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 on-
roof system must always be installed over a fire-
resistant surface . As the module is not regarded
as explosion-proof it must not be installed near in-
flammable gases and vapors e.g. close to gas con-
tainers, painting installations or gasoline stations .
Furthermore, 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 module
is neither subjected to artificially concentrated sun-
light, immersed in water or continuously splashed
with liquids . If the module is subjected to salt or
sulfur, corrosion may occur . By all means make
sure that the module is not subjected to abnormal
chemical exposure . Therefore, due to the expect-
ed emissions, installation in the immediate vicinity
of production facilities is not recommended .
The correct installation situation
It is very important that the module fulfills the tech-
nical requirements of the overall system . There-
fore, care must also be taken that the module is
not exposed to any negative mechanical or electri-
cal 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 . Beside
the module itself, the mounting system must also
be suited to the expected conditions at the loca-
tion of installation (snow, wind) and withstand them
easily . The bottom side of the module frame fea-
tures holes for draining precipitation water . Make
sure during installation that these holes retain their
function . When installing vertically the module's
junction box must face upwards .
Yield maintenance through optimal alignment
and inclination:
We advise you to familiarize yourself with the ap-
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 .
With modules connected in series, make sure that
all modules have the same alignment and inclina-
tion in order to avoid performance losses .
