Mounting Instructions

Protecting the panels during installation

IMPORTANT:

• All work should be carried out in shade or inside out of direct sunlight. Use a towel or blanket on

top of the panel to reduce light exposure;

• Do not install the panels in windy or gusty conditions. Damage may result when handling or

carrying a panel, or a gusty wind may lift and carry a lightweight panel;

• Do not damage the top layers or underside surfaces as the performance and longevity of the PV

panel may be reduced if the surfaces are damaged;

• Do not store/stack other items underneath or on top of the panels;

• Avoid wearing sharp rings and jewellery during the installation;

• Avoid over-flexing the panels or repetitive flexing of panel;

• Avoid installing on a sunny day as adhesive/sealant can cure too quickly or surfaces, tools and

the panel can become too hot for normal handling;

• Ensure the panels are fully supported, especially in the sun. A partially supported panel will get a

permanent line crease between the supported and unsupported parts of the panel;

• If sharp or heavy objects are allowed to fall onto the panels, they can cause fractures in the cells;

Safety

• Work safely at heights. Ensure you have a sturdy, secure ladder;

• Use insulated tools;

• Ensure the panels are kept covered during installation;

• Wear appropriate footwear;

• Use gloves and other PPE where appropriate;

• Seek help where needed.

Panel Curvature (Flexibility)

The panel can be curved with a gentle radius to a maximum mid-point deflection of approximately

100mm over a length of 1.5m.

There can only be one axis of bending in a panel; Longitudinal OR Transverse.
