LIABILITY DISCLAIMER REC SOLAR PTE. LTD. accepts no liability for the usability and functionality of its photovoltaic panels if the instructions in this guide are not followed. Since compliance with this guide and the conditions and methods of installation, operation, use and maintenance of the panels are not checked or monitored by REC SOLAR PTE. LTD., REC SOLAR PTE. JD. accepts no liability for damage arisingfrom improper application or incorrect installation, use, operation or maintenance. This does not apply to damages due to a panel fault, in cases of loss of life, bodily injury or damage to health or in the event of a grossly negligent breach of obligations on the part of REC SOLAR PTE. LTD. and/or in the event of an intentional or grossly negligent breach of obligations by a legal representative or vicarious agent. RECTWnPeakSeries Ins allation Manual -UL 1703 RevB-03.15 ReENE-0S-0B-B ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS i) System Requirements REC TwinPeak panels are only for use where they meet the specific technical requirements of the complete system. Ensure other components do not cause mechanical or electrical damage to the panels. ii) Connection If panels are connected in series, they should have the same amp rating. If panels are connected in parallel, they should have the same voltage rating. iii) String configuration When using string configuration, plan and execute it according to inverter manufacturer's instructions. The number of panels connected to an inverter should be within the inverter voltage limits and operating range. Do not exceed the total system voltage permitted by the manufacturer, nor under any circumstance exceed the maximum system voltage of 1000 V. The maximum reverse current is 15 A and the maximum series fuse rating is 15 A. iv) Wiring layout To minimize voltage surges (e.g. indirect lightning strikes), cables of the same stringshould be bundled together so loops are as small as possible. String configurations must be checked before commissioning. If open circuit voltage (Voc) and short circuit current (Isc) deviate from specification, this may indicate a configuration fault. Correct DC polarity should be observed at all times. v) Junction box, connectors and materials The paneljunction box is rated IP67, the connectors are rated IP67 only when correctly connected. All connectors and cables must be secure and tight as well as electrically and mechanically sound. UV -resistant cables and connectors approved for outside use must be used. Conductor gauge must ensure DC power losses (voltage drop) are kept to a minimum (< 1%). Observe all local regulations when selecting cables. For field connections, use minimum 12 AWG (4 mm2) or copper wires insulated for a maximum operating temperature of 90°C. vi) Cable Management Cables must be secured using UV -resistant cable ties or other sunlight -resistant device. Loose and unsecured cables should be protected from damage (e.g. mechanical, abrasion, sharp objects, animals). As far as possible, avoid exposing cables to direct sunlight and permanent tension. REC prohibits any modification to the panel, including the cutting of cables in order to change the connector type or the opening of the junction box unless explicitly authorized by REC. Doing so will invalidate the warranty. vii) Electrical Ratings Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic panel is likely to experience conditions that produce more current and/or voltage than reported at STC. The requirements of the National Electric Code (NEC) in Article 690 must be followed to address these increased outputs. In installations not under the requirements of the NEC, the values of Isc and Voc marked on the panels must be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor ampacities, overcurrent device ratings and size of controls connected to the PV output. SAFETY MEASURES Wiring installation shall be in accordance with the NEC (or CSA C22.1, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations, Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 where applicable). All relevant electrical installation codes and regulations should be observed for regulations on working at heights and fall protection. i) Safety in the working area Installation of REC TwinPeak panels may involve working on a roof. Ensure all local regulations regarding working at heights are followed. Before beginning work on a photovoltaic system, ensure all working surfaces are structurally sound and capable of bearing the weight of employees and required equipment. Remember to isolate the system from the grid before carrying out any maintenance or repair work. ii) Preventing current generation Solar panels automatically generate current (electricity) when exposed to light. To prevent this, shield the system with a non -transparent cover during installation, maintenance or repair work. ii) Specific hazards of DC electricity Solar panels generate direct current (DC). Once current is flowing, breaking or opening a connection (e.g. removing DC cable from the inverter) can cause an electrical arc. Unlike low voltage AC wiring, DC arcs are not self -extinguishing. They are potentially lethal burn and fire hazards, capable of high temperatures that can destroy contacts and connectors: • Follow panel and inverter manufacturers' installation, handling and operating instructions • Remove/open the inverter AC fuse/circuit breaker before disconnecting from the public grid. Switch off or disconnect the inverter and wait for the time specified by the manufacturer before commencing work. High-voltage components need sufficient time to discharge. iv) Safety requirements The voltage produced by a single panel and panels connected in series (voltages added together) or in parallel (currents added together) can be dangerous. Although the fully insulated plug contacts on the panel's output cables provide touch -safe protection, the following points must be observed during handling to avoid the risk of sparking fire hazards, burns and lethal electric shocks. • Exercise extreme caution when wiring panels and look out for damaged or dirty cables etc. • Never insert metallic or other conductive objects into plugs or sockets. • Ensure that all electrical connections are completely dry before assembly. • Keep all materials, tools and working conditions dry and tidy. • Use appropriate safety equipment e.g. nonslip footwear, insulated gloves and insulated tools. • Solar panels produce current when exposed to sunlight. Do not connect the system to the inverter during solar exposure. A RECTMnPedderies Installation Manual -UL 1703 Rev B-0315 Ref: NE -0G03 -B MECHANICAL INSTALLATION .FIRE GUIDELINES REC TwinPeak panels have a Class C, Type 2 Fire classification. The fire rating of this panel is only valid when mounted in the manner specified in these mechanical mounting instructions. Utilize the following fire safety guidelines when installing REC TwinPeak panels: • Check with local authorities for fire safety guidelines and requirements for any building or structure onto which the panels will be installed. • The system design should ensure that it can be easily accessed in the event of a building fire. • Check with local authorities for applicable regulations concerning setbacks or other placement restrictions that may apply for roof -mounted arrays. • The use of DC ground fault interrupters is recommended. This may also be required by local and national codes. • All electrical appliances are a fire risk. The panel should therefore be mounted over a fire retardant roof covering rated for the application and a suitable distance of 4 in (100 mm) between the panel and the mounting surface, allowing free circulation of air beneath the panels, should be respected at all times. ORIENTATION To maximize system output, panels should be installed at the optimum orientation and tilt angle. The specifics of this depend on location and can be calculated by a qualified system designer. A lower angle of panel installation increases the requirement for regular cleaning. The optimal mounting position of panels results in the sun's rays falling perpendicular (i.e. at 90°) to the surface. All panels in a string should, wherever possible, have the same orientation and tilt to ensure the system does not underperform due to mismatched outputs. The panels must not be exposed to artificially concentrated sunlight. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS REC TwinPeak panels are designed to provide decades of durable and stable output. Ambient operating temperatures should be between -40 and 1857 (-40 and +85°C). The panels are not suitable for installation in potentially hazardous locations nor should they be installed in the following locations: • Near sources of flammable gases orvapors • Near open flames. • Under water or in water features. • Where exposed to sulfur e.g. near sulfur springs or volcanoes. • Where the panels may be exposed to harmful chemicals. AlkEnsure panels are not exposed to direct contact with salt water/spray and avoid installation in areas subject to high salt mist content e.g. coastal areas. PANEL HANDLING To avoid damage to the solar cells and other components, all solar panels should be handled with care. All warnings and instructions on the packaging should be observed. Follow these guidelines when unpacking, transporting or storing the panels: • Record the serial numbers prior to installation and note the information in the system documentation. • Carry the panels using both hands and avoid using the junction box as a grip. • Do not allow the panels to sag or bow under their own weight when being carried. • Do not subject the panels to loads or stresses e.g., leaning or placing heavy objects on them. • Do not stand on the panels or cause impact through dropping them. • Keep all electrical contacts clean and dry. • Store panels in a dry and properly ventilated room. • Do not apply force to the backsheet. • Avoid using sharp or pointed objects if panels require marking. • Never apply paints, adhesives or detergents to the back of the laminate. • Do not use any solar panel that is damaged or been tampered with. • Never attempt to disassemble the panels. If the panel front glass is broken or laminate back sheet is damaged, it can expose personnel to hazardous voltages. RECTwinPeakSerie; Installation Manual -UL1A13 RevB-0315 Ref. NE -05-08-B MOUNTING THE PANELS REC TwinPeak solar panels are designed for capturing solar radiation and are not suitable for installation as overhead or vertical glazing. ThgpaneIs are considered to be in compliance with UL 1703, only when the panel is mounted according to the the mounting instructions specified below. The RECjunction box on the back of the panel is protected to IP67 and hence panels can be mounted in any orientation. PANEL INSTALLATION i) Rail specifications RECTwinPeak panels are typically installed on a rail -based mounting system. There are different methods of installing an REC TwinPeak panel, each decribed below, depending on the design load of the array. The rails can run under the frame or parallel to the frame, directly under the clamping zones (fig la & lb). Ensure the mounting structure is able to withstand anticipated wind and snow loads. Fig. 1: Panel mounting options: (a) rails parallel to the long side (b) rails parallel to the short side A• Ensure a minimum distance of 4 in (100 mm) between the uppermost part of the roof and the lowest part of the panel to ensure sufficient �1 airflow beneath the panels, aiding cooling and boosting performance. The clamps should be fastened to C or H channel rails (fig. 2).

Fig. 8: Longs!A^^ � +I^^ I Fi9: Short side --+i- 6. vii) Short side mounting using clamps Mounting utilizing clamps on the two short sides of the panel have been found to be in compliance with UL 1703 requirements for a maximum design toad of 33.4 Ib5/ft2 (1600 Pa) (fig. 9). • Fix the panels so that the lower short side of the frame is supported by the mounting structure (to reduce risk of damages due to sliding snow load). • Clamps must be secured between a distance of 4.9 and 9.8 inches (125 – 250 mm) from the panel corner to the clamp edge. • Tightening torque must be tightened to 16 ft -lbs (21.7 Nm). • The minimum distance between the end clamp and the end of the rail is 1 in (25 mm). • Mechanical Ioadmust not exceed 33.4 lbs/ft(1600 Pa). • The overlap between support rail and frame must be a minimum of 1/4 in (6 mm). AIn areas of snow build-up, panels can be subjected to forces in excess of the stated limit even when snow depth does not appear extreme, causing damage to the framework. If the installation is likely to be affected, further suitable panel support is recommended on the lower row of panels. AEnsure the drainage holes are not covered by the mounting structure. ill) Mounting holes Mounting utilizing the fou r elongated holes (0.26 x 0.43 in (6.6 x 11 mm)) on the underside of the panel frame (at a distance of 17.72 in (450 mm) from the midpoint of the long side) have been found to comply with UL 1703 requirements.for a maximum design load of 75.2 lbs/ft2 (3600 Pa) (fig. 5). When mounting using mounting holes, the frame and panel edge must be supported by two transverse rails (fig, 1), of aluminium or galvanized steel to avoid galvanic corrosion and be appropriate for the local environment. These must be held in position by bolts and flange nuts according to the specifications below. If bought in a kit, do not use the washers and bottom mounted clips provided if they do not match the specifications below: Part Name - s- � _ Material: Specificatio , Bolt ASTM F593 (stainless steel) 1/4" x 20 - 5/8" Flange Nut ASTM F594 (stainless steel) 1/4"x 20 AInstall the above parts as shown in fig. 6.

This allows water caused by rain or snow melt to exit the frame easily and minimizes the damage caused by freezing and thawing. Ensure these holes are not covered by any part of the mounting structure. Fig. 7: Drainage holes viii) Grounding Fig. 10: Recommended grounding Star washer Grounding cable A panel with exposed conductive parts is considered to be in compliance with UL 1703 only when it is electrically grounded in accordance with the instructions presented below and the requirements of the National Electrical Code. Grounding is achieved through securement to the panel frame of the following UL Listed grounding Clips/ Lugs in combination with the REC TwinPeak panel(s). • Suitable grounding lugs must be used: Listed (KDER) ILSCO, GBL-4DBT (tin plated) (E34440). • Grounding cable size should be between 4-14 AWG (2.1 mm2-21.2mm2). • Attach grounds to the grounding holes in the panel frames. • Fix lug to the frame using a star washer (#10) and lock nut (#10), ensuring a conductive connection (fig. 10). Tighten according to manufacturer's instructions. if Where common grounding hardware (nuts, bolts, star washers, split -ring lock washers, flat washers and the like) are used to attach a listed grounding/bonding device, the attachment must be made in conformance with the grounding device manufacturer's instructions.

RECTvnnPeal,Sedes Installation Manual -lJL 1703 R -B-0315 Ref: NE -0G08-13 CONNECTIONS AND CONNECTORS In ordertp ensure durable and safe connections between panels and BOS equipment, the following instructions must be followed in order toprotect the electrical connections from the elements. More detailed information is given in the Guide to Best Practice -Connections and Connectors which can be found via the REC website Download Center (www.recgroup.com/downloads). CONNECTORS Connectors must be securelyjoined to each other according to the manufacturer's instructions. REC explicitly excludes the cutting of cables and replacement of connectors. If this causes an issue for a particular site, contact REC via www.recgroup.com for further advice The use of any chemicals or lubricants on the connectors or contacts must be carried out in line with the connector manufacturer's instructions PROTECTING THE CABLES • To prevent stress on thejunction box casing, ensure the cable exits thejunction box in a straight line before any bend in the cable. • The cables on REC TwinPeak panels have a minimum bending radius of 30 mm to avoid damage to the insulation (Fig. 9) • Ensure cables do not hang loose where they may be damaged through friction or stress, e.g., caused by wind or grazing animals • Shield connectors from falling or dropping water by locating them directly beneath a panel • Cables must be firmly secured to the structure, without overtightening, as this can deform the cable insulation < 2.4 in > Fig. ll: Minimum bend radius of 1.2 in (30 mm) Iv 7 SECURING CABLES AND CONNECTORS • When securing the connector, place it away from the mounting structure with sufficient air circulation all around. This allows the connector to dry effectively and avoids the risk of damage or degradation of the connection • Good practice is to secure the cable either side of the connectors, ensuring no stress is exerted on the connector casing or cable entry ATo enable correct cooling and drying of the connectors, do not add extra protection to the connector, e.g., heat shrink, grease or tape MAINTENANCE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS REC TwinPeak panels have been designed for easy maintenance. Normal rainfall will naturally clean the panels if installed at a sufficient angle. The need for cleaningwill vary dependent on location, rainfall, pollution and angle of installation - the lowerthe angle of installation, the more cleaningwill be required. To optimize electrical output it is recommended to clean the panels when dirt can be seen on the glass surface. Cleaning of the panel should be carried out in the early morning when the panels are cool to avoid thermal shock. If dirt remains on the panel, it may cause cel l shading which will reduce power output or even cause further damage. To clean either the front or rear of the panels, use only deionized water at ambient temperature and a sponge, microfiber cloth or a soft brush to wipe away the dirt (rainwater, tap water or diluted alcohol may also be used as a secondary solution). For further cleaning a mild, biological and biodegradable washing-up liquid may be used. When cleaning the panel, take care not to scratch the surface or introduce foreign elements that may cause damage. Ensure water used is free from grit and physical contaminants that may damage the panel. Always rinse the panel with plenty of water. If soiling remains, repeat the cleaning process. If stains require more effort to be removed, Iso -propyl alcohol of a concentration less than 10%. Acid or Alkali detergent may not be used Use of high pressure hoses or cleaners is not permitted as these may damage the panel, laminate or cells. Using a rubber squeegee, wipe the panel surface from the top downwards motion to remove any residual water from the panel glass. Panels can be left to dry in the air or wiped dry with a chamois. Avoid putting pressure on the panel surface when drying. For more information on cleaning REC panels, consult the Cleaning Information Sheet available to download from the online REC Installer Portal www. recgroup.com/installers. SYSTEM INSPECTION The system should be inspected regularly to ensure that: • Fasteners are secure, tight and free from corrosion. • Electrical connections are secure, tight, clean, and free of corrosion. • The mechanical integrity of the cables is intact. • Bonding points to ground are tight, secure and free from corrosion (which could break the continuity between the panels and ground). RECYCLING REC has made every effort to ensure panel packaging is kept to a minimum. The paper and cardboard packaging can be recycled and the protective wrapping and panel separating blocks are also recyclable in many areas. Please recycle accordingto local guidelines and regulations. FECT IrAeakSerie lrecallatimMar 1-1-41703 9 R vB-03.15 Ref.

This inverter offers a dual input section that processes two strings with independent Multiple Power Point Tracking (MPPT). This is especially useful for rooftop installations with two different orientations from two sub -arrays oriented in different directions, or unbalanced strings (for example: East and West). The dual -input sections with independent MPPT enable a more optimal energy harvesting condition. The high-speed MPPT offers real- time power tracking and improved energy harvesting. The flat efficiency curve ensures high - efficiency at all output levels allowing a consistent and stable performance across the entire input voltage and output power range. The transformerless operation gives the highest efficiency of up to 97.0 percent. The wide input voltage range makes the inverter suitable to low-power installations with reduced string size. This rugged, outdoor inverter has been designed to be a completely sealed unit, to withstand the harshest environmental conditions. Highlights — Single-phase and three-phase output grid connection — Wide input -voltage range for increased stringing flexibility and energy harvesting — The high-speed and precise MPPT algorithm offers real-time power tracking and improved energy harvesting — Outdoor NEMA 4X rated enclosure for unrestricted use under any environmental conditions — Integrated DC disconnect switch in compliance with international Standards (-S Version) Power and productivity „ 1111 for a better world T.
