For the recommended maximum rated fuse current, see the appendix.
In view of the thermal expansion effect between modules, the minimal clearance between
modules shall be 10mm, which means the minimal linear distance between the plastic corner
protectors of two neighboring modules.
Caution: Modules of Linyang Photovoltaic may be installed in the mode of installation
shown in the above figure. For any other mode of installation, please contact Linyang
Photovoltaic for further information and permission. The limited warranty provided by
Linyang Photovoltaic shall become invalid if any mode of installation deviates from the
guidance in this Manual.
6 Electrical Installation
6.1 Wiring and connection
Please confirm whether wiring connection is correct prior to power generation, in order to
reduce lightning stroke and short-circuit risks. A wiring error may exist if the measured open-circuit
voltage and short-circuit current are different from those in the technical specifications.
In case of series connection, select solar modules with current at the same level to connect; the
voltage generated by modules in series connection shall not surpass the maximum voltage allowed
in the system. The quantity of modules in each series depends on the system design, inverter type
and environment conditions.
The maximum rated fuse current value of each module series is marked on the product tag and
in the specification and parameter list. The rated fuse current corresponds to the highest reverse
current value that the module can withstand. Please apply appropriate fuses to protect the modules
in series or parallel connection in the circuit, based on the maximum fuse current and the local
electric property installation requirements.
6.2 PV module connector
Ensure that the connector is tightened and properly connected. No connector shall bear any
external pressure. The connector can only be used for circuit connection, not for turning the circuit
on or off. Keep the connector dry and clean; avoid rain or moisture. Prevent the connector from
direct sunlight or soaking in water.
6.3 Use appropriate components
All the extra conductors, adapters and plugs shall conform to outdoor application requirements.
Ensure their electrical and mechanical performances.
Ensure that all the applied materials meet the requirements of maximum voltage, current,
humidity and temperature of the system.
A module may generate greater current or voltage. Thus, multiple the parameters on the
module nameplate by 1.25, when selecting the parameters of electrical elements, such as rated
voltage, rated current and fuse capacity.
