LOCATION CONSIDERATIONS: For installations in sandy or muddy areas, for tall mounting poles, or for any mounting different from the situations described in these instructions, you will need to consult a local structural engineer. Large TRACK RACKSTM can receive significant wind loads, so a strong mounting pole and foundation is very important. The site should receive the maximum possible sunlight from AM to PM, Winter and Summer. Avoid shade from buildings and trees, including shade that may occur in other seasons. The height of the pole should result in adequate ground clearance for the mounted modules. CAUTION — Be careful working around the rack after installation on the pole. Some of the structural members may be at head level. • The customer provided pole is a 144" —180" length of 6" (nominal) schedule 40 steel pipe. (6-5/8" Outside Diameter — OD) Pole can be black or galvanized steel pipe. Note: Heavier schedule steel pipe (schedule 80, schedule 160 can be used as long. as OD is 6-5/8". • The minimum acceptable pole height above finished grade is 7 ft.. At 7 ft. the largest UTRF 120 will be approximately 6" above grade when the rack is tilted to the maximum winter angle when rotated to the extreme east or west stop. It is strongly recommended that the pole height be 8 to 10 ft. above grade. • The minimum recommended hole depth is 1/3 the pole length, 1/3 in the ground, 2/3 above the ground. Example: 5' below grade, 10' above grade, total of a 15' pole. • Center the pipe in the hole, and using a level, make sure pole is vertical. • Fill the hole with concrete (3000 -psi minimum strength), and check level of the pole. • The pole may be filled with concrete for added strength (only to approximate ground level). • Allow concrete and pole to set for a minimum of 36 hrs. before installing the tracker.

Kyocera began researching photovoltaics in 1975 and has supplied many thousands of modules throughout the world since 1978. Its years of experience and state-of- the-art technology have produced quality solar modules in a range of sizes to meet the energy needs of the growing solar market. 2. POWER MODULES Kyocera "KC" series modules come in various sizes to satisfy a full range of applications. Each module is made of multi- crystalline cells manufactured by the "casting" method. These cells cover nearly 100% of the module's surface. To protect the cells from the most severe - environmental conditions, they are encapsulated between a tempered glass cover and an EVA pottant with PVF back sheet. The entire laminate is installed in an anodized aluminum frame for structural strength and ease of installation. 3. APPLICATIONS Kyocera modules are a reliable, virtually maintenance free power supply, designed to operate efficiently in sunlight. Kyocera solar modules are ideal for charging storage batteries used to power remote homes, recreational vehicles, boats, telecommunication systems and other electric generation application. 4. MOUNTING SITE SELECTION The solar modules should be mounted in a location where they will receive maximum sunlight throughout the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, the modules should face south, and in the Southern Hemisphere, the modules should 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 the solar modules especially during the winter months when the arc of the sun is lowest over the horizon. 5. MODULE TILT ANGLE Solar modules produce the most power when they are pointed directly at the sun. For installations where the solar modules are mounted to a permanent structure, the solar modules should be tilted for optimum winter performance. As a rule, if the system power production is adequate in the winter, it will be satisfactory during the rest of the year. The module tilt angle is measured between the solar modules and the ground (Figure 1). FIGURE 1 MODULE SUNLIGHT ' XTILT HORIZONTAL RECOMENDED TILT ANGLES FOR A FIXED SYSTEM SITE LATITUDE IN DEGREES FIXED TILT ANGLE 0* TO 15 15* 15* TO 25' SAME AS LATITUDE 25* TO 30' LATITUDE + T 30° TO 35* LATITUDE + 10- 35' TO 40' LATITUDE + 15' 40' + LATITUDE + 20' , 6. MOUNTING THE MODULE The frame of each module has fourteen 7 mm 6 diameter mounting holes (Figure 2). These are used to secure the modules to the supporting structure. The example of a ground mounted structure is shown in Figure 3. The four holes close to the corners of the module are most often used for mounting. Clearance between the module frame and the mounting surface may be required to prevent the junction box from touching the surface, and to circulate cooling air around the back of the module. In case the modules will be mounted on the roof or wall of a building, the standoff method or the rack method are recommended. STANDOFF: The modules are supported parallel to the surface of the building wall or roof. Clearance between the module frames and surface of the wall or roof is required to pre- vent wiring damage and to allow air to circulate behind the module. The recommended standoff height is 4.5 in. (about 115 mm) If other mounting means are employed, this may affect the Listing For Fire Class Ratings. RACK: The supporting frame is used to mount modules at correct tilt angles. The modules are not designed for integral mounting as part of a roof or wall. The mounting design may have an impact on the fire resistance.

This box, on the back side of the module, is weatherproof and is designed to be used with standard wiring or conduit connections. Wiring methods should be in accordance to the NEC (National Electrical Code). Bypass diodes and cable clamps are included with each module when shipped from the factory. A. Open the "G" or "M" box cover by loosening the screws in the cover. (Figure 4 and 5) B. The wire typically used to interconnect the solar modules should be single or two conductor, from 10 AWG(5.26 mm2) up to 14 AWG(2.08 mm2) gauge stranded copper wire, in a "SUNLIGHT RESISTANT' jacket OF cable. This cable is suitable for applications where wiring is exposed to the direct rays of the sun. The maximum and minimum diameter of the cable that may be used with the cable connector are 8 mm and 6 mm respectively.

Remove approximately 1/2" of insulation on the ends of the wires and insert them under the appropriate "POSITIVE" or "NEGATIVE" terminal screws in the junction box. The wires should be installed with some slack; excess wire should be cut off. (Figure 7 and 8) Install cable with appropriate hardware in accordance with NEC Article 250 or national and international rules. F. Gently tighten the terminal screws. Do not overtighten, as the terminal can be damaged. G. The output wiring from the final module is generally run to a separate array junction box. In commercial system, this wiring from the array box to the next component (i.e. fuse box. or charge regulator, etc.) is generally run in conduit. The maximum electrical rating of an acceptable series fuse is 4 - 12 amperes. .FIGURE 10 SERIES WIRING 0 . POO 4 LO 9 10 911 q — + __J PARALLEL WIRING EXAMPLES OF WIRING DIAGRAM H. After completing the wiring between all boxes, Close and secure all the junction boxes. 8. GROUNDING We recommend you attach all module frames to an earth ground. Attach a separate ground wire to one of the extra mounting holes on the module frame with a self - tapping screw. The racks must also be grounded unless they are mechanically connected by nuts and bolts to the grounded modules. Grounding is achieved by securing the array frame for both roof and field mounted applications. Additionally, the array frame shall be installed in accordance with NEC Art 250. 3 9. BLOCKING DIODES Blocking diodes can prevent nighttime battery discharging caused and prevent modules from loss of array output and being damaged or destroyed by reverse current flow. KYOCERA modules do not contain a blocking diode when shipped from the factory, however most battery charging regulators do have this feature. 10. BYPASS DIODES Partial shading of an individual module in a 12 volt or higher "series" string (i.e. two or more modules) can cause .a reverse voltage across the shaded module. Current is then forced through the shaded area by the other modules in series. By having a bypass diode, the forced current will bypass the shaded module in a series circuit, thereby minimizing module heating and array current losses. For 12 -volt systems and higher: Each solar module junction box has a diagram illustrating the proper direction for the by- pass diode to be installed between two of the terminal screws (Figure 11, Figure 12). When the solar modules are connected as individual series strings first, and then these strings are connected in parallel, bypass diodes should be used in each junction box. This is the simplest wiring arrangement for most installations. At a minimum the bypass diodes must have the following electrical characteristics: • Rated Average Forward Current [IF(Av)] Above maximum system current at highest operating temperature. • Rated Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage [Vrrm] Above maximum system voltage at lowest operating temperature. FIGURE 11 o e 0 0 BYPASS DIODE MOUNTING OF BYPASS DIODES G -TYPE JUNCTION BOX FIGURE 12 ® ® O O BYPASS DIODE MOUNTING OF BYPASS DIODES M -TYPE JUNCTION BOX 11. MAINTENANCE Solar modules require very little maintenance. It is not un- common for a remote site to be checked but once per year. Under most conditions, normal rainfall is sufficient to keep the module glass clean. If dirt build-up becomes excessive, clean the glass with a soft cloth using mild detergent and water. Modules that are mounted, flat (O° tilt angle) should be cleaned more often, as they will not "self clean" as effectively as modules mounted at a 15° tilt or greater. Once a year, check the tightness of terminal screws and the general condition of the wiring. Also, check to be sure that mounting hardware is tight. Loose bolts could result in a damaged module or array. 12. WARNINGS Solar modules are live electrical power sources when ex- posed to light. Arrays of many modules can cause lethal shock and burn hazards. Solar modules should 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 frames 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 an- other type of metal. (Electrolytic Corrosion) GROUNDING • All module frames and mounting racks must be properly grounded in accordance with the appropriate electrical codes. INSPECTION • Follow the requirements of applicable National and local electrical safety 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. The battery 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 is explosive. Do not light matches or create sparks near the battery bank. When a battery is installed outdoors, it should be placed in an 4 insulated and ventilated battery case specifically designed for the purpose.

PV array Negative wiring Figure 2 DC PV Array Wire Connection Points (with no combiner board) / array Positive wiring 4 ©2000 XantrexlTrace Engineering 2.0 INSTALLATION Pre -Installation (continued) Grounding: AC Grounding The Trace ST unit should be connected to a grounded, permanent wiring system. DC Grounding The negative PV conductor should be bonded to the grounding system at only one point in the system. The size for the conductor is usually based on the size of the largest conductor in the DC system. Negative/ground bonding is accomplished by factory wired PVGFP breakers (when this option is installed) or a factory installed grounding block (when PVGFP is not installed). PV Arrays: The ST unit is optimized to work with 4 -each, 12 volt nominal crystalline PV modules in series (48 VDC nominal), or various combinations of amorphous, thin film PV modules. Ensure the PV array used in the system operates within the MPPT operational window. The solar array connected to the ST Series inverter should have a minimum of 50 volts DC open -circuit in full sunlight conditions. Crystalline solar arrays configured for 48 volts DC nominal will have a open -circuit voltage in the area of 84 volts DC in full sunlight'. The maximum peak power tracking (MPPT) software controls the output of the solar modules, under loaded conditions, in the 42-85 volts DC range (full inverter output power occurs between 52-85 VDC). Other array voltage will either not operate the inverter or will not allow maximum harvest of the sun's energy. WARNING: WHENEVER A PV ARRAY IS EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT, A SHOCK HAZARD EXISTS AT THE OUTPUT CABLES OR EXPOSED TERMINALS. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SHOCK DURING INSTALLATION, COVER THE ARRAY WITH AN OPAQUE (DARK) MATERIAL BEFORE MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.

Wire Routing: Determine all wire routes both to and from the Sun Tie. Possible routing considerations include: • AC input wiring from the main service panel to the ST • DC input wiring from the PV array to the ST • DC ground from the PV array to an external ground rod • All wiring and installation methods should conform to applicable electrical and building codes. • Pre -plan the wire and conduit runs. The DC terminal blocks accept up to a #6 AWG wire (ST1500 and ST2500) and #2 AWG* wire (ST1000 and ST2000); the AC circuit disconnects accept cable sizes up to #6 AWG. • For maximum safety, run AC and DC wires/cables in (separate) conduits. F::?' *NOTE: #2 AWG wire can only be used if the bottom knockouts are used. If punching side walls for wire routing, the largest wire for acceptable wire bend radius is #3 AWG maximum. WARNING: CHECK FOR EXISTING ELECTRICAL OR PLUMBING PRIOR TO DRILLING HOLES IN THE WALLS! 6 ©2000 XantrexlTrace Engineering 2.0 INSTALLATION Mounting: The ST unit must be mounted to a flat, vertical surface such as wallboard or wood siding. Installation onto wallboard or concrete requires the use of anchors to properly hold the screws. Outdoor installation requires the use of the optional rain shield (STRS) to prevent water from enter- ing the unit. WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THE SUN TIE UNIT OUTDOORS WITHOUT THE RAIN SHIELD HOOD. WATER ENTERING THE UNIT COULD CAUSE A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND CAUSE THE UNIT TO FAIL. FAILURE DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. Procedure WARNING: BEFORE DRILLING HOLES TO MOUNT THE SUN TIE, ENSURE THERE ARE NO ELECTRICAL WIRES OR PLUMBING IN THIS AREA. SINCE THIS UNIT IS INSTALLED CLOSE TO THE UTILITY ENTRANCE OR METER, THERE MAY BE A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF ELECTRICAL WIRES IN THE AREA. 1. Locate the area where the ST is to be installed. It should be as close to the utility service panel as possible. The bottom of the unit must be at least 36 inches from the floor or ground when mounted. 2. Using a level, place the mounting bracket up to the wall (in a horizontal position) and mark the area for the three screws (Figure 4A). To achieve the 36 inch height from the bottom of the ST unit to the ground, mount the bracket 70 inches from the ground. 3. If required, remove the bracket and drill the holes using a #10 (0.193 inch diameter) drill bit. Drill appropriately sized holes for anchors when installing on non -wood surfaces. 4. Mount the bracket to the wall using the screws and washers provided. If mounting to other than a wood wall or surface, use appropriate screws and anchors if required. 5.

If the solar array is located a considerable distance from the ST unit, then an additional ground rod must be installed close to the solar array for the most reliable lightning protection (Figure 136). The grounded frame of the solar array provides a direct route to dissipate lightning strikes via the close ground rod. Tie this ground rod to the main utility ground rod via a heavy gauge . (#8-6 AWG) bare copper wire which can be buried underground. Tieing these grounds together constitutes a single point ground and provides the best protection from lightning damage. Refer also to the NEC for specific grounding requirements.
