SOLARWATT Panels

These instructions contain important notes on the installation, connection, maintenance and disposal of SOLARWATT modules.

General information

  • The installation and electrical wiring of PV modules may only be carried out by qualified personnel who are familiar with these activities due to their professional qualifications. 
     
  • For the use, installation, operation and maintenance of the other components, the installation instructions from the respective manufacturers apply.
     
  • Failure to observe these instructions will invalidate the guarantee and warranty of the modules.
     
  • Electrical and mechanical properties for each module type can be found on its data sheet.
     
  • The most important technical data under standard test conditions (STC) can also be found on the nameplate on the solar panel.
    STC: Solar cell temperature: 25°C, irradiation: 1,000 watts/m², Air Mass: 1.5 (corresponds to a solar elevation angle of 41.8°)

  • Remove parts or nameplates from the solar panel.
     
  • Open the junction box.
     
  • Modify or remove cables or frames.
