Panasonic EVERVOLT EVPV Series General Installation Manual
Safety Precautions
- All instructions should be read and understood before attempting to install, wire, operate, and maintain the
- The installation of modules requires a great degree of skill and should only be performed by qualified licensed professionals, including, without limitation, licensed contractors and licensed
- The installer assumes the risk of all injury that might occur during installation, including, without limitation, the risk of electric
- Before installing modules, contact the appropriate authorities to determine permissions, installation and inspection requirements, which should be followed.
- Be sure that the construction or structure (roof, ) where the modules are being installed has enough strength.
- Both roof construction and module installation design have an effect on the fire resistance of a building. Improper installation may contribute to fire hazards. Additional devices such as ground fault, fuses, and disconnects may be
- For a non-integral module or module, the assembly is to be mounted over a fire resistant roof covering rated for the
- For modules mounted on roofs, special construction or structures may be required to help provide proper installation support.
- Do not install the module where flammable gases or vapors are
- Do not use modules of different specifications in the same
- Followable safety precautions of other system components
In some areas, local electrical codes may govern the installation and use of modules.
Module Specifications
- Module specifications are shown in Table 1, 2 and Figure 1, 2, (Electrical specifications, mechanical specifications, module dimensions)
- Underseal conditions, a photovoltaic module may experience conditions that produce more current and/or voltage than reported at Standard Test Therefore, the Isc value of modules should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 to determine ampacity. An additional factor of 1.25 may be required for sizing conductors, fuses, disconnects, etc. Please refer to section 690.8 of the National Electric Code (NEC) for guidelines. The Voc must be factored according to the lowest recorded ambient temperature recorded for the location where the modules will be installed. Please refer to section 690.7 of the NEC for more information regarding voltage temperature factors.

MAINTENANCE
- IN order to maintain the optimum output of the module, quality and safety, please conduct periodic inspection or cleaning.
- The need for cleaning will vary dependent on location, rainfall, pollution levels and the angle of installation– the lower the angle of installation, the more cleaning will be
- Module cleaning must always be carried out when the modules are cool, g., early morning, to avoid breakage through thermal shock.
- Use of high pressure hoses or cleaners is not permitted as these may damage the modules, laminate or cells.
- Avoid putting pressure on the module surface when cleaning or drying, g., leaning, standing or resting buckets on it.
- Use only deionized water free from grit and physical contaminants, at ambient temperature and use a sponge, microfiber cloth or a soft brush to wipe away the dirt (rainwater, tap water or diluted alcohol may also be used as a secondary solution).
- For further cleaning a mild, biological and biodegradable washing-up liquid may be
- If stains require more effort to be removed, Isopropyl alcohol of a concentration less than 10% may be
- Using a soft rubber squeegee, wipe the module surface from the top downwards to remove any residual water from the module glass.
- Take care not to scratch the surface or introduce foreign elements that may cause damage to the module.
- Always rinse the module with plenty of Modules can be left to dry in the air or wiped dry with a clean and soft cloth or chamois.
When cleaning with washing-up liquid, it is recommended to start with smallest area and from the edge of solar modules in order to check no damage occurs to the glass.
