This manual is used for GCL System Integration Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter
referred to as GCLSI) solar modules (hereinafter referred to as the Module or Modules)
only. This manual contains installation methods, operation safety and relevant
maintenance information of GCLSI’s Modules.
Modules must be installed by professionals. Please ready this manual carefully before
installation. The installers must follow all the rules described in this manual strictly as
well as local requirements and regulations by law or authorized organizations .
Before installing, the installer must be familiar with their mechanical and electrical
requirements. Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference (care and
maintenance) and in case of sale or disposal of the Modules.
GCSI shall not be responsible for any loss arising from installation, operation, use or
maintenance of the Modules which is not complying with the guidance of this manual,
including breakdown or damage of the Modules or any other expenses incurred.
Any customer shall not get any patent or authorization of the patent when using the
Modules, expressed or implied. Any infringement of patents or other rights of the third
party, which may result from the use of the Module, is not within the responsibility
scope of GCLSI.
The information in this manual is based on GCLSI’s knowledge and experience and is
believed to be reliable, but such information including product specication (without
limitation) and relevant suggestions do not constitute a warranty, expressed or
implied.
GCLSI reserves the rights to change the manual, the Modules, the specications or any
other information of the Modules without prior notice.

Do not directly apply pressure on the glass surface or backsheet of Modules.
Must use both hands to carry Modules.
Do not touch the surface of the coated glass with bare hands.
Ensure all contacts and the operating environment are clean and dry.
Keep all the Modules and electrical connectors clean and dry before installation.
Use dry and ventilated room when storing uninstalled modules.
Use both hands to carry Modules. Do not overlap Modules.
Be cautious when carrying Modules. Slip-proof gloves are necessary.
Use supportive disassembling tools when unpacking .

Select suitable places to install Modules.
Install Modules at the places with sucient sunlight and without shade at any time. If
a module is shaded or even partially shaded, it will result in lower power output. A
permanent or regular shade will cause damage to the module, which will void GCLSI’s
warranty.
Do not place, install or use Modules at the places where combustible gas is easily
generated or gathering.
The straight-line distance between the installation site and coastline shall not be
shorter than 1 km unless there is a written approval from GCLSI or an engagement
specied in the contract.
Modules in the same string should be installed at the same angle. Modules installed in
dierent angles will receive dierent irradiation, which will cause current dierent. As
a result, it will decrease the operation eciency of the system.
Please refer to Table 1 for the recommended installation angles of the Modules.
Module Installation
General Installtion
The mounting structure must be made of durable, corrosion-resistant and UV-resistant
materials. Always use a tested and certied mounting structure for the system.
Make sure Modules are securely fastened to the mounting structure to withstand
corresponding wind load and snow load.
Select a suitable height for the mounting system to prevent the lowest portion of the
Module covered by snow in winter. In addition, ensure the bottom of the Module is
high enough so that the Module will not be shaded by plants or damaged by ying
sands.
As for the system installed on the ground, the minimum distance GCLSI recommends
between the bottom of Modules and the ground should be 24 inches (60 cm).
Before installing Modules onto a rooftop, make sure the roof construction is suitable
and the installed Modules will not exceed the roof area. Besides, the roof must be
properly sealed to prevent leaks.
When installing Modules to a pole, the selected mounting structure and pole shall be
able to withstand the expected wind load and snow load in the area.
Make sure Modules are not subject to wind or snow loads exceeding the maximum load
permitted by GCLSI and not subjected to excessive force due to the thermal expansion
of the mounting system. It is not allowed to overlap the Modules.
Provide adequate ventilation to the back of the Module for cooling. A minimum
distance of 10cm between the installation surface and the Module is GCLSI generally
recommended.
To prevent the linear thermal expansion of the Module frames, GCLSI suggests that the
minimum distance between two Modules should not be shorter than 2cm.
Always follow the guidance and safety rules specied in the mounting system.
Do not drill holes on the glass surface or the frames of the Module, which will void the
warranty.

Installation Method
Insertion system: Insert the whole Module into the rail, as shown in Figure 3.
Modules can be installed on the frame in the following 3 methods.
Mounting hole system: Use anticorrosive M8 bolts to install the Module on the
support frame through the installation holes on its own frame, as shown in Figure 1.
Clamping system: Use suitable clamps to x the Module on the support frame, as
shown in Figure 2.

Select a suitable installation method depending on the load requirements. More
detailed information is shown in Figure 4.
It has been tested that GCLSI’s Modules can withstand the loads of 2400 Pa, 3800 Pa
and 5400 Pa (IEC 61215 Standard), which are respectively equivalent to 1600 Pa (0.232
psi), 2500 Pa (0.363 psi) and 3600 Pa (0.522 psi) under UL1703 Standard, when dierent
installation methods are used.
