Ensure that the module is located appropriately: it must not be placed
beneath the shade of streetlights, trees, other buildings or even shade
produced by other modules. Electricity production can be considerably
reduced by the effect of shade.
Install the PV module allowing air to circulate freely (see also section 6
of this manual). This will facilitate the natural ventilation of the module.
The module is designed to work in temperatures between 40
ºC and
+85ºC ( 40ºF and +185ºF).
In addition, both polycrystalline and
monocrystalline modules produce more energy in lower temperatures.
Therefore, proper ventilation favors higher power generation.
It is important to orient the active surface of the modules towards the
south as much as possible in the northern hemisphere, and towards the
north as much as possible in the southern hemisphere.
The metal support structure for the photovoltaic modules should be
connected to ground in the manner indicated in the Low Voltage Directive
93/68/EEC and 2006/95/EEC and National Electrical Code.
Ensure that the cables of the installation that connect modules to other
modules, as well as those that lead to the load regulator, batteries or
any other part of the installation, are not too tight since this could damage
module connections or the cables themselves. Use cable ties or cable
clamps to fix the cables to the structure.
Do not leave connectors unplugged for long periods of time; dirt may
