3.1 Restrictions
SoliTek PV modules must be mounted on appropriate mounting structures positioned on suitable
buildings, the ground, or other structures suitable for PV modules (e.g. carports, building facades or
PV trackers). PV modules must not be mounted on moving vehicles of any kind. Modules must not
be installed in locations where they could be submerged in water.
Artificially concentrated light must not be directed on SoliTek PV modules.
3.2 Recommendations
SoliTek recommends that PV modules be mounted at a minimum tilt angle of 10 degrees to allow for
proper self-cleaning from rain.
Partial or complete shading of a PV module or modules can significantly reduce system performance.
SoliTek recommends minimizing the amount of shade throughout the year to increase the amount
of energy produced by the PV modules.
High system voltages could be induced in the event of an indirect lightning strike, which could cause
damage to PV system components. The open area of wire loops should be minimized; in order to
reduce the risk of lightning induced voltage surges.
Better module ventilation and shorter connection cables increase electrical energy production.
For bifacial modules:
It is recommended to increase PV panel height from the ground so that more light can travel beneath
the module and then reflect
The bifacial gain increases significantly if modules are installed above white (high albedo value), light
reflecting surfaces.
