INTRODUCTION As the world leader in development and application of high technology ceramic/silica materials, Kyocera Corporation (KC) offers a wide range of highly efficient and reliable crystalline silicon solar photovoltaic (PV) power modules. Kyocera began to extensively research PV technology in 1975 and commenced manufacturing operations in 1978. Since then, Kyocera has supplied millions of cells and modules throughout the world. With years of experience and state-of-the-art technology, Kyocera provides the highest quality PV power modules in a range of sizes designed to meet the requirements of the most demanding energy and power users worldwide. 2. POWER MODULES Kyocera power modules consist of a series of electrically interconnected crystalline silicon solar cells. Which are permanently laminated within an ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA) pottant and encapsulated between a tempered glass cover plate and a poly-vinyl-flouride (PVF) back sheet. The entire laminate is secured within an anodized aluminum frame for structural strength, ease of installation, and to protect the cells from the most severe environmental conditions. 3. APPLICATIONS Kyocera modules are a reliable, virtually maintenance-free direct current (DC) power source, designed to operate most efficiently in sunlight. Kyocera modules are ideal to power remote homes, recreational vehicles, water pumps, telecommunication systems and many other applications either with or without the use of storage batteries. 4. WARNINGS Solar modules generate electricity when exposed to light. Arrays of many modules can cause lethal shock and burn hazards. Only authorized and trained personnel should have access to these modules. To reduce the risk of electrical shock or burns, modules may be covered with an opaque material during installation to avoid shocks or burns. Do not touch live terminals with bare hands. Use insulated tools for electrical connections. PERMIT . Before installing your solar system, contact local authorities to determine the necessary permit, installation and inspection requirements. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION . Systems should be installed by qualified personnel only. The system involves electricity, and can be dangerous if the personnel are not familiar with the appropriate safety procedures. . Do not step on the module. . Although KYOCERA modules are quite rugged, the glass can be broken (and the module will no longer work properly) if it is dropped or hit by tools or other objects. . Sunlight shall not be concentrated on the module. . The module frame is made of anodized aluminum, and therefore corrosion can occur if the module is subject to a salt water environment with contact to a rack of another type of metal.(Electrolysis Corrosion) If required, PVC or stainless steel washers can be placed between the solar module frame and support structure to prevent this type of corrosion. . The solar module frame must be attached to a support structure using .” or M6 stainless steel hardware in a minimum of four (4) places symmetrical on the solar module. The stainless steel hardware used for securing the module frame should secured with an applied torque of 6 foot-pounds (8 Newton-meters). . Module support structures that are to be used to support Kyocera Solar modules should be wind rated and approved for use by the appropriate local and civil codes prior to installation. GROUNDING . All module frames and mounting racks must be properly grounded in accordance with local and national electrical codes. INSPECTION . Follow the requirements of applicable local and national electrical codes. BATTERY . When solar modules are used to charge batteries, the battery must be installed in a manner which will protect the performance of the system and the safety of its users. Follow the battery manufacturer’s guidelines concerning installation, operation and maintenance recommendations. In general, the battery (or battery bank) should be away from the main flow of people and animal traffic. Select a battery site that is protected from sunlight, rain, snow, debris, and is well ventilated. Most batteries generate hydrogen gas when charging, which can be explosive. Do not light matches or create sparks near the battery bank. When a battery is installed outdoors, it should be placed in an insulated and ventilated battery case specifically designed for the purpose. 5. SITE SELECTION In most applications, KC modules should be installed in a location where they will receive maximum sunlight throughout the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, the modules should typically face south, and in the Southern Hemisphere, the modules should typically face north. Modules facing 30 degrees away from true South (or North) will lose approximately 10 to 15 per cent of their power output. If the module faces 60 degrees away from true South (or North), the power loss will be 20 to 30 per cent. When choosing a site, avoid trees, buildings or obstructions which could cast shadows on...
