Figure 12 Schematic diagram of electrical connection 

 

note 

 

If one set of arrays is connected to another with the 

opposite  polarity,  it  will  cause  irreparable  damage 

to  the  product.  Before  connecting  in  parallel,  be 

sure  to  confirm  the  voltage  and  polarity  of  each 

column.  If  the  measurement  finds  that  the  polarity 

between  the  columns  is  reversed  or  the  voltage 

difference is greater than 10V,  you  must check the 

structure  and  configuration  before  making  the 

connection. 

 

The  number  of  photovoltaic  modules  in  series  and 

parallel  must  be  designed  reasonably  according  to 

the system configuration. 

 

Photovoltaic  modules  of  different  electrical 

performance  models  cannot  be  connected  in  a 

string. 

 

Special solar cables and connectors should be used 

in  the  system,  and  all  connections  should  be 

securely tightened. The cable size should be 4mm2 

(12  AWG)  and  must  be  able  to  withstand  the 

maximum  open  circuit  voltage  of  the  photovoltaic 

system. 

 

When  the  cable  is  fixed  on  the  bracket,  it  is 

necessary to avoid mechanical damage to the cable 

or photovoltaic module, and do not press the cable 

with force. To fix the cable through the proper way, 

a  specially  designed  tying  coil  and  wire  clip  must 

be  used  to  fix  it  on  the  bracket.  Avoid  direct 

sunlight and water soaking cables. 

 

Please keep the connector dry and clean, and make 

sure  that  the  nut  of  the  connector  is  tightened 

before  connecting.  Do  not  connect  the  connector 

when it is found that the connector is wet, dirty, or 

in  other  bad  conditions.  Avoid  direct  sunlight  and 

immersion  of  the  connector  in  water.  Avoid  the 

connector falling on the ground or roof. 

 

When  the  photovoltaic  module  is  in  a  live  state,
