Installation steps

NEOLITE™ photovoltaic system is a high performance product designed to facilitate installation onto weight

sensitive corrugated rooftops while ensuring consistent power output over the system’s lifetime.

WARNING: THIS IS NOT INSTALLATION NOTICE

Materials

Module NEOLITE™

Glue PV804

Double sided tape 3mm thickness

Tile spacer (3mm thickness)

Module “positioning toolkit”

Cabling and connectors

Corrugated rooftop structure

The corrugated rooftop structure needs to be NEW and to display dimension similar to the following figure:

Detail of the underlying corrugated rooftop structure compatible with the NEOLITE™system

The profile can also involve a “sandwich” structure coming with insulation for building designs with a controlled temperature environment.

Coating the structure is polyester type, polyurethane, polyurethane / polyamide or PVC (Anticorrosive primer on

application)

Preparing the installation site

While planing the installation of the NEOLITE™ system, we need to allocate enough space to facilitate acces during the electrical connection step of the modules and during their maintenance. In order to do so, we particularly recommend leaving a gap between the columns of modules where we find the junction boxes, as shown in the figure of the following section. We also recommend plotting the positioning of the modules with a marker.

3 WARNING!

Do not walk onto the modules, this will damage them!

Positioning the modules onto the rooftop

Modules are mounted in a landscape mode. They are not supplied with cables so you need to purchase them

separately (TYCO® SOLARLOCK Slim Line connectors).

Gluing steps

Modules are attached onto the corrugated rooftop by gluing according to the following critical process steps.

1. Marking 2. Cleaning 3. Application of the double sided tapes 4. Application of the glue 5. Application of the tile spacers 6. Aligning the “positioning toolkit” 7. Gluing the module NEOLITE™

Marking

Cleaning

We recommend using a cleaning agent (- compatible with the protective coating) used to effectively remove dust and grease from the top of the rooftop wave.

The cleaning needs to be completed over the 7 waves where the panel will be glued as described above.

A visual check is needed to ensure that the surface is dry, dust-free, grease-free or other visual signs of residues.

No need to clean the back-side of the module – though a visual check is recommended to spot dust, and to clean them if present.

5

Application of the double sided tape

Apply a strip of double sided tape on the top of each top wave of the rooftop, i.e. 7 by panel as shown above.

Application of the glue

You can use a high through-put glue dispenser (-electrical or compressed air) to facilitate its application.

Application of the tile spacers

Aligning the « positioning toolkit »

Gluing the module NEOLITE™

This is completed according to the following steps:

Carry the NEOLITE™ as shown in the picture

Adjust the NEOLITE™ onto the « positioning toolkit » making sure that all junction boxes are positioned on the same side

Positioning NEOLITE™ in the center of the toolkit

Rotate NEOLITE™ onto the top of the corrugated rooftop waves and onto the glue, applying then a slight pressure to ensure contact with the glue (- without squeezing out the glue).

Remove the strings and cardboard

Electrical Connection

Materials

Standard cabling and inverter as for other crystalline Photovoltaic installation

Steps

Prepare the cabling with the connectors attached

Connect the modules with short cables

9

Position long cables to connect the strings to the inverter

Note that no grounding is needed with this installation!

Maintenance and cleaning

We recommend regular visual inspection of the NEOLITE™ system.

Make sure that there is no dust or other debris that could cause partial shading of the modules and may

reduce the power output and increase the risk of hotspots.

The ETFE frontsheet used with NEOLITE™ comes with a lower surface tension than glass and can simply

be cleaned with water (no high pressure needed) with a temperature of less than 40°C.
