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 values of Isc and Voc marked on this module 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 PV output. If modules are to be installed in
parallel (electrically), each module (or series string of modules so connected) shall be
provided with the maximum series fuse as specified.
The modules will generate electrical energy under sunlight and other light sources.
Refer to Section 690-8 of the National Electrical Code for an additional multiplying
factor of 125 percent (80 percent derating) which may be applicable.
4. Characteristics of Modules
The array consists of modules in series and parallel and has a similar electrical curve to
that of a single module. In order to output maximum electrical power to the load, try to
make the impedance of the load match the electric performance of the module or array. In
order to maintain the stability of the system, also pay attention to the changes in the
WARNING!
In order to avoid electric shock and scalding, it is necessary to
cover the surface of the module with a suitable material to prevent
incidental light contacting the modules during the connection
process.
WARNING!
The product is designed as a plain plate type that should not
be irradiated directly under concentrated light.
