1. General Information
1.1 Overview
Thanks for choosing AE SOLAR PVmodules. In order to ensure the PV modules are installed correctly,
please read the following installation instructions carefully before modules are installed and used.
Please remember that these products generate electricity and certain safety measures need to be
taken to avoid danger.
Make sure the module array is designed in such a way not to exceed the maximum system voltage
of any system component such as connectors or inverters and only use compatible connectors of the
same type.
The assembly is to be mounted over a fire resistant roof covering rated for the application. Before
mounting the module, please consult your local building department to determine approved roofing
materials.
The modules are qualified for Class II: which can be used in systems operating at 50 V DC or >240W.
Where general contact access is anticapated; When the modules are for rooftop application, it is
nacessary to take the overall fire rating of the finished structure as wellas operation and maintenance
into account. The roofing PV system shall be installed after being evaluated by construction experts or
engineers and with official analysis results for the entire structure. It shall be proved capable of
supporting extra system bracked pressure, including PV module weight.
1.2 Warnings
□ PV modules generate DC electrical energy when exposed to sunlight or other light sources. Active
parts of module such as terminals can result in burns, sparks, and lethal shock.
□ Artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on
the module or panel.
□ Front protective glass is utilized on the module. Broken
solar module glass is an electrical safety hazard (may
cause electric shock or fire). These modules cannot be
repaired and should be replaced immediately.
□ To reduce the risk of electrical shocks or burns, modules
may be covered with an opaque material during installation to avoid injury.
□ The installation work of the PV array can only be done under the protection of sun-sheltering covers
or sunshades and only qualified person can install or perform maintenance work on this module.
□ Follow the battery manufacture’s recommendations if batteries are used with modules.
□ Do not use this module to replace or partly replace roofs and walls of living buildings.
□ Do not install modules where flammable gas may be present.
□ Do not remove any part installed by AE Solar or disassemble the module.
□ All instructions should be read and understood before attempting to install, wire, operate and
maintain the module.
□ Don’t lift up PV modules using the attached cables or the junction box.
□ Do not touch live terminals with bare hands. Use insulated tools for electrical connections.
□ All PV systems must be grounded to earth. If there is no special regulation, please follow the National
Electrical Code or other national code.
□ Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module is likely to experience conditions that produce more
current and/or voltage than reported at standard test conditions. Accordingly, the value of Isc and
Voc marked on the module should be multiplied by 1.25 when determining PV system component
voltage ratings, conductor current ratings, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to the PV output.
□ Once the PV module has been shipped to the installation site, all of the parts should be unpacked
properly with care.
□ Only the modules with the same type and the capacity should be connected in series inside the string.
□ During transporting modules, please attempt to minimize shock or vibration to the module, as this
may damage the module or lead to cell micro cracks.
□ During all transportation situations, never drop the module from a vehicle, house or hands. This will
damage module.
□ Do not clean the glass with chemicals. Only use tap water. Make sure the module surface
temperature is cool to the touch. Cleaning modules with cool water when module surface temp is
high may result in glass breakage.
□ Do not stand or step on the PV module like below pictures show. This is prohibited and there is a
risk of damage to the module and cause injury for you.
□ Do not disconnect modules from the circuit, when they are operating in the system and deriving electrical load.
□ When looking at PV modules with anti-reflection (AR) coating technology, it will be normal to see
some cells with a slight color difference at different angles. Modules with LRF(light reflective film)
and without LRF should not be built in the same array or roof.
□ Connector of junction box can not be contacted with oily substances, for example, lubricant, rust
inhibitor etc.
□ The maximum altitude the PV module is designed for ≤ 2000m.
□ Do not carry a module on your head, with the backsheet facing
towards to your helmet, if it is not avoidable, please make sure that,
the module is facing with the glass side to your helmet.
□ The maximum irradiance is 1300W/m2 for module with transparent and
white backsheet rear.
□ Meaning of crossed –out wheeled dustbin:
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste,
use separate collection facilities.
Contact your local government for information regarding the collection
systems available.
If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous
substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain,
damaging your health and well-being.
When replacing old appliances with new ones, the retailer is legally
obligated to take back your old appliance for disposals at least free of
charge.
2. Installation
2.1 Installation Safety
□ Always wear protective head gear, insulating gloves and safety shoes (with rubber soles).
□ Keep the PV module packed in the carton until installation.
□ Do not touch the PV module unnecessarily during installation. The glass surface and the frame may
be hot. There is a risk of burns and electric shock.
□ Do not work in rain, snow or windy conditions.
□ Due to the risk of electrical shock, do not perform any work if the terminals of the PV module are wet.
□ Use insulated tools and do not use wet tools.
□ When installing PV modules, do not drop any objects (e.g., PV modules or tools).
□ Make sure flammable gasses are not generated or present near the installation site.
□ Insert module connectors fully and correctly. An audible "click" sound should be heard. This sounds
confirms the connectors are fully seated. Check all connections.
□ The module leads should be securely fastened to the module frame, Wire Management should be
done in a way to avoid the connector from scratching or impacting the back sheet of the module.
□ Do not touch the junction box and the end of the interconnect cables (connectors) with bare hands
during installation or under sunlight, regardless if the PV module is connected to or disconnected
from the system.
□ Do not expose the PV module to excessive loads on the surface of the PV module or twist the frame.
□ Do not hit or put excessive load on the glass or back sheet, this may break the cells or cause micro
cracks.
□ During the installation or operation, don’t use sharp tools to wipe the back sheet and glass. Scratches
can appear on the module.
□ Do not drill holes in the frame. It may cause corrosion of the frame.
□ When installing modules on roof mounted structures, please try to follow the “from top to bottom”
and/or “from left to right” principle, and don’t step on the module. This will damage the module and
would be dangerous for personal safety fire tested according ANSI-UL-790:2004.
Solar PV modules usually can be mounted by using the following methods: bolts and clamps.
Note:
1) All installation methods herein are only for reference, and AE solar will not provide related mounting
components, the system installer or trained professional personnel must be responsible for the PV
system’s design, installation, and mechanical load calculation and security of the system.
2) Before installation, the following items should be addressed:
a) Visually check the module for any damage. Clean the module if any dirt or residue remains from
shipping .
b) Check if module serial number stickers match.
3) AE Solar modules are designed to meet a maximum positive (or downward) pressure of 3600Pa (Only
referring to the mentioned module type in this manual) and negative (or upward) pressure of 3600Pa.
This design load was then tested with a safety factor of 1.5 times. AE Solar modules are tested under a
maximum downward pressure of 5400Pa and upward pressure of 5400Pa. When mounting modules
in snow-prone or high-wind environments, special care should be taken to mount the modules in a
manner that provides sufficient design strength while meeting local code requirements.
Please take in note, that the limitation of Tilt angle/slope is maximum 60°. According to IEC
61215, solar modules are rated as a class C Flame-Spread Ratings product according to
NSF/ANSI 342 standards.
2.3.1 Mounting with Bolts
For mounting with bolts, the following modules in tables 1 are applicable.
The frame of each module has 8 mounting holes (Length* Width: 14mm*9mm) used to secure the
modules to support structure. Always use all the eight mounting holes to secure the modules. The
module frame must be attached to a mounting rail using M8 corrosion-proof bolts together with spring
washers and flat washers in eight symmetrical locations on the PV module. The applied torque value
should be big enough to fix the modules steadily. The reference value for M8 bolt is 16~20N*m. As to
special support system or special installation requirement, please reconfirm with the support’s supplier
for the torque value. Please find detailed mounting information in the below illustration as Figure 2&3&4.

overheating for large current. Please pay attention to the temperature limit of cables is 85℃.
e) All module frames and mounting racks must be properly equipotentially bonded in accordance with
module frame using the local and national electrical codes. Attach the equipment equipotentiall bonded
conductor to the hole and hardware provided. Note that a stainless steel star washer is used between the
ground wire and module frame (see Figure 10 below).This washer is used to avoid corrosion due to
dissimilar metals. Tighten the screw securely.
The maximum allowed quantity of modules in string connection shall be calculated according to relative
ragulations. The open circuit voltage value under the expected lowest temperature shall not exceed the
maximum system voltage value allowed by modules and other values required by DC electric parts
(maximum system voltage is DC1000V/DC1500V— actually system voltage is designed based on the
selected module and inverter model.)
The VOC factor can be calculated by the following formula. CVoc=1-βVocx(25-T)
T: The expected lowest temperature of the imstallation site,
β; VOC temperature coefficient (%/C)(refer to modules data sheet for further detail)
if there is reverse current exceeding the maximum fuse current flowing through the module, use
overcurrent protection device with the same specifications to protect the module; if the parallel
connection are more than 2, there must be an overcurrent protection device on each string of module.

h) The cable of the junction box is defined as L, as showed below in Figure 11. For AE Solar standard full
cell module, L is 900/1200mm; for AE Solar standard half cell module, L is 350mm; and for customized
module, L can be based on your condition. Please take the cable length into consideration before
MC 4
i) It is recommend to use negatively grounded inverters to avoid the PID effect for non-PID free
modules.
j) If modules are connected in series, the total voltage is equal to the sum of individual voltages. The
recommended as below,
System voltage≥N*Voc[1+TCVoc* (Tmin-25)]
Where
N module numbers in series
Voc Open circuit voltage (refer to product label or data sheet)
TCVoc Temperature coefficient of open circuit voltage (refer to product label or data sheet)
Tmin Minimum ambient temperature
4. Maintenance and Care
It is required to perform regular inspection and maintenance of the modules, especially during the
warranty period. To ensure optimum module performance, AE Solar recommends the following maintenance
measures: 1000
4.1 Visual Inspection
Inspect the modules visually to find if there are any visual defects, If there are, the following items should
be evaluated:
a) If modules are observed having slight cell color differences at different angles, this is a normal
phenomenon of modules with anti-reflection coating technology.
b) Whether the glass is broken.
c) No sharp objects are in contact with the PV module surfaces.
d) PV modules are not shaded by unwanted obstacles and; or foreign material.
e) Corrosion along the cells’ bus-bar. The corrosion is caused by moisture intrusion thought the module
back sheet. Check the back sheet for damage.
f) Check whether the back sheet is burn out.
g) Check if screws and mounting brackets are tight, adjust and tighten as necessary.
4.2 Cleaning
a) A build up of dust or dirt on the module(s) front face will result in a decreased energy output. Clean
the panel(s) preferably once per annum if possible (depend on site conditions) using a soft cloth dry
or damp, as necessary. Water with high mineral content may leave deposits on the glass surface
and is not recommended.
b) Never use abrasive material under any circumstances.
c) In order to reduce the potential for electrical and thermal shock, AE Solar recommends cleaning PV
modules during early morning or late afternoon hours when solar radiation is low and the modules
are cooler, especially in regions with hotter temperatures.
d) Never attempt to clean a PV module with broken glass or other signs of exposed wiring, as this
presents a shock hazard.
e) Never use chemicals when cleaning modules as this may affect the module warranty and energy
output.
The module electrical rating are measured under Standard Test Conditions, which are 1000W/m2,
irradiance with AM 1.5 spectrum and 25 deg (77F°) ambient temperature. The module might produce
more or less voltage or current than rated value in uncertainty condition.
