MODULE SPECIFICATIONS


Module specifications are shown in
Table 1-1, Table 1-2 and Figure 1.
(Electrical specifications, mechanical
specifications, ENPHASE Microin-
verter IQ7X-96-ACM-US Specifica-
tion, module dimensions)
1) Rated electrical characteristics are
within the range of –5% to +10% of
the values measured at Standard
Test Conditions (STC). STC condi-
tions are; Irradiance of 1000W/m
25°C cell temperature, AM1.5 and
solar spectral irradiance per IEC
60904-3. Note: At the time of ship-
ment, Panasonic guarantees the
output level of its modules to be -0/
+10% against Rated Power in SPECI-
FICATIONS based on factory inspec-
tion at STC conditions.
2) Under real conditions, a photovolta-
ic module may experience condi-
tions that produce more current
and/or voltage than reported at
Standard Test Conditions. There-
fore, the Isc value of modules
should be multiplied by a factor of
1.25 to determine ampacity. An
additional factor of 1.25 may be
required for sizing conductors, fus-
es, disconnects, etc. Please refer to
section 690.8 of the National Electric
Code (NEC) for guidelines. The Voc
must be factored according to the
lowest recorded ambient tempera-
ture recorded for the location
where the modules will be installed.
Please refer to section 690.7 of the
NEC for more information regarding
voltage temperature factors.


VBHN330SA17E is equipped with
Microinverter. Refer to Table 1-2 for
Microinverter specifications.

Microinverters are DC-AC inverters
connected to PV modules in order
to maximize power harvesting by
performing Maximum Power Point
Tracking (MPPT) at the module
level.

MECHANICAL LOADING

2
,

The modules should be mounted at
the four (4) quarter points by the
means shown in Figure 1.

This method offers a maximum load
shown as "Mount Location and
Load Resistance" in Table 1-3 in a
static state on the module surface.

Note: This mechanical loading value
was tested using the mounting de-
vice specified in section "MODULE
INSTALLATION"

As UL Certified Load Ratings, this
module meets design loads as be-
low.
1) Positive load with Long frame
mounting
・ 33 psf (0-450mm range from edge
･ 75 psf (230-380mm range from edge)
2) Negative load with Long frame

The fire rating of this module is valid
only when mounted in the manner
specified in the mechanical mount-
ing instructions.
The models in this instructions are
suitable to maintain the System Fire
Class Rating A when used with a
Listed mounting system and a roof
covering that have been rated as a
Class A System when installed on a
steep slope roof and/or a low slope
roof with "Type 2" modules.
