4. INSTALLATION CONDITION
4.1 SITE SELECTION AND WORK ENVIRONMENT
☆ In most applications, the PV modules should be installed in a locationwhere there is no shading
throughout the year. Please make sure that there are no obstructions in the surroundings ofthe site
of installation.
☆ EGING recommend that the PV modules should be installed in the place where the operating
temperature is from -20 ℃ to46 ℃ .The operating temperature is the maximum and minimum
monthly average temperature of the installation site. The limit of working temperatureis from -40℃
to 85℃.
☆ EGING PV modules must be mounted on proper structure or any other place which is suitable for
module installation(such as ground, roof and facade).
☆ Make sure flammable gases are not generated near the installation site.
☆ The PV modules should not be installed in flooded areas. The junction box should be on the higher
side ofthe module when it is mounted.
☆ Lightning protection is recommended for PV systems that are to be installed in locations with high
probability of lightning strikes.
☆ Take proper steps in order to maintain reliabilityand safety, in case the PV modules are used in
areas such as: Heavysnow areas / Extremely cold areas / Strong wind areas / Installationsover, or
near, water / Areas where installations are prone to salt waterdamage / Small islands or desert
areas.
☆ EGING suggests that modules should not be installed nor operated in areas where hail, snow,
sand, dust, air pollution, soot, etc., are excessive .Modules must not be sited in locations
where aggressive substances such as salt, salt mist ,salt-water, chemically active vapors, acid
rain, any other type of corrosive agent, could affect the safely the safely and/or performance
of the Modules.
☆ EGING PV modules have also passed salt mist corrosion test according to IEC60701. But
corrosion may occur in the module frame connecting to the bracket portion or the portion of ground
connection, those parts shall be prepared with anti-corrosion treatment before usage.
☆ If you are planning to use the PV modules where the salt water damagemay be possible, please
consult with EGING local agent first to determine anappropriate installation method, or to
determine whether the installation ispossible.

☆ EGING recommends that modules used or installed should be 2000 meters (altitude) at most.
4.2 TILT ANGLE
☆ The tilt angle of the PV module is the angle between the PVmodule and a horizontal ground
surface. The PV module generates themaximum output power when it faces the sun directly.
☆ In the NorthernHemisphere, the PV modules should typically face south, and in theSouthern
Hemisphere, the PV modules should typically face north.
☆ For the detailed installation angle, which is different in different area, may refer to the
recommendation of the experienced PV modules installation supplier.
☆ Modules mounted flat(0° tilt angle) is not suggested due to dust is easy to be accumulated
and affect power output. Dust building up on the surface of the modules can impair with
modules performance. EGING recommends installing the modules with a tilt angle of at least
9 degrees, making it easier for dust to be washed off by rain and more regular cleaning is not
required and water on the surface of module will not be accumulated, avoiding mouldy glass
caused to affect the degradation of the modules because of long time water collection on the
module surface.
5. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
5.1 WIRINGAND CABLES
☆ To ensure proper system operation and to maintain your warranty, observe the correct cable
connection polarity (Figures 2&3) when connecting the modules to a battery or to other modules.
If not connected correctly, the bypass diode could be destroyed.
☆ PV modules can be wired in series to increase voltage. Connect wires from the positive terminal
of one module to the negative terminal of the next module. Figure 2 shows modules connected in
series.
☆ Connect PV modules in parallel to increase current. Connect wires from the positive terminal of
one module to the positive terminal on the next module. Figure 3 shows modules connected.
5.2 CONNECTORS
☆ Keep connectors dry and clean, and ensure that connector caps are hand tight before
connecting the Modules.
☆ Do not attempt to make an electrical connection with wet, soiled, or otherwise faulty
connectors.
☆ Avoid sunlight exposure and water immersion of the connectors. Avoid allowing connectors
to rest on the ground.
☆ Faulty connections can result in arcs and electrical shock. Check that all electrical connections are
securely fastened. Make sure that all locking connectors are fully engaged and locked.
☆ The Suppliers and types of connectors should be in accordance with the Standard ICE 62852. For
more details, please see the CDF.
6. GROUNDING
☆ The framegrounding is considered within the requirement of local regulation at the site of
installation.
☆ When needed this grounding,please refer to below example of connection. Please be careful in
arranging the system ground so that the removal of one module from the circuit will not interrupt
the grounding of any other modules.The modules should be grounded to the same electrical point.
☆ Each PV module has grounding holes.Do not drill additional grounding holes on the frame.And
the negative pole of the module must be grounded.Otherwise, the module warrantymay be void.
☆ An example of acceptable ground connection using a screw, nut(hardware not provided) and
washer retaining a ground screw is shown in figure 4. The size of the grounding cable should be
decided by the professional person who responsible for electrical installation.In a connection of
this type, the hardware (such as a toothed locked washer / star washer) must score the frame
surface to make positive electrical contact with the frame. The ground wiremust be considered
within the requirement of local and regulation at the site of installation.
☆ If steel parts used for grounding purpose, steel parts must be plated,painted or enameled for
protection against corrosion before usage.
7. MECHANICAL GROUNDING
7.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENT
☆ Please make sure that all the information described in the installationmanual is proper for your
installation.Please review the descriptions and drawings carefully; not mounting the modules
according to one of these methods may void your warranty.These mounting methods are designed
for front side to allow module loading of 3600Pa and back side to allow module loading of
1600Pa(a safety factor of 1.5).
☆ Support structures that PV modules are mounted on should be rigid. EGING PV modules are
designed to secure their electric performance under the condition that they are mounted on rigid
support structures. Deformation of support structure may damage PV module with its electric
performance.
☆ If the modules are to be installed on the roof or wall of a building, the standoff method or the rack
method is recommended. Clearance between the module frames and surface of the wall or roof is
required to prevent the junction box from touching the mounting surface and to circulate cooling
air around the back of the module. The exact space size may be decided by the installer or the
system integrator based on the analysis of local weather and the specific roof structure involved.
☆ There are no limitations in the use of PV modules required to meet the building regulation
requirements, in particular those relating to external fire spread. The PV modules can be used in
concrete, slate or any other kinds of roofs which are strong enough and .the modules must be
installed appropriately. Module installation will (must) ensure weatherproofing.

7.2 InstallationMethods
☆ Please refer to below” Installation Methods.
8. MAINTENANCE
☆ The modules are designed for long life. The regular inspection and maintenance of the module must
be carried out especially during the warranty period. It is the responsibility user must bear. When the
module gets damaged, inform the supplier in time(usually 2 weeks).
☆ If the angle of the PV module is 9 degrees or more, normal rainfall is sufficient to keep the module
glass surface clean under most weather conditions. If dirt build-up becomes excessive, clean the glass
surface only with a soft cloth using water. If cleaning the back of the module is required, take utmost
care not to damage the back side materials. Do not use acidic or alkaline cleaning agent to wash the
modules.In order to ensure modules’ maximum power output, please clean the modules frequency.
☆ Do not trample on the module when wash it. Do the security work.
☆ In order to ensure the operation of the system, please check the connection of wiring and the state of
the jacket of wiresevery now and then.
☆ If modules (Slanting Installation) are covered with thick snow, especially, at the bottom of the module
surface, you shall take proper measures to remove the snow.
