Document Number: MAN-SSI-02 | SAFETY AND INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES
RECOMMENDED
A photovoltaic system composed of Silfab modules mount-
ed on a UL2703 certified mounting system should be evaluated
in combination with roof coverings in accordance with UL 1703
standard meet the requirements to achieve the specified System
Fire Type designation for a non-BIPIV module or panel.
For instance, if a listed mounting system with Class A System
rating is installed with type 1 modules, the photovoltaic system is
suitable to maintain the System Class A Fire Rating.
Any mounting system limitations on inclination or acces-
sories required to maintain a specified System Fire Class Rating
should be clearly specified in the installation instruction and
UL2703 certification of the mounting system supplier.
Recommended clearance distance of 115mm (4.5inch) (rec-
ommended) between module frame and the surface of the wall
or roof. Other mounting techniques may aect the UL Listing or
the fire class ratings.
