GENERAL SAFETY
Follow all permission, installation
and inspection requirements.
Before installing modules, contact the
●
appropriate
authorities
permissions, installation, and inspection
requirements which should be followed.
Electrically ground modules for all
●
systems of any voltage. If not otherwise
specified,

recommended
requirements
of
the
Electrical Code (USA) or Canadian Electric
Code (Canada) or other national or
international electrical standards be used.
Be sure that the construction or structure
●
(roof, façade, etc.) where the modules are
being installed, has enough strength. For
modules
mounted
on
construction or structures may be required
to help provide proper installation. Both
roof construction and module installation
design have an effect on the fire resistance
of a building. Improper installation may
contribute to fire hazards.
devices such as ground fault, fuses, and
disconnects may be required.
Do not use modules of different
●
specifications in the same system.
·
Follow all safety precautions of other
●
system components used.
UL Listing Information:
To satisfy UL requirements, when
installing the modules, be sure to:
1) Use only stranded or solid copper
single –conductor type UF cable or USE
cable,
rated
sunlight
modules and interconnect wiring that is
exposed to weather.
2) Observe the requirements described in
sections labeled INSTALLTION and
SPECIFICATIONS.
3)
Grounding of the module frame is
required.
When ground wires greater
2
than 6mm
(No.10 AWG) are required,
the installer will need to provide suitable
terminal connectors.
INSTALLATION
General
Please read this guide completely before
●
installation or use of the modules. This section
contains electrical and mechanical specifications
needed before using your SANYO PV modules.
Modules should be firmly fixed in place in a
●
manner suitable to withstand all expected loads,
including wind and snow loads.
The drilling and addition of ground holes is
●
permitted, but should be avoided whenever possible
to avoid damage to the module. When additional
ground holes are necessary, they must not penetrate
the inner side of the aluminum frame. Caution is
advised to avoid accidentally drilling, scratching, or
penetrating the back surface of the module.
If required, it is recommended to add
additional ground holes to the outer
aluminum lip area of the module. In such
case, additional ground holes must be at
to
determine
least 65㎜ away from any frame corner.
The appropriate material should be
●
used for mounting hardware to prevent
the module frame, mounting structure,
and hardware itself from corrosion.

Figure 1. Installation
An installation location with conditions
exceeding SOC or with other Special
Conditions (see below) should be avoided.
SOC of SANYO modules is as follows:
1. Standard Operating Conditions
(1) The modules should be operated only
in terrestrial applications. No space or
other Special Conditions (see below).
(2) The measured ambient temperature
of the installation location should be
within –20℃ (-4
°
F) to 40℃ (104
The lower and upper temperature limit
is defined as the monthly average low
or high of the installation location.
(3) The relative humidity should be within
45% to 95%.
(4)The installation place should be less
than 1,000m (3,280ft) above sea level.
Installations more than 1,000m (3,280ft)
are allowed only if the wind pressure
load for
a module is less than
2,400N/m
2
(50PSF).
2. Special Conditions
( 1 )
The ambient temperature of the
installation place exceeds SOC.
(2)
The salt damage is heavy at the
installation place.
(3) The hail and snow damage is heavy
at the installation place.
(4) The sand and dust damage is heavy
at the installation place.
(5) The air pollution, chemically active
vapors, acid rain, and/or soot, etc. are
heavy at the installation place.
