1 INTRODUCTION Validity 2 PLANNING 2.1 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS For additional information see the relevant datasheet of the module provided at www.q-cells.us. These instructions are only valid for crystalline solar modules from the company Q CELLS as specified at chapter „2.1 Technical Specifications“. Q CELLS assumes no liability for damage resulting from failure to observe these instructions. Ä Please observe the wiring and dimensioning of the system.
2 PLANNING 2.2 REQUIREMENTS Installation Site Please note the following guidelines that apply to the installation site: • Solar modules are not explosion-proof and are not suitable for use in explosive environments. Ä Do not operate solar modules near highly flammable gas and vapors (e.g. gas tanks, gas stations). Ä Do not install modules in enclosed space. Ä Do not install modules in locations where they may be submerged in water (e.g. floodplains).

2 PLANNING 2.4 ELECTRICAL LAYOUT Module Selection For detailed key electrical data, please refer to the product data sheet for the respective product. (available at www.q-cells.us). Ä For maximum energy yields, mismatches of specified electric current (IMPP) of more than 5 % should be avoided for all modules connected in series. Safety Factor During normal operation, a module may generate a greater current and / or higher voltage than that determined under standardized test conditions.
3 INSTALLATION 3.1 SAFETY AND TRANSPORT NOTE! Module damage may occur! Ä Never lift or move the module with the connection cables or junction box. Ä Carry modules upright and horizontally as shown. NOTE! Module damage may occur! Ä Do not drop modules. 3 INSTALLATION 3.2 PREPARATION OF INSTALLATION NOTE! Module damage may occur! Ä Never step on modules. Ä Do not subject modules to any mechanical stress. Ä Do not allow any objects to fall onto modules.
3 INSTALLATION 3.3 MODULE INSTALLATION Option 1: Ä Fasten the module with 4 clamps in the specified clamping range, see Fig. 2, p. 7. Ä Tighten clamps according to manufacturer’s instructions. 4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 4.1 SAFETY Ä Maintain an interval of at least 0.39 in (10 mm) between two modules along the short side and 0.20 in (5 mm) along the long side. in ) 0.2mm (5 ) 0.39 in (10 mm Option 2: Ä Install the module at the 4 mounting points, see Fig. 2, p. 7.
4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 4.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION SAFETY DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! 4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 4.3 CONNECTION OF MODULES DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! Ä Electrical work may only be performed by qualified and skilled personnel (see page 3). Ä Ensure correct polarity. Ä Use solar cables for the connection at the junction box outlet. Ä Only interconnect connectors of the same type and manufacturer. Ä Use minimum No.
4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 4.4 AFTER INSTALLATION Ä Ensure that all necessary safety and functional tests have been carried out according to applicable standards. Ä Integrate the system into the existing lightening protection system in accordance with the applicable local regulations. 5 NOTE! Module damage may occur! Ä Ensure that the plug connections are secured away from any water-channelling surface. WARNING! Fire Risk! Ä Do not use light concentrators (e.g. mirrors or lenses).
6 FAULTS AND DEFECTS DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! Ä Do not attempt to fix any problems yourself (e.g. glass cracks, damaged cables). Ä Please contact an installer or Q CELLS Technical Customer Service Department. 7 DISPOSAL Ä Do not disconnect modules yourself. Ä Please commission a trade specialist. Ä Dispose of modules in accordance with the local disposal regulations.
8 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING NOTE! Module damage may occur! Ä Do not clean modules with water if there is a risk of frost. 0° Ä Free the substructure from any dirt and debris (leaves, bird nests, etc.).
