical exposure; (vii) glass
breakage from impact or other events outside SunPower’s
control.
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 allow the connectors to come in contact with chemicals
such as greases, oils and organic solvents which may cause stress
cracking.
•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.
•Save these instructions!
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 Isc and Voc marked on the module should be multiplied by a factor
Important! Please read this instruction sheet in its entirety
before installing, wiring, or using this product in any way.
Failure to comply with these instructions will invalidate the
SunPower Limited Warranty for PV Modules.
Danger! Module interconnects pass direct current (DC) and are
sources of voltage when the module is under load and when it is
exposed to light. Direct current can arc across gaps and may
cause injury or death if improper connection or disconnection is
made, or if contact is made with module components that are
damaged. Do not connect or disconnect modules when current
from the modules or an external source is present.

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.
4.0 Electrical Connections
Modules may be connected in series and/or parallel to achieve the
desired electrical output as long as certain conditions are met. Please
use only the same type of modules in a combined source circuit.
When not controlled by local regulation, SunPower recommends only
mating the same make, model and system rated connectors in a PV
system. SunPower recommends that all wiring be double insulated
with a minimum rating of 85° C (185° F). All wiring should use flexible
copper (Cu) conductors. The minimum size should be determined by
the applicable codes. We recommend a size not less than 4mm2. The
insulation type should be appropriate for the type of installation
method used and must meet SCII (Safety Class II) and IEC 61730
requirements. To minimize the risk from indirect lightning strikes
(Voltage surges), the system should be designed to avoid loops in the
wiring.
SunPower recommends a conservative minimum cable bend radius of
equal to or greater than 40mm and must not be bent on the direct exit
of the connector or junction box. Avoid exposure of electrical
connections to direct sunlight and do not place the connector in a
location where water could easily accumulate. Installers must refer to
connector manufacturer’s instruction for further installation and
connection requirements.
4.1 System & Equipment Grounding
Please refer to the applicable regional and local codes on grounding
PV arrays and mounting frames for specific requirements (e.g.
lightning protection).
Module Types
SPR E, X, P series modules and our SunPower and Performance Product Line
are compatible with Transformer Less (TL) inverters, when used as an
ungrounded PV source.
No frame grounding requirements (including functional frame grounding),
but may be subjected to local regulation.
Functional system grounding of a polarity (positive or negative) is optional
and may be subject to local requirements

Note: If you are installing an older Module Type than above
mentioned, please refer to different/previous applicable Safety and
Installation Manual.
If you are doing a frame grounding connection, avoid the direct
contact between Aluminum and Copper using an intermediate metal
like stainless steel or tin.
4.2 Series Connection
The modules may be wired in series to produce the desired voltage
output. Do not exceed the maximum system voltage specified in
module datasheet.
4.3 Parallel Connection
The modules may be combined in parallel to produce the desired
current output. Series string must be fused prior to combining with
other strings if the resulting maximum reverse current exceeds the
fuse rating as shown in the datasheets. Bypass diodes are factory
installed in the modules. Please refer to the applicable regional and
local codes for additional fusing requirements and limitations on the
maximum number of modules in parallel.
5.0 Module Mounting
The SunPower Limited Warranty for PV Modules is contingent upon
modules being mounted in accordance with the requirements
described in this section.
5.1 Site Considerations
SunPower modules should be mounted in locations that meet the
following requirements:
Operating Temperature: All SunPower modules must be mounted in
environments that ensure SunPower modules will operate within the
following maximum and minimum operating temperatures:
Maximum Operating
Temperature
+85 °C (+185 °F)
Minimum Operating
Temperature
-40 °C (-40 °F)
Care should be taken to provide adequate ventilation behind the
modules, especially in hot environments.
Shading: Modules should be installed so that permanent shading of
cells is avoided and partial shading that may occur during certain times
of the day or year is minimized.
Shading may induce in certain cases strong energy production
reduction, even in case of small shading and should be avoid as much
as possible, specially at mid-day when the production is maximum.
Design Strength: SunPower modules are designed to meet a positive
or negative (upward and downward, e.g. wind) withstanding test
pressure load and a negative (or downward, e.g. static load or snow
load) withstanding test pressure load, as per IEC 61215, when
mounted in the configurations specified in Section 5.2 and Tables 1.2
or 1.3 below.
When mounting modules in snow prone or high wind environments,
special care should be taken to mount the modules in a manner that
provides sufficient design strength while meeting local code
requirements.
Additional authorized Operating Environments:
Modules can be mounted in the following aggressive environment
according to the test limits mentioned below
Salt mist corrosion testing: IEC 61701 Severity 6
Ammonia Corrosion Resistance: IEC 62716 Concentration: 6,667ppm
Excluded Operating Environments:
Certain operating environments are not recommended for specific
SunPower modules and are excluded from the SunPower Limited
Warranty for these modules.
No SunPower module should be mounted at a site where it may be
subject to direct contact with salt water, or other aggressive
environment.
Modules should not be installed near flammable liquids, gases, or
locations with hazardous materials; or moving vehicules of any type.
Performance Series Mounting Orientation
Performance Series (P-Series) modules are designed to be installed in
landscape orientation. In landscape orientation, P-series modules
maintain higher power under row to row shading and edge soiling.

5.2 Mounting Configurations
Mounting system must provide a flat plane for the modules to be
mounted on and must not cause any twist or stress to be placed on
the Module, even in case of thermal expension.
Modules may be mounted at any angle from horizontal to vertical.
Select the appropriate orientation to maximize sunlight exposure.
SunPower recommends for a good performance of the system
(reduction of soiling effect/water pooling) a minimum of 5˚tilt angle.
The cleaning frequency must be increased for modules installed with
a very low angle.
Commercial modules (96 & 128 cells) frames have permanently
attached stacking pins located a 20mm zone on the long side frame at
388-408 mm (“D” area in Figure 2) . Mounting system hardware used
with commercial modules must account for the presence of these
stacking pins (see Table 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 or M8 stainless steel bolts,
with nuts, flat washers on both side, and lock washers are
recommended per module. Bolts to be fasten according to
racking supplier recommendations. 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. Please contact SunPower for
the approval of the use of non-standard pressure clamps or clips
where torque values are higher than otherwise stated.
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) 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.
5) SunPower specified or SunPower supplied mounting systems.
Modules mounted with strict adherence to SunPower
documentation, using hardware systems supplied by or
specified by SunPower.
Figure 2 and Table 1.1 below demonstrate the mounting locations and
Tables 1.2 and 1.3 give allowed load ratings (designed test value) for
SunPower modules.

5.3 Bifacial Gain
Various environmental and installation parameters affect bifacial
gain. Albedo is a measure of the amount of light reflected from the
ground surface. A higher albedo factor will increase irradiance on the
backside and result in higher bifacial gain of the module. The surface
conditions, month of the year, time of day, GHI and DNI both influence
the amount of incident rearside irradiance.
SunPower recommends to check with solar module mounting
hardware supplier in order to determine the Structure Shading factor
of your particular installation. The Structure Shading Factor varies
with racking system design, irradiance, albedo and height of module
installation above ground and has an overall impact on the rear side
irradiance mismatch.
The Rearside mismatch losses are proportional to the albedo, height
of the modules above ground and structure shading factor. The
irradiance non-uniformity on the rearside results in mismatch
generally as the albedo increases and installation height of the
modules are lower to the ground
5.4 Bifacial Electrical Considerations
The overall electrical bifacial gain is determined by the combination
of albedo, irradiance, shading losses from the rearside, rearside
mismatch and height of installation above ground. Please refer to
the SunPower datasheet for the electrical outputs with respect to
the overall bifacial gain. Please utilise a suitable performance
software package to simulate the overall bifacial gain.
5.5 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. As dry cleaning is also risky for Anti-Reflective (AR) coated
module surface, spinning brush is not recommended for module
cleaning.
