Aiko Neostar 3P 490W - Installation Manual
Description
05 Installation Conditions
5.1 Location and working environment
PV modules are recommended to be installed in a -20℃ to 40℃environments, with a module operating temperature of -40℃ to 85℃, T98 rating of 70℃ and a humidity less than 85%RH.
Do not install PV modules in locations or areas where there is a risk of flooding, and do not install or place PV modules near open flame or flammable materials.
PV modules can be installed at 50m to 500m away from the seashore. In the case when theP V modules are installed within 50m to 500m distance from the seashore, the frame and related components need to be treated with anti-corrosion (Except for products that can be used in offshore or salt-affected areas, as confirmed and supplied by AIKO).
For rooftop installations, leave a safe working area between the edge of the roof and the external edge of the PV module array.
For rooftop installations, check the roof loads and make a construction organization plan to meet the applicable standards.
Ensure PV module is positioned to receive adequate sunlight and avoid shading the PV module surfaces in part or in whole (by trees, buildings etc.).
PV modules shall be installed in a well-ventilated position to ensure adequate air circulation on the back and sides of the PV module and allow immediate dissipation of heat produced during PV module operation, poor heat dissipation of the PV modules will decrease the output power and affect the overall power output of PV modules.
When PV modules suffer high wind or snow pressure, supports and fixings shall be designed according to local design standards to keep external loads within the maximum mechanical strength that PV modules can withstand.
In areas (coastal areas, factories, volcanic areas, farmlands) exposed to salt fog, sulfide or ammonia gas, corrosion can occur at the connection between the PV module and the racking or at the ground connection. Anti-corrosive materials (e.g., stainless steel or aluminum materials) must be used in contact with PV modules and the mounting position must be protected against rust (Except for products that can be used in offshore or salt-affected areas, as confirmed and supplied by AIKO).
After installing PV modules, measures such as grounding must be taken to ensure that the PV modules are protected against lightning strikes.
