System design

Please use the the equipments, connectors, wires and rack which match with solar power system. In a particular system, be sure to apply the same type of modules. Please refer to the short-circuit current (Isc) nd open circuit voltage (Voc) showing on modules’ label as proper value to install and design when determining settling parameters such as rated voltage, the wire capacity, fuse, the controller capacity and module output power of relevant parts of PV system.

In normal outdoor conditions, the generated current and voltage maybe different from the parameters listed in Table. Parameter table is measured under standard test conditions (STC), so concerning settling parameters of other parts of photovoltaic power generation system, such as rated voltage, the wire capacity, fuse, the controller capacity and module power output, it shall refer to the short-circuit current (Isc) and open circuit voltage (Voc) noted on modules’ label, with the redundancy value of 125% for design and installation.

Make sure the array of modules installed within the Maximum permitted system voltage and the rating current and voltage of the sub-equipments such as regulators and inverters. The maximum permitted system voltage (DC) of the modules sold in Europe is 1500V.

The connection of modules: in accordance with system design, requirements of output voltage and current, modules can be series or parallel connected by their connecting wires; the maximum number of modules in series (N) is equal to the maximum system voltage Vmax divided by the open circuit voltage Voc of one single module; the number of modules in parallel is related to the selection of electrical equipment (inverters, controllers) under standard test conditions.

• N: Number of modules in series.
• Vmax: Maximum system voltage
• Voc: Open circuit voltage of each module(refer to product label or data sheet).
• Tc(voc): Thermal coefficient of open circuit voltage for the module(refer to data sheet).
• Tmin: The lowest ambient temperature

Location Selection

1. The module should be installed at an ambient temperature of –40 °C to +40 °C. The module’s limit working ambient temperature range is from –40 °C to +85 °C.

2. 2 The maximum altitude for HT PV module is 2000m.

3. Under standard test conditions (1000W / m² irradiance, AM 1.5 spectrum, 25 ° C (77 ° F) ambient temperature), the electrical performance parameters of modules, such as Isc, Voc, and Pmax. Tolerance of rating Pmax is±3%,Voc and Isc is±5%.

4. A suitable installation location shall be carefully selected for modules.

5. In the northern hemisphere, modules had better be installed facing south direction; in the southern
   hemisphere, modules had better be installed facing north.

6. The tilt angle of the PV module is measured between the surface of the PV module and a horizontal
   ground surface (as shows in Figure 1). The PV module generates maximum output power when it faces the
   sun vertical. If you want the specific information of best install tilt angle, please consult the local authoritative solar system construction company.

Mounting with Clamps

We have tested its modules with a number of clamps from different manufacturers and recommends the use of clamps which have an EPDM or similar insulating washer, fixing use M8. The clamp must overlap the module frame by at least 0.28 in but no more than 0.39 in. All the installation methods described here are for reference only. We are not responsible for the design and installation of relevant modules and photovoltaic systems. Mechanical load and safety of components must be performed by a professional system installer or someone with relevant qualifications.

• Use at minimum 4 clamps to fix modules on the mounting rails.
• Modules clamps should not come into contact with the front glass and must not deform the frame.
• Be sure to avoid shadowing effects from the module clamps.
• The module frame is not to be modified under any circumstances.
• When choosing this type of clamp-mounting method, use at least four clamps on each module, two clamps should be attached on each long sides of the module (for portrait orientation) and each short sides of the module (for landscape orientation). Depending on local wind and snow loads, additional clamps may be required to ensure that Unpacking paper boxes process modules can bear the load.
• Applied torque should refer to mechanical design standard according to the bolt customer is using,
• M6 —- 70 lbf*in
• M8 —- 140 lbf*in

Electrical connection

1. Please read the electrical wiring drawings carefully before wiring, when the modules followed the IEC standard,the maximum system voltage is 1500V DC.

2. The connection of module and junction box is as following. The modules are connected with junction connectors, such as PV-JK03M-2, PV-CO02, PV-HT002-1, PV-HT03, PV-KST4-EVO 2/ xy_UR (male) and PV-KBT4-EVO 2/XY UR(female). Meanwhile, the diode UKTH0345-12, UKTH0345-13, GFMK6045C and GFMK6045 are used in the junction box. The cross-sectional area of cable and the connector capacity must be satisfied the system’s short circuit current the cable’s cross-sectional area for a single module is recommended to be 4mm 2 , The outer diameter of the cable could be selected 5-7mm. The fuse current and the rated current of the connector should be higher than 2 0 A(In 18X series module situation, both fuse current of cable and rated current of connect should be ≥ 25A.). Otherwise, the cables and connectors will overheat due to high current. Please note that the highest temperature of cable is 90 ℃, and the highest temperature of connector is 125 ℃.

3. Aluminum frame and brackets of modules must be grounded with four ground holes of each module, which is marked on frames (it is recommended that each series/parallel of modules should be grounded once). The specific location of the grounding holes can be seen as the figure below. The ground wire and frame will be reliable grounding through the reserve grounding holes,by the installation bolts M4X10 ~ 15 matching plain washers, spring washers and nuts. Modules and ground cables shall be connected perfectly by wiring nose. Negative grounded inverters can be installed to prevent PID phenomenon.

4. Where common grounding hardware (nuts, bolts, star washers, spilt-ring lock washers, flat washers and the like) is used to attach a listed grounding/bonding device, the attachment must be made in conformance with the grounding device manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Common hardware items such as nuts, bolts, star washers, lock washers and the like have not been evaluated for electrical conductivity or for use as grounding devices and should be used only for maintaining mechanical connections and holding electrical grounding devices in the proper position for electrical conductivity.
   
   
   

6. The electrical connection shall conform to local electrical laws and regulations, “Y” type
   electrical connection mode is not allowed in module system electrical connection.

7. Modules are equipped with bypass diodes（rated voltage 45V, rated current 20A）; improper installation may damage diodes, cables or wiring box.

8. Please wrap the connectors after taking out the modules without immediate installation so as to prevent damage caused by wind or rain. Use of lubricant for connectors is prohibited, because it leads fracture of connectors.

9. Do not remove the waterproof rubber rings out of the junction box or connectors.

10. Use of diesel oil for heating is strictly prohibited at installation site, which may lead to connector failure because the gas after combustion of diesel and other petroleum products.

11. Connector Installation Process.

12. Cutting and Stripping Cable Process:
    Use the Wire Cutter to cut out the required length of the cable. The cable is placed in a suitable position, using Strip Clamp to strip cable, the striped cable should be controlled within 7±0.1mm.
    

13. Crimping Process:
    Insert striped cable into contact barrel and insure all conductor strands are captured in the contact barrel. Inset the cable cores until the insulation comes up against the crimp insert. Completely close the crimping pliers.
    

14. Crimping and No Soldering:
    Using specified Crimping Blade to crimping cable and Pin\Contact, the pull force between cable and metal parts should be more than 310N after crimping.
    

15. Crimping and Soldering: The pull force between cable and metal parts should be more than 150N after crimping. Tin liquor need to melt into the crimping opening, not only melt on the surface. The pull force between cable and metal parts should be more than 310N after soldering.
    

16. Insert crimping socket and pin into back of male and female connector. A “click” should be heard or felt when the contact cable assembly is seated in correct position
    

17. When installing the back cap, need to pre-tighten by hand, then tighten the back cap with the lock too.
