Trina Allmax M Plus Solar Module Installation Manual (IEC-UL)

Date: April, 2016 DOC: PS-M-0434 A Page - 4 - of 15
• Common hardware items such as nuts, bolts, star washers, lock washers and the like have not been evaluated for
electrical conductivity or for use as grounding devices and should be used only for maintaining mechanical
connections and holding electrical grounding devices in the proper position for electrical conductivity. Such devices,
where supplied with the module and evaluated through the requirements in UL1703, may be used for grounding
connections in accordance with the instructions provided with the module.
• Rated electrical characteristics are within ± 10 percent of measured values at Standard Test Conditions of 1000
W/m², 25°C cell temperature and AM 1.5 solar spectral irradiance.
• The fire rating of a Trina Solar PV module is valid only when mounted in the manner specified in the mechanical
mounting instructions of this installation manual.
• The module is considered to be in compliance with UL1703 only when the module is mounted in the manner
specified by the mounting instructions below.
• A module with exposed conductive parts is considered to be in compliance with UL1703 only when it is electrically
grounded in accordance with the instructions presented below and the requirements of the National Electrical Code
for UL listed products only.
• Any module without a frame (laminate) shall not be considered in compliance with the requirements of UL1703
unless the module is mounted with hardware that has been tested and evaluated with the module under this standard
or via a field inspection certifying that the installed module complies with the requirements of UL1703.
• The Type 1 and/or Type 2 modules with the specified constructions in the table below, when installed with a UL
listed mounting system that has been rated as a Class A System, is suitable to maintain the System Class A Fire
Rating.
