Note:
Clearance between modules frames and surface of the wall or roof is required to prevent wiring damage and to
allow air to circulate behind the module. Recommended stand-off height is 115mm.
Do not mount SPV modules in such way that drain holes of modules are blocked.
We recommend to use the landscape and portrait orientation to install the module, Please note the diagram below
when install:
6.2 GROUNDING
All module frames and mounting racks must be properly grounded in accordance with appropriate respective
national electrical code.
Proper grounding is achieved by bonding the module frame(s) and all metallic structural members together
continuously using a suitable grounding conductor. Grounding conductor or strap may be copper, copper alloy,
or other material acceptable for use as an electrical conductor per respective National Electrical Codes. The
grounding conductor must then make a connection to earth using a suitable earth ground electrode.
We recommend to use the following methods to ground properly:
