Ensure 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 onroof
system must always be installed over a fireresitant
surface. As the module is not regarded as explo-
sion-proof it must not be installed near inflammab-
le gases and vapors e.g. close to gas containers,
painting installations or gasoline stations. Further-
more, the module must not be installed next to
open fire and flammable materials.
Make sure that the surroundings are suitable:
The module is designed for use in temperate cli-
mate. Make sure that after installation the modu-
le is neither subjected to artificially concentrated
sunlight, immersed in water or continuously splas-
hed with liquids. By all means make sure that the
module is not subjected to abnormal chemical ex-
posure. Therefore, due to the expected emissions,
installation in the immediate vicinity of production
facilities is not recommended. Exposing the mo-
dule to extreme levels of salt or sulphur may lead
to corrosion.
The correct installation
situation
It is very important that the module fulfills the tech-
nical requirements of the overall system. Therefo-
re, 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.
The correct location for installation:
The module must not be installed as overhead
glazing or vertical glazing, e.g. on a facade. Be-
side 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 precipitati-
on water. Make sure during installation that these
holes retain their function.
Yield maintenance through optimal alignment
and inclination:
We advise you to familiarize yourself with the a
propriate alignment and inclination of the modules
prior to installation in order to ensure an optimal
system yield. The ideal conditions for the genera-
tion 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 inclinati-
on in order to avoid performance losses.
