How do I install a solar photovoltaic system?

Installing solar photovoltaic systems requires specialized skills and knowledge. Installation should only be performed by qualified personnel. Before installing a solar photovoltaic system, installers should familiarize themselves with its mechanical and electrical requirements.

Which materials should be used to install photovoltaic modules?

JA Solar recommends that when installing modules at the seaside, stainless steel or aluminum materials should be used to contact the photovoltaic modules, and the installation parts should be well protected from corrosion. The tilt angle of the modules is measured between the surface of the modules and a horizontal ground surface.

How do I install JA Solar panels?

JA solar recommends installing the modules with a tilt angle of at least 10 degrees, making it easier for dust to be washed off by rain. Ensure the installation method and supporting system of modules is strong enough to make the modules can withstand all the load conditions. The Installer must provide this guarantee.

What is UL Standard 1703 for photovoltaic modules & panels?

An addendum to UL Standard 1703 “Flat Plate Photovoltaic Modules and Panels” recommends metal combinations not exceed an electrochemical potential difference of 0.6 Volts. The frame rails have pre-drilled holes marked with a grounding sign. These holes should be used for grounding purposes and must not be used for mounting the modules.

Can JA Solar modules be installed on a roof?

JA solar modules have been listed as Class A according to IEC 61730-2 standard. For roof installations, modules should be mounted over a fire resistant covering suitable for this application, with adequate ventilation between the modules backsheet and the mounting surface. Roof constructions and installations may affect the fire safety of building.

Can a rooftop PV system be installed on a roof?

Rooftop PV systems should only be installed on rooftop to be capable of handling the additional weighted load of PV system components, including modules, by a certified building specialist or engineer and have a formal structure of the complete analysis result.
