Solar Energy
5.2
Storage and transport on the con-
struction site
A transport packaging unit contains 20 μm-Si plus
EU1510 solar modules, in which solar modules are
graded according to their performance class.
Do not transport opened boxes without using
transport securing devices.
The boxes are made of cardboard and will
no longer be rigid in extremely damp condi-
tions.
Secure module boxes to prevent them tip-
ping over when you are unloading them.
Danger!
A full transport packaging unit weighs over 500 Kg.
Place packaging units on a sufficiently strong sub-
structure and level, non-inclined surfaces only!
Note:
The front of the solar modules is labeled "Front" on
the outside of the packaging unit.
5.3
Checks before installation
Check power rating and model type informa-
tion on the module. Do not interconnect
modules which have different electrical
power ratings and are different model types.
Check that solar module cabling and cou-
plers are undamaged.
Check that the solar modules are undam-
aged. Do not install any defective modules.
Note:
It is strongly recommended to make an immediate re-
cord of any possible transport damage, so that you
can make a claim at a later stage.
5.4
Module installation
Two people are needed to lift the modules
out of their packaging and carry them to the
installation location.
Once in the installation location, depending
on the type of application (roof or ground-
mounted system), you either connect the
coupler system on the module to the electri-
cal system (see Electrical connection) or
mount the module in its installation position.
Fasten the solar module securely and per-
manently into position. You will find the fas-
tening torques and further detailed installa-
tion instructions in the mounting system sup-
plier's documentation.
Fasten cabling with UV-resistant materials in
a way that ensures that the connection cable
is relieved of any strain.
Warning!
Do not rest modules on a non-cushioned surface or
strike them against the substructure when transport-
ing or installing them!
Warning!
Do not use chemical substances as an aid to install
modules!
Warning!
Do not use the connecting cables or couplers to carry
solar modules under any circumstances!
