    General Information General Information 1.1 Introduction The following is the product installation guide for ZEP compatible BenQ Solar photovoltaic modules. Please read these instructions in entirety before using this product in any way. Failure to comply with the installation instructions within this document can void the BenQ Solar Limited Warranty for this product.
  • Page 4: General Safety Reminders

    In addition to the applicable rules and regulations, please follow all guidelines for safe handling and/or installation of BenQ Solar modules. In addition to the guidelines below, always observe industry best practices when handling and/or installing any BenQ Solar module.

Remove all metallic jewelry prior to installing this product to reduce the chance of accidental exposure to live circuits.
  • Page 6: Performance Of Pv Modules

    The module electrical ratings are measured under Standard Test Conditions (STC) of 1000W/m2 irradiance with AM 1.5G spectrum and a cell temperature of 25ºC. Electrical characteristics of BenQ Solar modules vary slightly by wattage; refer to table below. Pmax Pmax...
  • Page 7: Chapter 3 Installation

    Do not install the modules where there may be flammable gases or vapors, since sparks may be produced. BenQ Modules can be installed using any option described in the Mounting Options section, including the Zep mounting system, per the instructions in this manual.
  • Page 8: Mounting Options

    3.3 Mounting Options Z Z Z Z EP EP EP EP MOUNTING MOUNTING MOUNTING MOUNTING OPTIONS OPTIONS OPTIONS OPTIONS While installing modules using Zep mounting hardware, PM245P01 modules must be installed in accordance to the applicable Zep Installation Guide (either ZS Comp™ or ZS Span™). For in-depth information, please download the latest Zep Manual form the website of Zep Solar.
  • Page 9 SCREWING SCREWING SCREWING SCREWING Secure the module to the structure using the factory mounting holes. The torque wrench must be used for assembly. In the examples shown, the tightening torque must be 20N.m. Use the existing holes for securing the module; do not drill any additional holes (doing so will void the warranty).
  • Page 10 CLAMPING CLAMPING CLAMPING CLAMPING Note that the clamping clips on the side frame should be installed in parallel to each other. The cross-section dimension of Back rail should be larger than 40mm*80mm. When Clamping on longer side frame, the side frames of clamping should touch longer sides of the module to ensure tight connection between frame and clamping.

  • Page 17: Limitation Of Connection (Etl)

    A series protection fuse of 15A is recommended for each string when module strings are wired in parallel. BenQ Solar recommends the PV conductor, which cross section is 4 mm2. External connection boxes can be used to enable greater cable cross section area for long distance transmission.
  • Page 18: Installation

    The cross section for the conductors must be ensured that the voltage drop during the installation does not exceed 2% of its nominal voltage. BenQ Solar PV modules are supplied with or without cables, according to where they are ordered. Should they be supplied without cables, it is recommended that cables with cross sections between 4 and 10 mm2 be used.
  • Page 19: Installation

    maintenance work on the modules. Do not touch the terminals while the module is exposed to light. Install with suitable protection to redirect a discharge of 30 or more direct current volts to if delivered any person on the installation team. Please prevent adherent of oil such as paraffin liquid, animal oil and vegetable oil form molding parts.
  • Page 20: Chapter 5 Maintenance

    Inspect all modules annually for safe electrical connections, sound mechanical connection, and corrosion. BenQ Solar PV module may use anti-reflective coating (ARC) glass to enhance power output. Do not to touch glass surface unless wearing clean gloves in order to prevent fingerprints or smudges on the ARC.
  • Page 21: Module Cleaning Instructions

    BenQ Solar PV modules can withstand snow pressure of 2400 Pa.(UL 1703) Please use soft brush lightly removing snow pileup. Do not try to remove frozen snow and solid ice on the module (it will eventually melt off).
  • Page 22: Visual Inspection Of The Module

    Check the tightness and condition of the connection cable junctions. Check the junction box sealing. Should sealing faults be observed, the items which have been affected should be replaced and cleaned. Contact BenQ Solar for additional information about resolving faults in module seal.
