Mounting solar module with bolt
1. Lay solar module on installation frame.
2. Insert four stainless-steel bolts (M8)
through oblong holes
15 mm, see Fig. 3-1) in module frame.
3. Mount stainless-steel bolts
stainless-steel washers
steel lock washer
[7]
and one stainless-steel nut (M8)
on the mounting frame (recommended tight-
ening torque: 8 Nm).
3.2.2 Clamping on solar module
It is permissible to clamp the solar modules on
the long and short frame sections in the
approved clamping area (see Fig. 3-1).
The clamping pieces

Electrical installation
3.3.1 Electrical values
All relevant electrical values are specified on the sticker
on the reverse of the solar module.
Please note that a solar module can exceed the electrical
values specified on the sticker (under standard test con-
ditions, STC) under ordinary operating conditions. To
determine the rated voltage values of components, rated
current values of cables and sizes of fuses, the values for
[5]
short-circuit current (Isc) and open-circuit voltage (Voc)
specified on the sticker should therefore be multiplied by
a factor of 1.25.
The solar modules meet the requirements of User Class A
and can be used in freely accessible systems with more
than 50 V direct voltage (DC) or 240 W power.
The reverse current loadability of the solar modules is
20 A.
3.3.2 General safety instructions
| Carry out the cabling in accordance with the applicable
regulations.
| Make sure that the cables and connections are not
damaged. Protect the cables from damage.
Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire and injury
from electric arc.
| Do not disconnect connections under load.
| Ensure sufficient protection against contact
with live parts.
| Only use insulated tools.
3.3.3 Parallel and serial connection
Solar modules of the same design can be connected in
parallel. Solar modules from the Conergy PowerPlus
series are essentially designed for series connection.
