INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS -PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES-

 
1. INSTALLATION 

Mounting Using Clamps:  

The  PV  modules  can  be  mounted  with  clamps  (clips)  as  defined  in  the 

following.  Note  that  the  mounting  clamps  should  meet  the  required 

dimensions  as  defined  in  the  Figure1.  Note  that  the 

CLAMP  CENTER 

POSITION 

from  the  module  corner  should  be  located  in  the  range  as 

specified in the Annex. All clamps shall hold the module frame completely 

within their width. Please be aware that the module under heavy load would 

get  serious  deflection  which  could  cause  cell  cracks  that  affects  power 

degradation. The PV module must be supported on the array system and 

must overlap the array rail by at least 10mm.  

 

Mounting Using Frame Bolt Holes:  

The modules may be fastened to a support using the bolt holes in the bottom 

of the frames at any of locations shown in the Annex. The module should be 

fastened with  M8 bolts. Recommended torque is 12.5 Nm.

, Cable type: XLPE cable (H1Z2Z2-K) 

Maximum DC voltage: 1.5kV 
Ambient temperature: -40°C to +90°C 
Maximum conductor temperature: 120 °C

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
PV module configuration (Recommend) 

# Maximum series configuration: please refer to Table 1 
# Maximum parallel configuration: (Parallel connection of each 
string shall be conducted with following two options. Any other 
parallel connections are prohibited.) 
a) Case of  using the diodes; 1 diode per  maximum 2 parallel 

strings (Connect a diode or more in series for every string or 
every  2  parallel  strings  for  protection  of  PV  module  from 
reverse current over load.) 

b) Case of using the fuses; 1 fuse per every string (Connect a 

fuse for every single string for protection of PV module from 
reverse current over load.) 

 
Connection cables requirement 

The PV module shall be mated to the same connectors; 
Type: MC4   

System voltage 1,000V

 

Brand: Staubli Electrical Connectors 

 

In  case  connectors  will  be  replaced  by  qualified  personnel 
according the mounting instructions of the manufacturer of the 
new  connectors,  the  guarantees  on  the  module  itself,  will 
remain valid according the applicable terms. 
 

3. WARNING 

Keep all PV MODULES and electrical CONNECTORS clean & 
dry before installation. 

 

4. Disposal 

 

Dispose  PV  modules  properly.  For 
Information 

about 

the 

proper 

disposal, contact your local recycling 
site.

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

ELECTRICAL OUTPUT AND THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS 

 

Rated electrical characteristics are within ±10 percent of the indicated values of Voc, Isc and +5/-0 percent of Pmax , under STC 
(standard test conditions) (irradiance of 1000W/m

2

, AM 1.5 spectrum, and a cell temperature of 25°C (77°F)).

* The maximum series number of modules depends on the local conditions. These values are calculated under the condition of Voc at -40 °C.

 

Under normal conditions, a PV 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 PV module should be multiplied by a factor 
of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor current ratings, fuse sizes and size of controls connected to the 
PV module output. 
The PV module has been qualified in an environmental temperature range of -40 °C to +40 °C and up to 100% relative humidity 
as well as rain, and the altitude up to 2,000m in accordance with IEC61730. 

 
Class for protection against electric shock 

This  PV  module  is  classified 

as  “Class

”  according  to 

IEC61730.  These  PV  modules  are  intended  for  installation 
where general user access and contact to insulated live parts is 
anticipated. 

 

FIRE RATING 

This  PV module 

is rated as “Fire safety class C” according to 

IEC61730-2:2004 or UL790.
