Safety information
JGeneral safety information
The operation and maintenance of a PV system
require a substantial level of technical knowledge.
Therefore, any work on the system may only be
carried out by qualified and authorized personnel.
Make sure to read these mounting instructions
carefully before installing, commissioning
or servicing the PV system and keep these
instructions in a well accessible location. Failure to
comply with these safety instructions may result in
personal injury and product damage. Please keep
children away!
We strive to be the leader in innovation and
research, while continuing to improve our
products.
For this reason we reserve the right to make
changes to this installation guide without prior
notice.
JImportant safety instructions
The use of these modules must comply with
original design purposes. The modules should not
be altered technically. When mounting, make sure
that the valid local building regulations, standards
and accident prevention regulations are adhered
to. Make sure that all required safety instructions
for the mounting and operation of any further
system components are also adhered to.
JWarning: Extreme Danger
due to electrical shock!
Solar modules generate electricity. When exposed
to light, a voltage occurs, which can be dangerous
and life-threatening. Even though the individual
modules generate a relatively low voltage of
50 V DC, the voltage will accumulate as soon as
several modules are connected in series. Modules
connected in parallel result in accumlation
of the currents. Although the fully insulated
plug contacts are designed to protect against
accidental contact, the following instructions must
be followed when handling the solar modules in
order to avoid combustion, spark formation and,
above all, fatal electrical shocks:
XNever insert electrically conducting pieces into
the plugs and sockets!
XDo not wear metallic jewelry during
mechanical and electrical installation!
XKeep the tools and work area dry! Only install
solar modules and wires with dry plugs and
sockets!
XMaintain utmost caution and care! When
working on the wires, always use both tools
and gloves which are insulated!
XDo not disassemble the modules! Never
remove parts or name plates fitted by the
manufacturer! Only use flawless modules! Do
not treat the back side of the modules with
sharp objects, paints or adhesives!
XDo not expose modules to artificially
concentrated sunlight
It is absolutely necessary that the wiring of the
modules is only carried out by qualified and
authorized personnel!

JWarning:
Danger due to high voltage!
Even in disconnected condition the inverter can
retain high voltages, which is a major shock
hazard. Therefore:
XBe very cautious when working with the
inverter and wires!
XAfter switching off the inverter as well as
before working on the inverter, make sure to
regulate the time intervals as recommended
by the manufacturer so that the high voltage
components can be discharged!
Make sure to adhere to the assembly regulations
of the inverter manufacturer!
JWarning:
Danger due to electric arc!
The solar modules generate a direct current when
exposed to light. When opening a closed circuit,
e.g. disconnecting the direct current wire from the
loaded inverter, a fatal electric arc may occur.
XNever disconnect the solar generator from the
inverter while the inverter is connected to the
grid!
XMake sure to use only flawless wire
connections! Connect wires seamlessly and
keep them free from dirt!
JElectrical installation
The solar modules are designed for use in PV
systems of application class A and are approved
for operation in systems with dangerous direct
current (more than 120 V DC in accordance
with EN 61730) and power. PV modules of this
application class are approved for operation in
installations with unrestricted access. Professional
and Vision modules from Solar-Fabrik AG, which
are qualified under EN 61730 and have been
properly installed, meet the requirements of
protection class II.
Safety information
J Transport, temporary storage
and safe unpacking
The modules are sensitive technical components,
which must be handled with utmost care.
Therefore, be particularly careful during transport
and temporary storage and leave the modules in
the package until they are used. Always lift and
carry the module with both hands and never carry
by means of the junction box.
Do not drop the modules or place them down
clumsily on a hard floor and/or on the module
corners. Do not place any objects on the modules.
Do not stack the modules without protection.
Avoid deflection of the modules. Do not walk on
the modules. Do not treat with sharp objects and
keep all electrical contact areas clean and dry.
For docum
entation purposes, the serial number should
be noted. If required, the modules should be
temporarily stored in a dry, ventilated room.
Clean, non-slip gloves must be worn during all
transport and installation work to prevent cut
injuries from the panel edges. Contamination
of the solar glass with fingerprints must also be
avoided, as this may damage the special coating
on the glass.
Please pay special attention to the warnings on
the package as well as on the enclosed unpacking
instructions!

Installing the module
JMake sure that the installation is
carried out safely:
Protect yourself and other persons from falling,
do not carry out the installation in heavy winds
and eliminate the risk of falling objects as much
as possible. Secure the work area in order to avoid
the endangerment or injury of persons.
JObserve the allowable maximum
mechanical loading:
Do not exceed the maximum mechanical loading
and make sure to consider location-specific
loads such as wind or snow. Remember that the
module might sag when loaded under certain
circumstances. In order to avoid damaging the
module by pointed or uneven structures, do not
place fasteners or cable ties between the rear of
the module and the cross section.
JEnsure that the modules are
grounded properly:
Under the terms of Solar-Fabrik AG, grounding of
the module frame (if present) and the mounting
rack is not required for fault-free operation.
To reduce the risk of electric shock (e.g. due to
static charge) as far as possible, Solar-Fabrik AG
recommends to ask an experienced installer to
carry out a proper grounding. If an external
lightning protection system has been already
installed, the PV system has to be integrated
in the existing lightning protection concept
by a specialist. Country-specific standards and
regulations must be observed.
The grounding connections between the modules
must be checked and accepted by a qualified
electrician. Furthermore, the main grounding may
only be connected by a qualified electrician.
In the USA and Canada, a grounding method
approved by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is
obligatory.
To provide proper grounding, an optimal electrical
conductivity is required. For this purpose,
grounding holes are provided at the rear of the
module frame (if present).These grounding holes
are marked by a stamped ground symbol.
Connect the grounding terminal only to the provided and
marked grounding holes at the rear of the module frame.
Grounding symbol:
For grounding we recommend the Solklip
grounding terminal with integrated thread-
cutting screw, (UL 467 approved, UL number
E69905), manufactured by Tyco Electronics.
Observe the additional instructions at www.
tycoelectronics.com. These grounding terminals
accommodate 4 mm² (AWG 12) and 6 mm²
(AWG 10) stripped solid copper wires. The wires
must not be cut, notched or scratched. No further
preparation is required.

JMounting of grounding terminal
on frame
The grounding terminal must be placed on the
frame in such a way that the screw touches the
grounding hole. Using a screwdriver, install the
screw into the grounding hole until its head is
flush with the base and the base is flush with the
frame.
Then, turn the screw another quarter or half turn.
The thread-cutting screw should be torqued by
20.4 lb in and 24,8 lb in (2.3 and 2.8 Nm).
JWire placement
Insert the cable into the wire slot. Then push in
the wire on both ends into the slot. (The wire slot
will cause the wire to be slightly curved as shown.)
JTermination
The slider must be engaged (slider covers the
base). Using cable clamps, move the slider over
the base until it covers the base. This terminates
the wire. To open the slider a slotted screwdriver
can be used.

Installing the module
JEnsure comprehensive fire
protection:
The installation of on-roof systems may influence
the fire safety of a building. Improperly installed
systems can present even more of a danger in
the case of fire. Therefore, the modules of an
on-roof system must always be installed over
a fire-resistant surface. As the module is not
regarded as explosion-proof it must not be
installed near inflammable gases and vapors e.g.
close to gas containers, painting installations or
gasoline stations. Furthermore, the module must
not be installed next to open fire and flammable
materials.
JMake sure that the surroundings
are suitable:
The module is designed for use in temperate
climate. Make sure that after installation
the module is neither subjected to artificially
concentrated sunlight, immersed in water or
continuously splashed with liquids. By all means
make sure that the module is not subjected to
abnormal chemical exposure. Therefore, due
to the expected emissions, installation in the
immediate vicinity of production facilities is not
recommended. Exposing the module to extreme
levels of salt or sulphur may lead to corrosion.
JThe correct installation situation
It is very important that the module fulfills the
technical requirements of the overall system.
Therefore, care must also be taken that the
module is not exposed to any negative mechanical
or electrical influence from other system
components. Only connect modules with the
same rated current in series and modules with
the same rated voltage in parallel. The modules
may only be operated at the allowable system
voltage; operation at a higher voltage is not
recommended.
JThe correct location for installation:
The module must not be installed as overhead
glazing or vertical glazing, e.g. on a facade.
Beside the module itself, the mounting system
must also be suited to the expected conditions
at the location of installation (snow, wind) and
withstand them easily. The bottom side of the
module frame (if present) features holes for
draining precipitation water. Make sure during
installation that these holes retain their function.
For portrait mounting, the junction box may be
mounted facing up or down on the underside
of the module. This applies to the Professional
60 series. Otherwise, the junction box must be
mounted facing upwards on the underside of the
module.
JYield maintenance through optimal
alignment and inclination:
We advise you to familiarize yourself with the
appropriate alignment and inclination of the
modules prior to installation in order to ensure
an optimal system yield. The ideal conditions for
the generation of electricity are accomplished
when the sun rays reach the generator surface
perpendicularly. For modules connected in a
series, make sure that all modules have the same
alignment and inclination in order to avoid
performance losses.

1408TU0710
JInstall the module in an area
free of shade:
Even a low degree of shading will have a negative
effect on the system yield. Therefore, the system
must be installed in a location without shading.
The module should never be shaded completely
during the whole year and be exposed to direct
sunlight for several hours per day even in less
favorable periods of the year.
JEnsure an appropriate ventilation
on back:
By an appropriate ventilation on the back, an
accumulation of heat with adverse effects on the
performance can be avoided.
JSecure attachment
To ensure that modules are installed correctly,
make sure to securely attach the modules at least
four points. Framed PV modules can be clamped
on both the short and long sides. Frameless Vision
modules must be clamped on the long sides and
cannot be installed with arbitrary clamp types.
Only special laminate clamps from Solar-Fabrik
AG may be used to mount the modules. Use of
unauthorised laminate clamps will render the
product and performance warranty void.
NOTE for Vision series:
The detailed installation instructions in the
separate installation manual must be observed, in
addition to the notes appearing here.
