1. INSTALLATION
The mounting method has been verified by SHARP and NOT
CERTIFIED by a third party organization. Please review the
descriptions and drawings carefully; not mounting the modules
according to one of these methods may void your guaranty.
These mounting methods are designed to allow module loading
of 2400Pa.
Mounting Using Frame Bolt Holes (Figures 1 & 2)
The modules may be fastened to a support using the bolt holes
in the bottom of the frames at location "C", as shown in Figure
1 (back view of the module) and Figure 2 (mounting detail). The
module should be fastened with four (4) M8 bolts.
Recommended torque is 12.5 Nm.
Mounting Using Clips on Long Edge of Module:
Long Edge Parallel to Array Rails (Figure 4)
The modules may be mounted using clips (clamps) designed
for solar modules as shown in Figures 3 and 4. Note that the
clip positions are important – the clip centerlines must be
between 110mm and 370mm from the end of the module.
The module must be supported along the length of the long
edge, and should overlap the array rail by at least 10mm. Note
that the mounting clips should meet the minimum dimensions
(catch width of 5mm and length of 38mm) as shown in Figure
3. The array rails must support the bottom of the frames and
must be continuous pieces (no breaks in the rail).
Mounting Using Clips on Long Edge of Module:
Long Edge Perpendicular to Array Rails (Figure 5)
The modules may also be mounted using clips on the long sides
of the module when the array rails are perpendicular to the long
sides, as shown in Figure 5. The clip centerlines must be
between 110mm and 370mm from the ends of the module. Note
that the mounting clips should meet the minimum dimensions
(catch width of 5mm and length of 38mm) shown in Figure 3.
The array rails must support the bottom of the frames and must
be continuous pieces (no breaks in the rail).

Conductor size: 4.0mm
, Cable type: XLPE cable (CE cable)
Maximum DC voltage: 1.8kV
Ambient temperature: -40°C to +90°C,
Maximum conductor temperature: 120 °C
Module configuration (Recommend)
# Maximum series configuration: please refer to Table 1
(This value is calculated under the condition of Voc at -40°C.)
# Maximum parallel configuration: (Parallel connection of each
string shall be conducted with following two options. Any other
parallel connections are prohibited.)
a) Case of using the diodes; 1 diode per maximum 2 parallel
strings (Connect a diode or more in series for every string
or every 2 parallel strings for protection of module from
reverse current over load.)
b) Case of using the fuses; 1 fuse per every string (Connect a
fuse for every single string for protection of module from
reverse current over load.)
Connection cables requirement
The module is fitted with SMK Corporation connectors
(CCT9901-2451F/CCT9901-2361F) which are mechanically
and electrically compatible with Multi-Contact AG
(PV-KST4/PV-KBT4) as of 7th April 2011. To extend the module
connecting leads, only use Multi-Contact AG
(PV-KST4/PV-KBT4), or SMK Corporation connectors under
the same series.
3. WARNING
Do not stand or step on the PV module (Glass, Frame, Film and
Junction box).
For PV modules with anti-reflective coating glass (ND-195R1S
to ND-175R1S), do not touch the glass since finger prints or
stains will easily mark the glass. If dirt build-up becomes
excessive, clean the glass surface with water only.
Rated electrical characteristics of Isc, Voc, are within ±10 percent of the indicated values and +5/-0 or +10/-0 percent of Pmax (power measurement tolerance: ± 3%), under STC (standard test conditions) (irradiance of
1000 W/m2, AM 1.5 spectrum, and a cell temperature of 25 °C (77°F)).

the condition of Voc at -40 °C.

Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module is likely
27
to experience conditions that produce more current
27
and/or voltage than reported at Standard Test Conditions.
Accordingly, the values of Isc and Voc marked on this
27
26
module should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when de-
termining component voltage ratings, conductor capaci-
26
ties, fuse sizes and size of controls connected to the
26
module output.

Application Class
27
This module is rated as "Application class A" according to
IEC61730.
"Application class A" means:

applications.
Modules rated for use in this application class may be
used in systems operating at greater than 50 V DC or
240 W, where general contact access is anticipated.
Modules qualified as application class A in IEC61730 are
considered to meet the requirements for safety class II.
FIRE RATING
This module is rated as "Fire safety class C" according to
IEC61730.
