Secure the cables to the mounting system using UV-resistant cable ties. Protect exposed
cables from damage using suitable precautions. Avoid direct and extended exposure to
sunlight.

Wiring and Installation Guidelines
Please note the following instructions:
•
To ensure the correct orientation of the module, the module should face southwards
in the northern hemisphere and northwards in the southern hemisphere.
•
The module must be installed so that air can freely circulate around it. The cells’
working temperature will thus be reduced and, consequently, the module’s
performance will be enhanced.
•
Do not install modules in systemic and ongoing shade; this can cause the temperature
of exposed cells to rise, reducing output, and may stress conductive bonds in module.
•
The cross section for the conductors must be ensured that the voltage drop during
the installation does not exceed 2% of its nominal voltage.
•
BenQ Solar PV modules are supplied with or without cables, according to where they
are ordered. Should they be supplied without cables, it is recommended that cables
with cross sections between 4 and 10 mm2 be used.
•
The cables, which allow easy handling while providing high protection against
overloads and short-circuits, are formed by flexible Cu conductors, cross linked
insulated polyethylene and coated with polyvinyl chloride or similar insulation. The
insulation should be flame, acid and alkali resistant and should be stored in an area
free of any corrosive gases.

•
The modules should be installed and handled by qualified persons only.
•
Do not climb up or walk on the module.
•
Do not drop the module or throw objects on the module.
•
Use the module only for the purpose to which it is designed.
•
Do not dismantle the module or remove any part, label, or piece assembled by the
manufacturer without the manufacturer’s authorization.
•
Do not concentrate sunlight or other artificial light sources onto the module.
•
Use tools duly coated with insulating material while working with the modules.
•
Always work under dry conditions.
•
Do not install the modules where there may be flammable gases or vapors, since
sparks may be produced.
•
Take care to avoid electric discharges when installing, wiring, starting up or carrying
