AC Module System Installation Manual
Rev. 1.0
Before Installing the AC junction box and PV rack, be aware of the following requirements:
•
Determine appropriate solar panel angle maximizing the amount of sunlight. It depends on geographical
conditions.
•
To make better air circulation along the backside of the AC module, it is recommended to install the PV
rack with a gap of at least 4 inches (100mm) between the back of the module and roof surface. It might
affect UL listing and fire class if it is less than 4 inches (100mm).
•
Install AC junction box near the AC module.
•
Install using the parts approved in the installation region.
Construct the overall frame of the solar system in the following order:
•
Install the PV rack according to the number of modules per array and the dimensions of the AC module.
(refer to Chapter 9. Product Specification)
•
Inspect the installation site and design possible combination of arrays that fits into the installation site. If
there are any vents or obstacles that make array build difficult, go to 3-9 Building an array of AC modules
to get ideas to design an array.
•
Install the AC junction box near the PV rack. Select the size and type of AC junction box suitable for
connection type according to the output voltage. (refer to 3-12 Connecting Array of AC Modules-to-
Distribution Panel)
•
Make sure that the AC junction box is under protection of weather proof function.
•
Please use appropriate conduit or ducts for wires.
