(c) There are several ways to mount the modules, an example of acceptable mounting is shown in

Fig 5.

Prepare eight 8mm screws with washers and nuts on it. (Step A)

Put the module on the mounting structure carefully, one person should hold the module while a

second person adjusts the module to fit the mounting. Please ensure that you hold the module and

the mounting structure at the same level. Screw the screws into the mounting holds, and tighten the

screws. (Step B, Step C, Step D)

There are two 4mm holes on the module frame used for connecting the ground terminal. Please

connect the ground wire with the 4mm screw.

Fig. 5 An example of photovoltaic module mounting method

(d) Connecting the modules to the battery or to other modules by the way of a series connection or parallel

connection (Fig 6). Please use the same connector to connect with the modules. Only the male and female

connector can mate together. Be careful of the system voltage and current when you connected the

module together. The voltage should not exceed the maximum system operation voltage limit.

(e) Grounding: Module frames should be connected to ground for safety, protection from lightning, related

static discharge and isolated from live parts by reinforced insulation. Ground the modules with lugs (Fig 7)

or equipment grounding screws (Fig 8) on each module and mounting rails or some equivalent grounding

method. Equivalent grounding could be stainless or bi-metallic star washers bonding anodized aluminum

module frames to roof-mounted rails and attaching grounding wire to a lug on the rails. Another method (Fig

9) is to attach a bonding wire from each module to a lug on the rails with the grounding wire attached to a

lug on rails. The ground wire should be at least the same size as the electrical conductors.

(f) Wrong polarity cable connections will cause the bypass diode to be destroyed and void the warranty.

V. WIRING AND OVER CURRENT PROTECTION

(a) Wire Type: PV module interconnections should be 90 wet-rated conductors. An acceptable wire type is

USE-2, single conductor cable, for exposed applications.

The type of the cable is PV1-F and 1×4mm2, where the ambient temperature is -40℃ to +90℃.

(b) Conductor Amperage: Correct maximum current and amperage calculations should be provided for each

circuit. The amperage capacity of conductors must be sufficient for the application:

1. The maximum PV source circuit current is the sum of the parallel module rated short circuit currents,

multiplied by 125 percent.

2. The minimum source circuit conductor amperage is 125 percent of the maximum PV source circuit

current.

3. The minimum photovoltaic output circuit conductor amperage is the sum of the maximum current of the

parallel source circuits, times 1.25.

4. The minimum inverter output circuit conductor amperage must be equal or greater than the inverter

continuous output current rating, times 1.25.

(c) Over current Protection: Necessary fuses or circuit breakers must be properly sized and specified for each

circuit.

1. The source circuit over current protection must be sized so that both the PV module and the conductor

from the module to the over current device, are properly protected. PV modules must be protected so

that the maximum series fuse rating, printed on the listing label, is not exceeded. It is important to note

that even though the listing label states “fuse” rating, a more accurate term would be “the maximum

series over current protection rating” since either a fuse or a circuit breaker may be used to satisfy this

listing requirement. The module may be protected either by installing fuses or circuit breakers in a

series string of modules or by the design of the PV system.

2. Where batteries are used, the over current protection must be of a sufficient voltage and

ampere-interrupt rating (AIR) to withstand the operating conditions of the battery system.

3. The Inverter Output Circuit over current protection should be sized and protected according the

manufacturers directions. The circuit and corresponding over current protection should be sized at

125% of the maximum continuous output of the inverter. Please note that the inverter may also have a

maximum allowable over current requirement.

(d) In systems with more than two modules in series, high reverse current can flow through cells that are

shaded partially or outright when part of a module is shaded and the rest is exposed to the sun. These

currents can cause the affected cells to get very hot and could even damage the module.

To protect module from such high reverse currents, by-pass diodes are used in module. In the unlikely

event of diode failure, we recommend a qualified service technician be employed to determine if diodes

have failed and to make replacement.

VI. ARRAY MOUNTING WARNING

Before the PV array is mounted, the weight of the array (kilograms per square meter) including the weight of

the modules and all fixing hardware (e.g. modules, rails and associated hardware) must be calculated.

(a) If array is roof mounted:

1. If the weight distribution of the system is greater than 50kgs. per square meter, engineering calculations

are required.

2. If the roof structure more than 30 years old, please specify the rafter, truss sizes and spacing, to a

qualified engineer as engineering calculations may be required if the roof structure is non-standard.

3. It is strongly recommend that engineering details of the PV panel mounting to the roof framing members

be obtained prior to installation. Several well-engineered mounting systems are now available for installers

to use. These designs often include detailed engineering specifications and details. Installers who use

their own designs will need to provide their own details and engineering calculations with their design.

4. The PV module is to be mounted over a fire resistant roof covering rated for the application.

(b) If the array is ground mounted and the mounting structure is unfamiliar to the local jurisdiction and is more

than two meters above ground, it may require engineering calculations and council approvals.

(c) The maximum number of series and parallel modules are recommend as follows:

The number of series module (N) = Vmax system/ Voc (at STC)

The number of parallel module = 1 + I ( Max. over-current rating)/ Isc( short current)

VII. ELECTRICAL RATINGS

Rated electrical characteristic are within 10 percent of the indicated values of Isc, Voc, Pmax under Standard

Test Conditions (irradiance of 1000W/m2, AM1.5 spectrum, and a cell temperature of 25°C (77°F). The

warranty condition is specified in the warranty card separately issued.

(a)The above electrical characteristics are based on the results of on going tests. Please do not expose solar

modules to sunlight concentrated with mirrors, lenses or similar means. Under normal conditions, a

photovoltaic module may experience conditions that produce more current and /or voltage than reported at

Standard Test Conditions. Accordingly, the values of Isc and Voc marked on CE listed modules should be

multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor capacities, fuse sizes

and size of controls connected to the module output.

(b)Class A: Hazardous voltage (IEC 61730: higher than 50V DC; EN 61730: higher than 120V), Hazardous

power applications (higher than 240W) where general contact access is anticipated (Modules qualified for

safety through EN IEC 61730-1 and -2 within this application class are considered to meet the requirements

for Safety Class Ⅱ).

Modules rated for use in this application class, may be used in systems operating at greater than 50V DC or

240W, where general contact access is anticipated. Modules qualified for safety through this part of

IEC61730 and IEC61730-2 and within this application class are considered to meet the requirements for

safety class Ⅱ.

Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module is likely to experience conditions that produce more current

and/or voltage than reported at standard test conditions. Accordingly, the value of Isc and Voc marked on

this module should be multiplied by of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor current

ratings, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to the PV output.

Artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on the module.

1.The rules of preventing fire is dependent on the location.

2.The mounting design may have an impact on the fire resistance.

3.The recommended stand-off height is about 115 mm, If other mounting means are employed, this may

affect the Listing For Fire Class Ratings.

(c) Fire Safety Class C: When the fire rating is dependent on a specific mounting structure, specific spacing,

or specific means of attachment to the roof or structure, details of the specific parameter or parameters

shall be included in the instructions.

For a non-integral module, the assembly is to be mounted over a fire resistant roof covering, rated for fire

Safety Class C. The minimum mechanical means for securing the module to a roof is 2400pa wind

pressure.
