User manual SHARP SA-200H

[. . . ] ⷠSharp Solar has a complete range of solar modules for all purposes ­ from monocrystalline and polycrystalline to microamorphous cells. Sharp Solar guarantees the safety, quality and value of your product over many years ­ the only thing we ask you to do is to register your modules with the serial number, so that we can send you the guarantee certificate. Register your modules quickly and easily at www. You can be proud of this certificate ­ and make use of extensive guarantee services at any time. [. . . ] Do not hit or put excessive load on the glass or back sheet. The PV cell is very thin and can be easily broken. Do not scratch or hit at the back sheet. Do not hit on the terminal box or do not pull the cables. Never touch terminal box or the end of output cables with bare hands when the PV module is irradiated. Cover the surface of PV module with cloth or other suitable sufficiently opaque material to isolate the PV module from incident light and handle the wires with rubber-gloved hands to avoid electric shock. Do not scratch the output cable or bend it with force. The insulation of output cable can break and may result in electricity leakage or shock. It may compromise the frame strength and cause corrosion of the frame. It may compromise the joint strength of PV module and cause corrosion. Do not touch the PV module with bare hands. ) from dropping out of the frame in case the glass is broken. 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. Take proper steps in order to maintain reliability and safety, in case the PV modules are used in areas such as: Heavy snow areas/Extremely cold areas/Strong wind areas/Installations over, or near, water/Areas where installations are prone to salt water damage(*)/Small islands or desert areas. (*) If you are planning to use the PV modules where the salt water damage may be possible, please consult with Sharp local agent first to determine an appropriate installation method, or to determine whether the installation is possible. The tilt angle of the PV module is the measured between the PV module and a horizontal ground surface. [. . . ] Mounting Using Clips on long edge of module: long edge Parallel to array Rails (figure 4) The modules may be mounted using clips (clamps) designed for solar modules as shown in Figures 2 and 4. Note that the clip positions are important ­ the clip centerlines must be between 150 mm and 410 mm from the end of the module. 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.
