To avoid the hazard of electric shock and injury, cover the entire front surface of the PV modules with a dense, opaque material such as a cardboard box, during installation and handling of the modules. [. . . ] · Modules should be firmly fixed in place in a manner suitable to withstand all expected loads, including wind and snow loads. · The drilling and addition of ground holes is permitted, but should be avoided whenever possible to avoid damage to the module. When additional ground holes are necessary, they must not penetrate the inner side of the aluminum frame. Caution is advised to avoid accidentally drilling, scratching, or penetrating the back sheet surface of the module. If required, it is recommended to add additional ground holes to the outer aluminum lip area of the module. In such case, additional ground holes must be at least 65 mm away from any frame corner. · For a non-integral module or panel, the assembly is to be mounted over a fire resistant roof covering rated for the application. · Appropriate material should be used for mounting hardware to prevent the module frame, mounting structure, and hardware itself from corrosion. · Install modules where they are not shaded by obstacles like buildings and trees. Especially pay attention to avoid partially shading the modules by objects during the daytime. · Please contact your SANYO Authorized Representative with questions regarding mounting profiles for modules if needed. Notes on Installation · Clearance of "10 cm" between the roof surface and module frame is required to allow cooling air to circulate around the back of the module. This also allows any condensation or moisture to dissipate. Install modules so that air can circulate between the roof and the module. · We recommend installation methods shown in Figure 1. In some areas, local electrical codes may govern the installation and use of PV modules. · To avoid the hazard of the electric shock and fire, do not contact and damage the back sheet of the module with mounting bolts. Operating Conditions SANYO recommends that modules be operated within the following Operating Conditions. An installation location with conditions beyond the Operating Conditions or with other Special Conditions (see below) should be avoided. Operating Conditions of SANYO modules are as follows: 1) The modules should be operated only in terrestrial applications. No space or other Special Conditions (see below). 2) The ambient temperature should be within ­20°C (-4°F) to 40°C (104°F).
