SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning: Before attempting to install,
wire, operate and/or service the module
and other electrical equipment, all inst-
ructions should be read and understood.
PV module interconnectors pass direct current
(DC) when exposed to sunlight or other light
sources. Contact with electrically active parts
of the module, such as terminals, can result in
injury or death, irrespective of whether or not the
module and the other electrical equipment have
been connected.
Avertissement: Toutes les instructions devront
être lues et comprises avant de procéder à
l’installation, le câblage, l’exploitation et/ou
l’entretien des panneaux. Les interconnexions
des panneaux conduisent du courant continu
(CC) lorsque le panneau est exposé à la lumière
du soleil ou à d’autres sources lumineuses.
Tout contact avec des éléments sous tension
du panneau tels que ses bornes de sortie peut
entraîner des blessures ou la mort,
que le panneau soit connecté ou non.
GENERAL SAFETY
· All modules must be installed by licensed electricians
in accordance with the applicable electrical codes
such as, the latest National Electrical Code (USA) or
Canadian Electric Code (Canada), or other national
or international electrical codes.
Protective clothing (non-slip gloves,
clothes, etc.) must be worn during
installation to prevent direct contact
with 30 VDC or greater, and to protect
your hands from sharp edges.
Prior to installation, remove all metallic
jewelry to prevent accidental exposure
to live circuits.
When installing or handling modules in
light rain, morning dew or strong wind,
appropriate safety measures should be
taken to avoid damaging the modules or
injuring people.
Do not allow children and unauthorized

persons near the installation site or
storage area of modules.
· If the disconnects and over current protective
devices (OCPD) cannot be opened or the inverter
cannot be powered down, cover the fronts of
modules in the PV array with an opaque material
to stop the production of electricity when installing
or working on a module or wiring.
· Use electrically insulated tools to reduce the risk of
electric shock.
· Do not use or install broken modules.
· Contact with module surfaces or frames may cause
electric shock if the front or rear glass is broken.
· Keep the junction box cover closed at all times.
· Do not connect or disconnect modules when
current from the modules or an external source is
present.
· Do not disassemble a module or remove any
module part.
· Do not articially concentrate sunlight onto
a module.
· The PV module does not contain any serviceable parts.
Do not attempt to repair any part of the module.
3.0
MECHANICAL/ ELECTRICAL
SPECIFICATIONS
Module electrical ratings are measured under Stan-
dard Test Conditions (STC) of 1 kW/m2 irradiance,
with an air mass (AM) spectrum of 1.5, and a cell
temperature of 25°C. Detailed electrical and mecha-
nical characteristics of Canadian Solar Inc. crystalline
silicon PV modules can be found in Annex A (Mecha-
nical And Electrical Ratings). Main electrical charac-
teristics under STC are also stated on each module
label. The maximum system voltage for double glass
module type is 1000V (UL) and 1500V (IEC).
Under certain conditions, a module may produce
more current or voltage than its STC rated power. As
a result, a module open-circuit voltage and short-
circuit current under STC should be multiplied by
1.25 when determining component voltage ratings,
conductor ampacities, overcurrent device ratings,
and the size of controls connected to the PV output.
An additional 1.25 multiplier for the short-circuit
current (giving a total multiplier of 1.56), may be
applicable when sizing conductors and fuses, as
described in section 690-8 of U.S. NEC.
4.0
UNPACKING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS
· Module should be stored in a dry and ventilated
environment to avoid direct sunlight and
moisture. If modules are stored in an uncontrolled
environment, the storage time should be less than
3 months and extra precautions should be taken
to prevent moisture exposure to connectors or
sunlight exposure to modules.
· Unpack module pallets carefully, following the
steps shown on the pallet. Unpack, transport and
store the modules with care.
· Modules must always be unpacked by two people.
When handling modules always use both hands.
· Do not lift modules by their wires or junction box;
lift them by the frame.
· No stacking of modules.
· Do not place excessive loads on the module or
twist the module frame.
· Do not stand, step, walk and/or jump on modules.

MODULE INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
AND GENERAL SAFETY
· Prior to installing modules please obtain infor-
mation about any requirements and necessary
approvals for the site, installation and inspection
from the relevant authorities.
· Check applicable building codes to ensure that
the construction or structure (roof, facade,
support, etc.) can bear the module system load.
· Canadian Solar Inc. double glass solar modules
have been qualied for Application Class A
(equivalent to Safety Class II requirements).
Modules rated under this class should be used in
systems operating at voltage above 50 V or power
above 240 W, where general contact access is
anticipated.
DO NOT STAND OR STEP on the
modules under any circumstances.
Localized heavy loads may cause severe micro-
cracks at cell level, which in turn may compromise
module reliability. Failure to comply with the above
caution will void Canadian Solar Inc.’s warranty.
SYSTEM FIRE RATING
· The re rating for this module is only valid when
the product is installed as specied in the mechani-
cal mounting instructions.
· Canadian Solar Inc. double glass modules
have been certied by CSA as Type 3 for re
performance.
· When installing the modules on rooftop, please
ensure the assembly is mounted over a re resistant
roof covering rated for the application.
· A photovoltaic system composed of UL1703
certied modules mounted on a UL2703 certied
mounting system should be evaluated in combina-
tion with roof coverings in accordance with UL1703
standard, with respect to meeting the same re
classication as the roof assembly.
· Mounting systems with a System Fire Class Rating
(Class A, B or C), tested in conjunction with re
rated “Type 3” rated modules, are considered ac-
ceptable for use with Canadian Solar Inc. modules,
provides the mounting system does not violate any
other requirements of this manual.
· Any mounting system limitations on inclination or
accessories required to maintain a specic System
Fire Class Rating should be clearly specied in the
installation instructions and UL2703 certication of
the mounting system supplier.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
· The module is intended for use in general open-air
climates, as dened in IEC 60721-2-1: Classication
of environmental conditions Part 2-1: Environmental
conditions appearing in nature - temperature and
humidity.
· Please consult the Canadian Solar Inc. technical
support department for more information on the
use of modules in special climates.
Please note

Do not install modules near naked ames
or ammable materials.
Do not immerse modules in water or
constantly expose modules to water
(either fresh or salt) (i.e. from fountains,
sea spray).
· Exposing modules to salt (i.e. marine environments)
or sulfur (i.e. sulfur sources, volcanoes) incurs the
risk of module corrosion.
· Failure to comply with these instructions will void
Canadian Solar Inc. warranty.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
· Ensure that the module meets the general technical
system requirements. Ensure that other systems
components do not damage modules mechanically
or electrically.
· Modules can be wired in series to increase voltage
or in parallel to increase current. To connect modules
in series, connect the cables from the positive
terminal of one module to the negative terminal
of the next module. To connect in parallel, connect
the cables from the positive terminal of one
module to the positive terminal on the next module.
· Only connect the quantity of modules that corres-
ponds to the voltage specications of the inverters
used in the system. Modules must not be connec-
ted together to create a voltage higher than the
maximum permitted system voltage, even under
the worst local temperature conditions.
· A maximum of two strings can be connected in pa-
rallel without using over-current protection device
(fuses…) incorporated in series within each string.
Three of more strings can be connected in parallel
if an appropriate and certied over-current protec-
tion device is installed in series with each string.
· Only modules with similar electrical outputs
should be connected in the same series to avoid
or minimize mismatch effects in arrays.
· To minimize risk in the event of an indirect light-
ning strike, avoid forming loops when designing
the system.
· The recommended maximum series fuse rating
is stated in a table in the Annex.
· Modules should be safely xed to bear all expected
loads, including wind and snow loads.
· A minimum clearance of 0.394 in (10 mm) or more
between modules is required to allow for thermal
expansion of the modules. The clearance is from
the plastic protect corner to adjacent plastic
protect connector.
OPTIMUM ORIENTATION AND TILT
· To maximize your annual yield, nd out the optimum
orientation and tilt for PV modules in your region.
The highest yields are achieved when sunlight
shines perpendicularly onto the PV modules.
AVOID SHADING
· Even minor partial shading (e.g. from dirt deposits)
reduces yields. A module can be considered to be
unshaded if its entire surface is free from shading
all year round. Sunlight should be able to reach the
module even on the shortest day of the year.
· Permanent shading conditions can affect module
service lifetime, due to accelerated ageing of the
encapsulation material and thermal stress on the
bypass diodes.
RELIABLE VENTILATION
· Sucient clearance (at least 3.94 in (10 cm)) bet-
ween the module frame and the mounting surface
is required to allow cooling air to circulate around
the back of the module. This also enables conden-
sation or moisture to dissipate.
· Any other specic clearance required for main-
taining a system re rating should prevail. Detailed
clearance requirements pertaining to system re
ratings must be provided by your racking supplier.
5.1
MODULE WIRING

EN-Rev IM-FDM-EN/1.6 Copyright © March 2017. Canadian Solar Inc.

|
CORRECT WIRING SCHEME
· Ensure that the wiring is correct before starting up the
system. If the measured open circuit voltage (Voc) and
short-circuit current (Isc) differ from the specifications,
this indicates that there is a wiring fault.
CORRECT CONNECTION OF PLUG CONNECTORS
· Make sure that connections are safe and tight.
Plug connector should not be subjected to stress
from the exterior. Connectors should only be
used to connect the circuit. They should never
be used to turn the circuit on and off.
USE OF SUITABLE MATERIALS
· Only use dedicated solar cable and suitable plugs
(wiring should be sheathed in a sunlight-resistant
conduit or, if exposed, should itself be sunlight-
resistant) that meet local fire, building and electrical
regulations. Please ensure that all wiring is in
perfect electrical and mechanical condition.
· Installers may only use 2.5-10 mm2(8-14 AWG)
single conductor cable listed and labeled as PV Wire
or TUV 2PfG1169 approved, that is 90°C wet rated
with proper insulation that is able to withstand the
maximum possible system open-circuit voltage.
Only copper conductor material should be used.
Select a suitable conductor gauge to minimize
voltage drop and ensure that the conductor
ampacity complies with local regulations (i.e. NEC
690.8(D)).
CABLE PROTECTION
· Secure the cables to the mounting system using
UV-resistant cable ties. Protect exposed cables
from damage by taking appropriate precautions
(e.g. placing them inside a plastic conduit). Avoid
exposure to direct sunlight.
· A minimum bending radius of 60 mm is required
when securing the junction box cables to the
racking system.
CONNECTOR PROTECTION
· Protect exposed connectors from weathering
damage by taking appropriate precautions.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
5.2
MODULE GROUNDING
· EQUIPMENT GROUNDING: double glass modules
do not present any exposed conductive parts, and
therefore do not require to be electrically groun-
ded for compliance to the National Electrical Code.
· Proper equipment grounding is still required for
the racking system in compliance with all local
electrical codes and regulations. Please refer to the
racking system user instructions.

Canadian Solar Inc. recommends mounting rails
with a minimum width of 40mm for ±2400Pa load
and a minimum width of 60mm for +5400 Pa
/-2400Pa load.
· Install and tighten the module clamps to the
mounting rails using the torque stated by the
mounting hardware manufacturer. System
designer and installer are responsible for load
calculations and for proper design of support
structure. It is recommended to use a torque
wrench for installation. Tightening torques should
respectively be within 17~23 Nm (12.5~17.0 ft-lb)
(23 Nm (17.0 ft-lb) is recommend) for M8x1.25-
Grade 8.8 coarse thread bolts, depending on bolt
class.
· Use appropriate corrosion-proof fastening
materials. All mounting hardware (bolts, spring
washers, flat washers, nuts) should be made with
stainless steel.
· Clamp material should be anodized aluminum
alloy or steel of appropriate grade. One buffer
rubber material (Recommended material is EPDM)
must be added between the clamp and the glass.
· Canadian Solar Inc. warranty may be void in cases
where improper clamps or unsuitable installation
methods are found. When installing clamps, take
measures so as:
1. Not to bend the laminate excessively.
2. Not to cast shadow on the cells.
3. Not to damage or scratch the surface of the glass.
4. To ensure the clamps overlap the module by
13 mm to 15 mm.
5. To ensure the thickness of the clamps is at
least 3 mm.
· Clamp positions are of crucial importance for the
reliability of the installation, the clamp centerline
must only be positioned within the authorized
position ranges indicated in ANNEX B, depending
on the configuration and load.
· The module is only considered to comply with
UL1703 when mounted as specified in the inst-
ructions in ANNEX B. Any module without a frame
(laminate) shall not be considered to comply with
the requirements of UL 1703 unless the module is
mounted with hardware that has been tested and
evaluated with the module under this standard or
by a field Inspection certifying that the installed
module complies with the requirements of UL
1703.
· Double glass modules can be mounted to a sup-
port structure by means of clamps. For recommen-
ded installation methods and load, please refer to
ANNEX B and contact your local representative for
further information. Failure to use a recognized
installation method will void Canadian Solar Inc.
