User manual SHARP NU-185-R1H INSTALLATION CRYSTALLINE MODULES

[. . . ] You have made an excellent decision by choosing a photovoltaic system from Sharp Solar ­ you have chosen quality, innovation and reliability. The solar power station from Sharp Solar is your very own state-of-the-art power source. Sharp Solar is one of the world's technological leaders in solar power and has 50 years of experience in solar technology. ⷠSharp Solar has a complete range of solar modules for all purposes ­ from monocrystalline and polycrystalline to microamorphous cells. [. . . ] When installing PV modules far above ground, do not drop any object (e. Make sure flammable gases are not generated near the installation site. Completely cover the PV module surface with an opaque material during PV module installation and wiring. Due to the risk of electrical shock, do not perform any work if the terminals of PV module are wet. Do not touch the terminal box and the end of output cables, the cable ends (connectors), with bare hands during installation or under sunlight, regardless of whether the PV module is connected to or disconnected from the system. Do not wear metallic jewelry which can cause electric shock during installation. Do not damage the back sheet of PV modules when fastening the PV modules to a support by bolts. Do not damage the surrounding PV modules or mounting structure when replacing a PV module. Drooping down of cables from the terminal box could possibly cause various problems such as animal biting, electricity leakage in puddle. Take proper measures for preventing the laminate (consisted of resin, cells, glass, back sheet, etc. Cables shall be located so that they will not be exposed to direct sunlight after installation to prevent degradation of cables. If batteries are used with modules, follow safety precautions of the battery manufacturer. In case of extreme snow build-up, the weight of the snow may cause the module's frame to deform. Take appropriate preventive measures to minimize any possible resulting damage. In most applications, the PV modules should be installed in a location where there is no shading throughout the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, the PV modules should typically face south, and in the Southern Hemisphere, the PV modules should typically face north. Please make sure that there are no obstructions in the surroundings of the site of installation. Please be careful in arranging the system ground so that the removal of one module from the circuit will not interrupt the grounding of any other modules. the modules should be grounded to the same electrical point as described below. Each PV module has a hole on the side frame for either a bolt, nut and washer grounding the module to the frame, a ground lug fastened by bolt or screw, or appropriate screw (hardware not provided). Near the hole for ground, either " " or "G" is indicated as ground symbol. An example of acceptable ground connection using a bolt, nut and washer retaining a ground lug is shown in figure 3. [. . . ] The module must be supported along the length of the long edge, and should overlap the array rail by at least 10 mm. note that the mounting clips should meet the minimum dimensions (catch width of 5 mm and length of 38 mm) as shown in Figure 2. The array rails must support the bottom of the frames and must be continuous pieces (no breaks in the rail). Mounting Using Clips on long edge of module: long edge Perpendicular to array Rails (figure 5) The modules may also be mounted using clips on the long sides of the module when the array rails are perpendicular to the long sides, as shown in Figure 5.
