How to connect Alko PV modules?

Adjacent modules may be side connected by placing the wire into the secondary beam. AlKO modules are designed certified according to IEC-61215 and IEC-61730. Modules are designed with safety class ll and fire class rating C. Before to handle and install AIKO PV module, read carefully and understand this Installation Manual.

Do PV modules need to be connected to ground?

PV module installation site is exposed to long-term humid conditions such as floating PV system. To reduce the risk of PID, on the modules DC connection site, it is recommended to connect the negative to ground. As part of the module design, an anodized corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy frame is used to provide rigidity.

What is the clamp size for a PV module?

For framed PV module, the clamp must overlap the module frame at least 8 mm (0.32 inch) but no more than 11 mm (0.43 inch). The cross section of clamp can be adjusted if the module is securely fastened. For frameless PV module, the clamp must overlap the module frame at maximum 15 mm (0.59 inch).

Can a racking system be used to ground a PV module?

This racking system may be used to ground and/or mount a PV module complying with UL 1703 only when the specic module has been evaluated for grounding and/or mounting in compliance with the included instructions. The system is a non-separately derived system.

Do PV modules have a switch?

Any contact of 30V or larger DC Voltage can be fatal. In case of no connected load or external circuits, modules can still produce voltage. Please use insulation tools and wear rubber gloves when operating modules in the sunlight. The PV modules do not have a switch.

How do I install a solar stack module?

Insert the middle clamps and tighten them. Insert the end clamps laterally in the pedestal. The end clamps are attached and then tightened at the height of the module frame. Modules should be installed to the Solar Stack pedestals with the manufacturer approved middle/end clamps.
