measurement  value  should  be  equal  to  the  sum  of  the  open-circuit  voltage  of  a 
single  module and  you will  find the rated voltage  in the technical specification of 
the type module you are using.

 

Low voltage troubleshooting. Identify the normal low voltage and fault low voltage. 
The  normal  low  voltage  mentioned  here  refers  to  the  decrease  of  the  open  circuit 
voltage  of  the  module  caused  by  the  temperature  increase  of  the  solar  cell  or  the 
decrease  of  the  irradiance.  Fault  Low  voltage  is  usually  caused  by  improper 
terminal connection or bypass diode damage. 

 

Blocking Diode and Bypass Diode Troubleshooting 

Blocking diodes could prevent current from flowing from the battery to the module 
when the module is not generating current. If you do not use the charge controller, 
it is recommended to use blocking diodes. About charge controller, please consult a 
professional dealer.

 

In the system, hot spot effect occurs when part of the  module is blocked and other 
parts  are  exposed  to  the  sunshine  and  thereby  lead  to  overheat  of  the  battery  and 
damage the  module.  Using  bypass diodes  in the  module  protects the  module  from 
being affected by this excessive reverse current. All modules those rated power are 
more than 55 watts have a bypass diode integrated in the junction box.

 

 

On-grid Electrical System 

Try to use the same modules in a photovoltaic system with maximum number of 
the modules.

 

 

(N)=V(max)/[Voc(atSTC)]  

Several  modules  in  series,  and  then  form  a  PV  array  in  parallel,  which  is 
particularly  suitable  for  high  voltage  situations.  If  the  modules  are  connected  in 
series,  the  total  voltage  is  equal  to  the  sum  of  the  voltages  of  the  individual 
modules. 

In the case of using  high current,  you can put several  PV  modules  in parallel, the 
total current is equal to the sum of the current of each module. 

The  module  can  provide  prefabricated  connectors  for  system's  electrical 
connections. As for cable size, type and temperature and other parameters’ choice, 
please refer to the relevant rules. 

The  cable  cross-section  surface  and  connector’s  size  must  meet  the  maximum 
system  short-circuit  current,  otherwise  the  cables  and  connectors  will  overheat 
because of excessive current and has the danger of burning! 

When installing, the junction box’s one end to be upward to avoid being rained.
