current and 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 module voltage ratings, conductor 

current ratings, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to the PV output. 

7.1.2 

Try to use the modules with the same configuration in the same PV system. If the modules are connected 

in series, the total voltage is the sum of voltages of all the modules. The maximum voltage of string does not 

exceed the maximum system voltage of the modules (the maximum system voltage of Sunerg Solar modules is 

1500V),  the  maximum  number  of  modules  that  can  be  connected  in  a  series  string  must  be  calculated  in 

accordance  with  applicable  regulations,  make  sure  the  open  circuit  voltage  of  string  does  not  exceed  the 

maximum  system  voltage  of  the  modules  and  the  other  electrical  DC  modules  required  at  the  minimum 

temperature at the PV system location. Using the following formula: 

System voltage=N*Voc*[1

λv

oc 

(Tmin - 25℃)] 

N——

number of modules in series 

Voc——

open circuit voltage at STC (refer to product label or data sheet) 

λv

oc

——

Thermal coefficient of Voc of each module (refer to product data sheet) 

Tmin——

minimum ambient temperature at the PV system location 

7.1.3 

If  the  PV  system  requires  the  installation  of  high  current,  several  PV  modules  can  be  connected  in 

parallel,  and  total  current  is  the  sum  of  current  of  all  the  modules.  The  maximum  parallel  number  of  the 

modules N= Imax (fuse rating) /Isc.

 

7.1.4 

An  over-current  protection  device  with  appropriately  rated  must  be  used  when  reverse  current  could 

exceed the value of the maximum fuse rating of the module, an over-current protection devices is required for 

each series string if more than two series strings are connected in parallel.

 

7.1.5 

When installing the module, place the end with the junction box up and try to avoid the rain.

 

7.1.6 

Do not carry out installation in rainy weather, because humidity will void the insulation protection, Thus 

cause safety accidents. 

7.2 Cables and wiring 

7.2.1 

Use a junction box with a degree of protection IP67 or above. The junction box has a connected cable 

and  connector.  Each  module  has  two  single-conductor  wires,  one  positive  and  one  negative,  which  are 

pre-wired  inside  the  junction  box.  Installers  can  connect  two  modules  by  firmly  inserting  the  positive 

connector of a module into the negative connector of the other module. Refer to the following table for details 

of junction box. 

7.2.2 

Never perform pretreatment to modules including connector, junction box and cable with lubricating oil 

or cleaning agent made of alkanet materials during installation.

 

7.2.3 

The  cross  section  area  of  the  cable  and  connector  capacity  selected  must  satisfy  the  maximum 

short-circuit  current  of  the  system  (It  is  recommended  that  the  cross  section  area  of  the  cable  used  for  the 

single module is 4mm

2

, Please note that the temperature limit range of the cable is -40℃

+90℃).

 

7.2.4 

When fastening the cables to the supporting rail, pay attention to avoid mechanical damage to the cables 

or  modules,  and  also  making  a  special  design  to  protect  the  cables  from  environmental  corrosion  and  direct 

sunshine, for example, put the cable into the supporting beam or special pipes with UV-resistant materials. The 

cables  designed  are  sunlight  resistant  and  waterproof,  but  also  to  avoid  direct  sunlight  exposure  and  water 

immersion of the cables.
