Generalization
This manual provides important safety instructions for the
installation, maintenance, and use of semi-flexible solar
modules. Users and installers must carefully read and
strictly adhere to. Failure to follow these safety instructions
could result in personal injury or property damage.
Installation and operation of solar modules require
specialized skills, only professionals can engage in the work.
Read the safety and installation instructions before using
and operating the components. The installer must inform
the end customer (or consumer) of the matter accordingly.
In this specification, "component" refers to one or more
EFLX series solar modules. Please keep this manual for
future reference.
1.1
Disclaimer
Photonic Universe reserves the right to change this
installation manual without prior notice. Photonic
Universe makes no warranty of any kind, expressed
or implied, contained in this manual. Customer's
failure to follow the requirements outlined in this
manual during the installation of the component will
void the product's limited warranty
1.2
Scope of Responsibility
Photonic Universe is not responsible for any form of
injury, including but not limited to component
operation, system installation, and whether physical
injury, injury, or property damage is incurred in
accordance with the instructions in this manual.

Safety preautions
WARNING: Before installing, wiring,
operating and / or maintaining the
components, read and understand all safety
precautions. When the assembly is exposed
to sunlight or other light sources, a direct
current is generated. The direct contact with
the live parts of the module, such as
terminals, may result in personal injury or
death, whether or not the module is
connected.
General security rules
· All installation work must be in accordance with
local and local codes and the corresponding
national or international electrical standards.
·
Use an insulating tool to reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Use appropriate protective measures
(non-slip gloves, work clothing, etc.)
to avoid direct contact with personnel
at 30 VDC or higher。
Do not wear metal ornaments when
installing, so as not to puncture the
components, causing electric shock
hazard.
If components are installed or operated
in rainy, strong winds or dewy
mornings, appropriate protective
measures are required to prevent
damage to components and personnel.
Do not allow children or unauthorized
persons to access the installation area or
component storage area.
If the circuit-breaker and over-current protection
circuit-breaker does not turn on or the controller
fails to close during component installation or
routing, cover the array assembly with opaque
material to stop the power output。
·Do not use or install damaged components。
Do not step on or place heavy objects on the
assembly surface during or after installation of the
PV module, as this may cause the battery to crack.
•Do not attempt to repair any part of a
component without a user-available component.
•The cover of the terminal box should always be
kept closed.
•Do not split the component or move any part of
the component.

•Do not connect or disconnect components when
a component has a current or an external
current.

Mechanical properties / electrical properties
The rated electrical performance data of the module were
measured under standard test conditions (STC) at irradiance
of 1 kW / m2, AM1.5, cell temperature of 25 ° C. Appendix A
of this installation manual contains specific electrical
specifications for Photonic Universe solar modules. The
nameplate of each component is also marked with the main
electrical properties under STC conditions.
In some cases, the current or voltage generated by the
component may be
Can be greater than its standard test environment (STC) the
best working current or voltage. When determining
component ratings and load values, the component open
circuit voltage and short circuit current at STC should be
multiplied by 1.25. When determining the appropriate
conductor and fuse size, the short-circuit current must be
multiplied by 1.25 in accordance with local regulations, and
the open-circuit voltage multiplied by the correction factor.

Storage and unpacking
Precautionary measures and general safety rules
·The components should be stored in a dry and ventilated
environment.
The components must be shipped in the box supplied with
the Photonic Universe and stored in the original box before
installation. Please protect the packaging not to
Damaged. Unpack the components in the recommended
unpacking steps. Open the packaging,
Transport and storage should be handled with care.
· Do not apply excessive load or twist to components.
• Do not carry the components through the wires or junction
boxes of the unit
Shall be carried by two or more persons holding the
components.
•
The overhead assembly is prohibited.
• Do not stack components.
• Do not drop or stack items (such as mounting tools) on the
unit.
• Do not grasp the terminal block or the cable to lift the entire
assembly.
Before installing the PV modules, check whether the
components are damaged during transport and do not install
damaged PV modules. If you find damaged PV modules,
contact Photonic Universe to obtain the information you need
to complain about defective PV modules.
The PV module's surface is vulnerable, and damaged PV
modules may affect its performance and safety; do not
damage or scratch the surface of PV modules. For your
safety, do not disassemble or modify the components in any
way that may affect the performance and safety of the
components, even cause irreparable damage, and void any
trial warranties.

Component Installation
Do not install components near flames or combustible
objects.
•Do not immerse the components in water (pure water
or salt water) or long-term water (pure water or salt
water) (such as fountains, spray, etc.).
•
Ensure that the components meet the overall technical
requirements of the system.
Allow the series components to increase the voltage or
increase the current in parallel. In series, the positive
terminal of the module is connected to the next
negative terminal. When connected in parallel, the
positive terminal of the module is connected to the
positive terminal of the next module.
•The number of bypass diodes provided will vary
depending on the model of the component.
•Up to two strings of components can be connected in
parallel without using an overcurrent protector (fuse) in
series with each string. Three strings or more can be
connected in parallel, provided that an appropriately
validated overcurrent protection is connected in series
with each string.
Avoid shadows
• Even small shadows (eg dust, bird droppings, branches)
can cause a drop in power generation. If all surfaces are
unobstructed throughout the year, the component is
considered "shadowless." To ensure that even in the shortest
day of sunshine throughout the year, the sun can still shine
on the components. When the components are installed in
the car, parking should avoid buildings, trees and other
shade of the block.
• Frequent blockage of components can result in aging of the
EVA and persistent heating of the cell sheet, which may
result in damage to the components and can not be used.

Component Wiring
Correct electrical wiring
·Check that the wiring is correct before starting the

| 7
system。If the measured open-circuit voltage (Voc)
and short-circuit current (Isc) do not match the
specifications provided, there may be a wiring fault.
The correct connection of the electrical plug
·
。Make sure the connectors are tightened and
properly connected. The connector must not be
subjected to external pressure
. The connector can only be used for circuit
connection functions and shall not be used to open
and close circuits.
•The connector connections should be kept dry and
clean to prevent rain from getting wet. Avoid even
The receiver is exposed to direct sunlight and water
soak.
5.2
Ground
•Device ground: The semi-flexible component has no
exposed conductors, so grounding is not required in
accordance with NEC regulations.
•If the mounting bracket is a conductor or requires
grounding, make sure that the entire system is installed
to meet local electrical codes and regulations.
