Installation guide solar modules

6.1

 

Electrical Connections 

Never open the connection box! The modules are already fitted with all necessary wires and connectors. 

 

 
 
CAUTION: 

 

System design should consider the potential increased power output (Pmax) and current (Isc) due to the 

modules  bifacial  abilities.  Additional  power  and  currents  beyond  the  STC  rating  are  possible.  See  the 

Electrical Specifications on the data sheet for electrical parameters in presence of albedo. All protections, 

wiring,  equipment  ratings,  and  inverters  should  be  sized  accordingly  o  the  product  ratings,  maximum 

expected output and required protection factors. 

 

6.2

 

Ensure correct wiring: 

o

 

Only  connect  modules  with  the  same  rated  current  in  series  and  modules  with  the  same  rated 

voltage in parallel.  

o

 

The modules may only be operated at the allowable system voltage; operation at a higher voltage 

is not recommended. 

o

 

The integrated connection cables are UV resistant. The conductor cross-section of the connection 

cables is 4 mm².  

o

 

For  wiring,  the  connection  cables  are  fitted  with  prefabricated  connectors,  which  are  protected 

against reverse polarity.  

o

 

Keep the total area of all conductor loops as low as possible in order to reduce the voltages due to 

indirect lightning strikes.  

o

 

Always  carry  out  a  careful  final  check  of  the  wiring  prior  to  commissioning  the  generator.  If  the 

measured open circuit voltage diverges from the default value, a wiring error has occurred. Check 

for correct polarity.  

o

 

Merge  the  connectors  together  correctly:  connectors  may  only  merged  together  when  dry.  Also 

make  sure  that  a  gap-free  connection  is  possible  and  to  respect  maximum  system  voltage 

calculated at the expected lower operating temperature  

o

 

When  connecting  the  modules  in  parallel,  a  corresponding  overcurrent  protection  must  be  used. 

This can be achieved with direct current fuses, which prohibit return currents greater than 15 A. 

o

 

Furthermore,  the  connection  requirements  and  design  regulations  of  the  inverter  manufacturer 

must be observed. 

o

 

With multi rows structure, connect horizontal series of modules to different MPPT to reduce losses 

due to mismatch on reflected light on back side    

 

6.3

 

Only use suitable materials: 

The system may only be wired using special solar wires and suitable connectors. It is very important that all 

necessary  materials  are  in  a  flawless  electrical  and  mechanical  condition.  Only  use  single  core  wires  and
