Installation_M.an-ual: MEMC Sily_antis_60 cell PV Modules -3_ofu <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />The purposeof thisiguideisto provide general in formation regarding the proper installation and handling of MEMC photovoltaic <br />modules thatserve residential, commercial, and,Industrial segments. System design, construction, and commissioning should be <br />performed by qualified personnel only. <br />To ensure system integrity, designers, installers and operators must'meet all mechanical andlelectrical requirements for the system and <br />its components: It is the responsibility of the system designerand installer to ensure that all codes and requirements are followed as <br />well. <br />Please review all the sections that pertain to proper installation o f modules listed in this Guide.The instructionsdetailed in thistguide <br />must be followed throughout the module's lifetime deployment. If you need additional information about thesa fe, proper use and <br />handling of MEMC photovoltaic module products, please contact MEMC. <br />2.0 PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES PRODUCT CODE <br />This guide is to be used for MEMC Silvantis 60 cell photovoltaic (PV) medule installation. Please referto the following module numbers <br />before using theguide: <br />Modules with tempered glass: MEMIC-M235AMA, MEMC-M240AMA, MEMC-M245AMA, MEMC-M250AMA, MEME-M255AMA <br />Modules wilh anti-reflective coating (AR coating or ARC): MEMC-M240AMC, MEMC-M245AMC, MEMC-M 250AMC, <br />MEMC-M255AMC, MEMC-M260AMC <br />Modules with corner cap and tempered glass: MEMC-M240LMA, MEMC-M250LMA, MEMC-M260LMA <br />Modules with corner Gap and anti-reAective coating: MEIVIC-M240LMC, MEMC-61250LMC, MEMC-M260LMC <br />3.0 MODULE OVERVIEW <br />MFM(- Silyantig Phnt·ni/nlt·Air mr·,rhileq rongivt nf a qpriec nf elertrirally interrnnnArtprl rryqtmilinp cilirnn colar rellq rhatarp qmlprl within <br />a laminated sheetof tempered glass superstrate* and EVA/back-sheet substrate. These laminates are secured inside an aluminum <br />frame to provide tigidity and a means for attachment to mounting sub-structures. The frames should not be modified or removed. <br />*Tempered glass may have AR coating. <br />Photovoltaic modulesare designed and constructed for outdoor use. Do notsubmerge modules in waterat anytime. <br />The frontand back of each module is labeled with a product barcode. Do notcover, remove or defacethese labels. This may <br />be required for product identification. <br />Damagetothe glass surfaceortheanti-reflectivecoating can impactthe poweroutput and overall efficiency'ofthe system. <br />Scratches, handling fnarks, or any damage to the glass surface must be avoided. <br />For best performanceand to avoid potential 'issues, keep the front side of the moduleclean and free o f obstructions including <br />covers, tape, adhesives, paint and debris. <br />3.1 STORAGE, UNPACKING, AND HANDLING <br />• Packaged modules must be stored in a dry and ventilated area. <br />• Packaged modules must not be exposed to rain, snow, hail dr other environmental conditions that may compromise the <br />packaging, materiala=nci the modules. <br />o Packaged modules must be on appropriate provided palletsand must not bestacked more than two pallet high for storage. <br />• Once the modules are opened, store modules in a dry and ventilated room. <br />• ModulesshouId never be stored in a wet environment. <br />Upon unpacking, do not carry a module by its wires orjunction box. Only carry a module by itsiframe with twoor more <br />people. <br />Preca u-tion should be takeh te avoid damage»the-glass surface with or without anti-reflective coating d weto improper- <br />handlingduring storageor unpacking. <br />© Copyright 2012 MEMC Electronic Material
