· Use adequate machinery and tools for unloading, unpacking and handling of the modules.
· If storage is necessary before installation, select a dry and ventilated place for it.
· Do not place the modules one on top of the other. · Before installation, make sure the electrical contacts
are clean and dry.
5. PREPARATION BEFORE INSTALLATION
5.1. INSTALLATION CONDITIONS The recommended conditions for the installation of EXIOM solar modules will be the following:

for installation, operation, and maintenance recommendations.
Most batteries generate hydrogen gas during charging, which can be explosive. Do not light matches or create sparks near the battery bank. When a battery is installed outdoors, it must be placed in a ventilated and insulated battery box specifically designed for that purpose. Do not install the PV module in a place where it will be submerged in water or continuously exposed to water.
5.3. TILT ANGLE SELECTION The tilt angle of the photovoltaic module is measured between the surface of the photovoltaic module and a horizontal ground surface. The photovoltaic module generates the maximum power output when directly facing the sun.

· Ambient temperature: From -40 ° C to 50 ° C. · Working temperature: From -40 ° C to 85 ° C. · Storage Temperature: From -20 ° C to 50 ° C. · Humidity:  85% RH. · Mechanical Load Pressure: 5400 Pa.

It will be the responsibility of the installer to carry out the pertinent load calculations that guarantee the stability of the system for the chosen design.

Figure 5.3.1. Tilt Angle.

Check the solar cell modules with irradiance of more than 600W/m2 and get the voltage. In case the voltage is ZERO, it should NOT be installed and please contact the
supplier.

5.2. SITE SELECTION EXIOM photovoltaic modules must be installed in a place where they will receive maximum sunlight throughout the year. In the northern hemisphere, the module must generally face south, and in the southern hemisphere, the modules must face north.
When choosing a site, avoid trees, buildings, or obstructions, which could cast shadows on the solar PV modules, especially during the winter months when the sun's arc is lower on the horizon. Shading causes a loss of output, although factory installed PV module bypass diodes will minimize such loss.
Do not install the PV module near open flames or flammable materials. When using solar modules to charge batteries, the battery must be installed in a way that protects the performance of the system and the safety of its users. Follow the battery manufacturer's guidelines

Figure 5.3.2. Tilt Angle Detail.
In stand-alone systems with batteries where the PV modules are connected to a permanent structure, the tilt angle of the PV modules should be selected to optimize performance based on seasonal load and sunlight. In general, if the PV output is adequate when the irradiance is low (for example, in winter), the chosen angle should be suitable for the rest of the year. In installations connected to the grid where the photovoltaic modules are fixed to a permanent structure, the photovoltaic modules must be tilted so that the energy production of the photovoltaic modules is maximized annually.

6. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The mounting of EXIOM photovoltaic solar modules is usually done by two methods, screws or clamps.
· The installation methods listed below are for reference, EXIOM does not provide any related mounting components. The installer will be responsible for the photovoltaic system, the installation and pertinent calculations to guarantee the safety and stability of the system.
· Previous installation, you must take into account: · Checking and cleaning the module if necessary. · Checking the serial numbers of the modules, these must match with those provided in the packing list.
· Special care must be taken when mounting solar modules in environments with a significant snow load probability and / or strong winds. The design must provide sufficient strength and meet local code requirements.

· Place the solar modules on the structure where they are to be installed, go through the panel frame
and the structure itself with the screw, using the
holes prepared for it, place a flat washer, a pressure washer and finally tighten the appropriate nut, exerting adequate pressure to fix the assembly. (You can see the union of the elements in figure 6.1.2.).

6.1. MOUNTING WITH BOLTS It is extremely important that the systems are installed only by qualified personnel and at least two people.

· The system involves electricity and can be dangerous if personnel are not familiar with proper safety procedures.
· Do not step on the module. · Although the modules are quite strong, the glass
can break (and the module will no longer function properly) if it is dropped or hit with tools or other objects. · The photovoltaic solar module has 8 holes, symmetrical between them for fixing to the structure. · ·
Figure 6.1.1. Rear of the FV Module

Figure 6.1.2. Screw Fixing Elements.
· The frame of the module is made of anodized aluminum and, therefore, corrosion may occur if the module is subjected to an aggressive environment (salinity, high degree of humidity ...) the frame in contact with the metal of the structure could generate electrolytic corrosion, to help avoid this process, PVC pieces can be placed between the frame of the solar module and the support structure.
· The frame of the solar module must be fixed to a supporting structure using M8 stainless steel elements.
· The screws must be fastened with a torque of between 15-20 Newton-meter (Nm).
· The module has been evaluated by TUV for mounting using the 8 mounting holes provided in the frame.
· The separation between modules should be 15 ± 2mm.
· All module frames must be grounded for safety reasons. The ground connections between the modules must be approved by a qualified electrician, the ground connection itself must be made by a qualified electrician. The ground wire must be at least the same size as the electrical conductors, ground wires of no less than 4 mm2 are recommended.

6.2. MOUNTING WITH CLAMPS
It is extremely important that the systems are installed only by qualified personnel and at least two people. · The system involves electricity and can be dangerous
if personnel are not familiar with proper safety procedures.

· Depending on local wind and snow loads, if excessive pressure loading is expected, additional clamps or brackets will be required to ensure the module can support that load.
· The applied torque value must be large enough to fix the modules consistently (check with your clamp or

7. WIRING AND CONNECTION

· Before this procedure, please read the operation instructions of the PV control system carefully.
· Partial shading of an individual module can cause a reverse voltage across the shaded module. Current

Regular inspections and maintenance of the modules will be required, especially during the warranty period. To ensure optimum performance, EXIOM recommends carrying out the following measures:
81. CLEANING OF MODULES The accumulation of dust or dirt on the front face of the modules will cause a decrease in energy production. · Clean the panels preferably twice a year if possible
(depending on site conditions) with a soft, dry or damp cloth as needed. · It is recommended to use neutral water to clean the glass of the modules, avoiding damage to the coating layer of the glass. · Never use abrasive material under any circumstances. · Cleaning is recommended during the first hours of the morning or the last hours of the day, when the solar radiation is low and the modules are at a lower temperature. · Never use chemicals when cleaning modules, as this can affect the module's warranty and power production.
8.2. VISUAL INSPECTION It is recommended to carry out periodic visual

10

inspections in search of possible defects, in case of findings, the following elements should be evaluated:
· If modules with slight cell color differences are observed at different angles, this is a normal phenomenon of modules with anti-reflective coating technology.
· If the glass is broken. · There are no sharp objects in contact with the
surfaces of the photovoltaic module. · Photovoltaic modules are not in the shadow of
unwanted obstacles. · Corrosion along the cell busbar. Corrosion is caused
by moisture intrusion into the rear of the module. · Check the rear for damage. · Check if the rear is burned. · Check if the screws and fasteners are tight, adjust
as required.
8.3. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE It is recommended to implement the following preventive maintenance every 6 months: · Check the junction box sealing for damage. · Examine the PV modules for signs of deterioration. · Check all wiring for possible damage from rodents,
weather, and that all connections are tight and free of corrosion. · Check for electrical leaks to ground.
9. CONTACTS
