General Principles Of Security
Modules rated for use in this application class may be used in systems operating at greater than 50V DC or 240W,
where general contact access is anticipated. Modules qualified for safety through IEC 61730-1 and this part of IEC
61730 within this application class are considered to meet the requirements for safety class II.
No matter whether the PV module is connected to the system or not, proper protective measures should be
used when touching the PV module, such as insulation tools, safety caps, insulation gloves, safety belts, and safety
insulation shoes. During installing, grounding, connecting cables, and cleaning modules, the proper electrical
protection tools must be used too.

Avoid contact with modules directly, which may cause electric shocks or cuts.
The installation should comply with the laws and regulations specified by the relevant region and country. If
necessary, obtain the required certificates such as building permit.
Module installation shall be carried out by qualified professionals with technical knowledge and familiarity with
the mechanical and electrical requirements of the system. Be aware of the risks of injury, including electric shock,
that may occur during installation.
The modules are applied to the ground, roof, fish pond and other outdoor environments. Proper design of
support structures is the responsibility of the system designer or installer. When applied to roof installation, the
overall fire rating of the final structure needs to be considered, as well as the overall maintenance of the later period.
A roof system can only be installed on a roof that has been assessed by a construction expert with the results of a
formal complete structural analysis.
Comply with safety regulations for all installed components. Such as wires and cables, connectors, charging
controllers, inverters, batteries, etc., only the equipment, connectors, wires and brackets that match the solar power
system can be used. If the photovoltaic system uses energy storage batteries, the configuration of the modules should
follow the advice of the battery manufacturer.
Meaning of crossed –out wheeled dustbin: Do not dispose of electrical appliances
as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection facilities.
Contact your local government for information regarding the collection
systems available.
If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous
substances can leak into the groundwater and get into the food chain,
damaging your health and well-being.
When replacing old appliances with new ones, the retailer is legally obligated to
take back your old appliance for disposals at least free of charge.
Electrical safety
For avoid any form of electrical accidents, please followed the following electrical safety provisions strictly.

Damaged modules pose a risk of electric shock and
fire, should be replaced immediately.

The DC voltage generated by module may exceed
30V, please avoid contact directly.

Ensure that the cable is fixed to the support
bracket for installing modules.

Protect cables with catheters in areas accessible to
animals and children.

Do not manually modify or remove any module or
label.

The installation of the module array must be
carried out in isolation from direct sunlight.

The serial voltage of modules must not exceed the
maximum system voltage.

Do not connect modules with connectors of
different models from different manufacturers.

Do not replace roofing and wall materials with
modules.

Do not connect or disconnect modules when there
is current or external current.


Do not install modules without taking protective
measures.

Do not use any means other than connectors for
electrical connection.

Do not coat the surface of the module with
corrosive chemicals.

Do not install or operate modules in damp or
windy conditions.

Do not add any light concentrators to the module.  Do not touch the module when it is wet.
Fire Safety
Before installing modules on the roof, refer to local laws and regulations and comply with building fire protection
requirements. The roof shall be covered with a suitable grade of fireproof material for roof installation and to ensure
that the modules and mounting surfaces are fully ventilated. Different roof structures and installation methods can
affect the fire performance of a building. Improper installation may cause a fire.
Use appropriate components such as fuses, circuit breakers and ground connectors according to local regulations.
Do not install or use modules near open flames or flammable or explosive objects.
Transportation safety
Do not open the packing case before the modules arrive at the installation site. Place the packing case in a dry
and ventilated environment.
During all handling, ensure that the module will not be shaken, dropped to the ground, or objects will fall on the
module, as this will damage the module or the solar cells in the module. Do not allow children or unauthorized persons
to handle modules. Improper handling and placement may result in glass breakage or loss of electrical properties,
thus rendering the modules useless.
Handle and installation modules with care. Under no circumstances should assemblies be lifted by lifting junction
boxes or cables. Two or more persons must hold the edges of assemblies with both hands.
Do not step on, stand on or sit on modules as this can damage modules and risk injury to people.
Do not stack modules, do not place any heavy objects on the front and back of modules, and do not place
modules on sharp surfaces.
Install Security
Comply with safety rules applicable to all installed modules. Such as wires and cables, connectors, charging
controllers, inverters, batteries, etc., only the equipment, connectors, wires and rails that match the solar power
system can be used.
If the photovoltaic system uses energy storage batteries, the configuration of the modules should follow the
advice of the battery manufacturer.
Do not install or operate s in damp or windy conditions, and keep the junction box cover closed.

The glass can protect the module, improper operation may cause the glass to be broken. Damaged module pose
a risk of electric shock and fire. Such modules cannot be repaired or repaired and should be replaced immediately.
When sunlight strikes the front of the module, the module generates electricity and the DC voltage may exceed
30V. Avoid direct contact with the voltage of 30V or higher to avoid danger.
To reduce or avoid the array mismatch effect, it is recommended to connect modules with similar electrical
properties on the same string.
When connecting modules, ensure that the connecting cables are fixed on the support frame of the module to
limit the swing of the slack part of the cable.
Comply with the minimum bending radius of the cable (not less than 43mm is recommended).

Electrical Properties
Electrical installation
The module product specification lists the specific electrical performance of photovoltaic modules in detail, and
the nameplate of each module is also marked with the main electrical performance parameters under STC conditions
(1000W/㎡, AM 1.5, cell temperature 25°C). The product specification and nameplate are also marked with the
maximum system voltage of the module.
Under certain environmental conditions, the current or voltage generated by the module may be greater than
the operating current or voltage for standard test conditions (STC). Therefore, when determining the current/voltage
ratings and load values of electrical components, the module short-circuit current under STC should be multiplied by
1.25, and the open-circuit voltage should be corrected according to the calculation formula below:
Maximum System Voltage
≥ N×Voc×[1 ＋ λvoc （ Tmin-25 ℃）
While,
N — Serial number of modules in strings
Voc — Open circuit voltage value of module under STC (see module nameplate)
λvoc — Open circuit voltage temperature coefficient of the module (see module technical specification)
Tmin — Annual minimum temperature for module installation position (for example, -20 ° C, Tmin = -20)
When determining the appropriate wire and fuse specifications, the maximum fuse current rating is selected by
reference to the product specifications.
The system electrical design and calculation shall be determined by a qualified electrical engineer.
The minimum over-current protection device specification is determined by calculating the maximum expected
current of the photovoltaic system. The maximum over-current protection device specification is mandatory in IEC
61215:2016 and IEC61730:2016 standards.

If there may be a reverse current through the module that exceeds the maximum fuse current, the module must
be protected by over-current protection. If the number of parallel connections is greater than or equal to 2, an over-
current guard must be installed on each assembly.
Do not install in rainy weather, moisture will lead to insulation failure, prone to safety accidents.
For specific electrical performance parameters, please refer to the product specifications.
Cables and wires
The junction box of each module is equipped with two separate wires, one positive and one negative, which can
be connected in series by inserting the positive connector of one module into the socket of the negative connector of
the adjacent module.
During installation, do not use lubricating oil or alkane cleaning agents to clean connectors, junction boxes, and
cables.
The cross-sectional area of the cable and the capacity of the connector must meet the maximum short-circuit
current of the module (for a single module, the cross-sectional area of the cable is 4mm2, and the cable temperature
ranges from -40 ° c to +90 ° c).
When the cable is fixed on the bracket, it is necessary to avoid mechanical damage to the cable or module. The
cable is fixed on the bracket with specially designed light resistant tie and cable card. The cable is light resistant and
waterproof, and also avoid direct sunlight and water soaking the cable.
Connector
When connecting modules, ensure that the connectors of the same string of modules are from the same
manufacturer or fully compatible, and the connection terminals of the modules and the system must also be in the
same way. The connectors of different manufacturers may be incompatible, which may cause mismatching and
burning.
Keep the connector dry and clean.
Do not connect the connector when it is damp or dirty.
Do not expose the connector to direct sunlight or water.
Bypass Diode
The junction box of the Hyundai Energy Solution module contains the bypass diode and forms a parallel structure
with the circuit. When the solar cells of the module is blocked or damaged, the hot spot phenomenon occurs in the
part of the module, the diode will work, so that the current no longer flows through the hot spot solar cell, so as to
limit the heating and performance loss of the module.
Note that the bypass diode is not an over-current protector.

Grounding
The module use anodized corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy frames as rigid supports. To protect the module
from lightning and static electricity, and to protect personal safety. All frames and mounting brackets of the
components must be grounded. If there are no specific regulations, please follow the International Electrotechnical
Commission standard or other international standards. Connect the ground cable with the recommended connection
terminal and fix it to the module frame. It is recommended to use 12AWG copper core wire. Figure 1 shows the
grounding holes and its identification on the assembly, and Figure 2 shows the assembly grounding method.
Figure 1. Ground hole and its identification Figure 2. Grounding method
The holes are used for grounding only and cannot be used to install module. Do not drill any additional ground
holes on any frame of the modules. Otherwise, the module warranty will be invalid.
When grounding, the grounding device must fully contact the interior of aluminum alloy, penetrate the oxide
film on the surface of the frame, and connect the frame of the module and the supporting member to achieve good
grounding effect. Use an electroplated support frame to ensure good electrical conductivity.
The ground conductor must be connected to the ground by a suitable ground electrode. You are advised to use
a ground cable accessory (wiring nose) to connect the ground cable. Weld the ground cable into the socket of the
wiring nose, insert the M4 screw into the ring of the wiring nose and the hole in the middle of the module frame, and
secure the cable using a nut. Spring washers should be used to prevent screw loosening resulting in poor grounding.
If the module is used in a high temperature and humidity environment, it is recommended to install an inverter
with an isolation transformer that can be negatively grounded (figure 3 shows the system voltage polarity
configuration).

Handling, transportation, storage and unpacking
Hyundai Energy Solution’s module have horizontal packaging and vertical packaging according to different
product. There are significant differences between horizontal packaging and vertical packaging in loading, unloading,
transportation and unpacking. Please be sure to follow the above operations in this manual.
The patterns of horizontal and vertical packing are as follows:
Figure 4. Horizontal packaging Figure 5. Vertical packaging
Handling, Transportation and Tran-shipment
After the module arrived, please check the overall status of the package in time. If there is any abnormal
condition such as package damage, deformation or skew, please contact the customer service or logistics
personnel of Hyundai Energy Solution immediately.
Place the module on flat ground after transporting it to the installation site.
Forklift to unload
If forklift tools are used, the forklift tools should be reasonably selected according to the size and weight of the
goods. If the fork of the forklift is less than 3/4 of the size of the cargo, it should be covered with an extended fork
assembly to avoid tipping the package when moving the forklift.

Straight-line driving speed control of forklift truck transportation ≤5km/h, turning speed ≤3km/h; during
transportation, the spacing between goods and inserts should be adjusted to the maximum position of the
spacing between pallets.
During loading and unloading, except forklift operators, other personnel should keep within a safe distance to
ensure personnel safety.
Lifting the unloading
If a crane is used to unload the package, use a dedicated hoisting tool. Select a proper hoisting tool based on the
weight and size of modules. Use a fixing tool of the same size on the top of the package to prevent the lifting rope
from squeezing the package or modules.
Horizontal packaging can lift up to 4 sets of modules at a time, vertical packaging can lift up to 2 sets of modules
at a time.
Tran-shipment
If vertical packaging modules need to be transported to the construction project site through secondary
transportation after being transported to the centralized storage site by container or flatbed vehicle, the following
points should be noted:
If forklift truck is used for transport, the forklift truck shall comply with the above requirements for unloading,
and the forklift truck size shall be at least ≥ 3T;
If you use a box truck or other type of vehicle, please use a carriage with guardrail, the height of the guardrail is
not less than 2/3 of the height of the module, and use fastening straps to secure the module to the carriage; modules
should be placed closely with each other, and gaps should not be left.
If the vertical package is turned to horizontal by a turning machine, please note that the flat tray structure is
used as the bearing unit of the module after turning over, and only the frame surface of the module can be used as
the bearing surface of the module after turning over.
Retail packaging
If the modules are not filled when they are shipped, Hyundai Energy Solution uses wooden frames of the same
size as the modules as packing fillers. The wooden frames are located in the middle of the packaging body, and the
scattered packaging method is exactly the same as the integral packaging method.
Storage
Please store the modules in a dry and ventilated environment and place the modules on a relatively flat ground.
Ensure that the outer package of the modules is intact. Ensure that the pallets and packages are protected from
moisture and direct sunlight in the storage area, and take waterproof (rain) measures.
If the modules are stored in an uncontrolled environment, they must not be stored for more than 3 months.
Additional measures should be taken to protect the connector from moisture or sun exposure, such as using the
connector end cover;
Long-term storage of modules is recommended to be stored in a standard warehouse. Check for module tilt
anomalies periodically.

Do not soak the tray in water. Take drainage measures on the ground to prevent the wooden pallet from rotting
or the ground from sinking after a rain.
