8.3 ilt Angle Selection
 he solar cells absorb sunlight and then
transform the light energy into
electricity. o ensure that the maximum
efficiency of absorption can be
obtained, the front of the
photovoltaic module should
face the sunlight
vertically as much
as possible.
 For this reason, the
optimal tilt for
the photovoltaic
module is roughly the same as the latitude of installation location.
 We recommend installing the modules with a tilt angle of at least10°. o make it easier
for dust to be washed off by rain and reduce the dirt or other materials that
accumulate on the surface of photovoltaic modules.
9 Electrical Installation
 Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module is likely to produce more current and
/or voltage than reported under standard test conditions. Accordingly, the values of Isc
and Voc marked on this module should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when
determining component voltage ratings, conductor current ratings, fuse sizes and size
of controls connected to the photovoltaic module output.
 Maximum series overcurrent protective device is 8A.
 In the United States, refer to Section 690-8 of the National Electrical Code to determine
the appropriate specification of wire and fuse, which should add a multiplying factor of
1.25 (80% de-rating) from Isc.
 A module with exposed conductive parts is considered to be in compliance with UL
1703 only when it is electrically grounded in accordance with the instructions
presented below and the requirements of the National Electrical Code.
9.1 Electrical Installation Precautions
 he cross section of the cables and the capacity of the connectors must be selected to
suit the maximum system short circuit current.
 Do not carry out installation when PV modules, installation tools or installation area
are exposed to water.

 he system requires confirmation that the wiring is correct.
9.2 Grounding
 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.
 he ground wire must not be smaller than No.12 AWG (4 mm²), and insulation
resistance must beat least 90°C, or according to local regulations, e.g. the NEC
(National Electric Code) in the United States.
 If the building is already equipped with an exterior lightning protection system, the PV
installation must be integrated into the protection system against direct effects of
lightning.
 here are six 4mm [Φ4mm] grounding holes with earth symbols
○
⏚ each on the long
frame of module; the module frame MUS BE properly grounded.
 Use an M4 stainless steel bolt and pass through a diameter M4 stainless steel cup-
washer, use the 12AWG(4mm²) copper wire wound on the bolt, then pass it through
theM4stainless steel flat washer, and place the bolt through the grounding hole of the
frame, M4 stainlessstarwasher,M4stainless steel flat washer, and finally with a M4 nut
use about3 ~ 4Nm (22.1 ~ 22.6 lb-in)of torque to lock onto the frame.
 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

 For a photovoltaic generation system connected to the power grid, you MUS
CONFIRM that the system has passed the inspection, testing and shall comply with
regulatory requirements.
10 Maintenance
 Clean the glass surface of the module when required. Always use clean water and a
soft sponge or cloth for cleaning.
 It is recommended to check the electrical, grounding and mechanical connections
every six months or shorter to verify that they are clean, secure, undamaged and free
of corrosion.
 When replacement parts are required, the installer or servicer should ensure that parts
uses are specified by the manufacturer, with the same characteristics as the original
parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazard.
 At the suitable moment, maintain the parts used in the system, such as brackets,
charging rectifiers, inverters, batteries, etc.
11 Shut Down Generation System
