3.
Wiring methods should be in accordance with the electrical standards & norms of
the country in which the modules are being installed.
4.
Wiring should be done only by a qualified & certified professional.
5.
Do not cut the connectors or crimp any other thimble on module wiring (Doing so
will void the warranty).
6.
The junction box, present on the back side of the module is designed to be used
with standard wiring or conduit connections.
7.
The junction box has a breather port and the breather port must not be exposed to
direct rain/water. Hence the Junction box should be mounted on the higher side of
the module when mounted with the cable outlet pointing downward, preferably.
8.
The maximum electrical rating of an acceptable series fuse is 7.5 A (modules with
5" cell) & 10 A (for module with 6" cell).
9.
Keep in mind to follow the applicable codes for outdoor installation of wires in
conduits. Verify that all fittings are properly installed to protect wire against
damage & prevent moisture intrusion.
10. Number of module in series connection should not increase such that voltage
generated is beyond system voltage.
11. Blocking Diodes ;Blocking diodes can prevent night time battery discharging and
also prevent modules from loss of array output and damage by reverse current
flow. Moser Baer PV modules do not contain blocking diodes when shipped from
the factory however most battery charge regulators do have this feature.
12. By Pass Diodes ; In systems with modules in series strings, high reverse current
can flow through cells that are shaded partially or when part of a module is
shaded and rest is exposed to the sun. These currents can cause affected cells to
heat up (hot spot phenomenon) and even damage the module.To protect
modules from high reverse currents bypass diodes are provided in the junction
box (factory fitted). Diode rating -12A,200V
