modules, are considered acceptable for use with AEG
solar modules, providing the mounting system does not
violate any other requirements of this manual.
Any mounting system limitations on inclination or
accessories required to maintain a specific System Fire
Class Rating should be clearly specified in the installation
instructions and corresponding certification of the
mounting system supplier.
When installing modules, ensure the supporting roof has
a fire resistant roof covering rated for the application.
The fire rating for this module is only valid when the
product is installed as specified in the mechanical
mounting instructions.
Do not install the solar panels in the proximity of sources
of flammable gases and vapors or open flames.

3. INSTALLATION

3.1 General remarks

AEG PV modules should be installed in a location where
they can receive the maximum amount of sunlight
throughout the year. In the Northern Hemisphere
modules should face south, while in the Southern
Hemisphere they should face north. The modules should
not be shaded at any time by trees, antennas, cables,
houses etc. If a module is shaded or even partially
shaded, it will fail to perform at ideal conditions and this
will result in lower power outputs.
AEG PV modules connected in series should be
installed at the same orientation and tilt angle. Diff erent
orientations or angles may cause a loss of power output
due to the change in sunlight exposure. Dust building
up on the surface of the modules can impair module
performance. Solar Solutions recommends installing the
modules with a tilt angle of at least 10 degrees, making it
easier for dust to be washed off by rain. When designing
the final layout of the modules in a photovoltaic system,
keep suitable access space to allow easy maintenance
and inspection works. Provide adequate ventilation
under the modules for cooling.
Always use structures and materials specifically
developed and certified for photovoltaic module

installation.
AEG PV modules must be installed and stored in the
following conditions:
Operating temperature
Extreme weather cond.
Storage temperature
Humidity
The maximum altitude the solar module is designed
for ≤ 2000m. Please consult the AEG technical support
for more information on the use of modules in special
climates, such as an altitude higher than 2000 m.
Do not carry out the installation in high winds and
prevent the falling of objects from the roof. Secure
the work area so that nobody on or beneath the
roof can be injured.
When installing a module on a roof or building, please
ensure that it is securely fastened and cannot fall as a
result of wind or snow loads.
The modules should not be immersed in liquid. Corrosion
risk incurs if the module is exposed to salt (i.e. marine
environments) or sulfur sources. The installation distance
of the modules to sea water or lakes should therefore be
at least 500 m unless otherwise specified. The module
should not be exposed to unusual chemical loads. For fire
safety indications, please see 2.4 "Fire safety".
Protect the solar modules from overvoltage, e.g. voltage
peaks of battery charges, generators, etc. If the module
has to be connected to a storage battery, all precautions
as prescribed by the battery manufacturer should be
taken into account

3.2 Mechanical installation

AEG PV modules can be installed in either landscape
or portrait orientation. Please consider the details
for individual module types as laid out in the next
paragraphs. In choosing the orientation, please keep in
mind the internal PV module bypass diode configuration
to ensure the optimum electrical behavior from any
potential shading over the module. Ensure modules
are not subjected to wind or snow loads exceeding the
maximum permissible loads, and are not subject to
From -30°C to +50°C
From -40°C to +85°C
Up to 30°C
Below 85% R.H.
