  • Page 3: Chapter 1 General Information

    Always observe Industry Best Practices when handling, installing, and using this product. This guide is designed for use by trained and certified solar professionals only. BenQ Solar does not assume responsibility for loss, damage or expense resulting from installation, handling or use of this product.
  • Page 4: Guidelines For Safe Handling And Installation

    COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES, RULES AND REGULATIONS. 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.
  • Page 5 Please use caution when handling any module. Remove all metallic jewelry prior to installing this product to reduce the chance of accidental exposure to live circuits. Use properly insulated tools to reduce your risk of electric shock. Do not touch the terminals while the module is exposed to light. During installation use suitable protection prevent a discharge of at least 30 direct current volts to each person on crew.

  • Page 7: Chapter 2 Benq Solar Module Specifications

    Chapter 2 BenQ Solar Module Specifications 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. BenQ Solar modules electrical characteristics depend on module Series and Wattage. Please refer to the tables below to learn more about the characteristics of your module(s).

    PM318B00/B01_330 64.9 6.52 54.7 6.04 PM096B00/B01_330 2.6 Performance of PV Modules A PV module may produce more current and/or voltage than reported at STC. Sunny, cool weather and reflection from snow or water can increase current and power output. Therefore, the values of Isc and Voc shown below should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor capacities, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to PV output.
  • Page 10: Chapter 3 Mounting Guidelines

    20N.m. • Refer to product datasheet for the module dimensions and mounting hole locations. PM200M00 / PM245P00 / PM250M01 / PM300P00 Secure the modules to the structure using four stainless steel bolts, with nuts, washers, and lock washers. Only the existing mounting holes (Diameter: 9mm) that can be used for module to meet 5400Pa design strength under IEC 61215/ IEC 61730 and to meet 2400Pa design strength under UL 1703.
  • Page 11: Mounting With Clamps

    • Measurements of D1, D2, D3, and D4 below describe the centerline of the mounting clamp to the edge of the module frame. • Clips and clamps are not provided by BenQ Solar. • There are two clamping methods available (see below for specific measurements):...
  • Page 12 Figure 3 Short rail mounting clamp range (D3 and D4) PM200M00 Module Clamp Location Details • Long rail clamping for 5400 Pa design strength: clamp between D1 – 227 mm (8.94 in) and D2 – 296 mm (11.65 in) from the closest short side of the module.
  • Page 13: Chapter 4 Electrical Installation: Wiring And Grounding

    Chapter 4 Electrical Installation: Wiring and Grounding 4.1 Wiring DO NOT do any change or adjustment on the cable of Junction Box. DO NOT disconnect cable by yourself! IMPORTANT The cable must not be bent or crushed on the direct exit of the cable screw joint. A minimum bending radius r≥4x (static steady), r≥5x (dynamic) cable diameter must be maintained.
  • Page 14 • 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 15: System Grounding (Negative)

    4.2 System Grounding (Negative) PM200M00/PM245P00/PM250M01/PM300P00 BenQ Solar PV modules have a clearly marked grounding hole on each side of the frame for inserting the ground contact. The grounding screw and bolt are separately used from the mounting parts of the module.
  • Page 16: System Grounding (Positive)

    4.3 System Grounding (Positive) PM318B00/PM318B01/PM096B01 For optimal performance, BenQ Solar modules must only be used in configurations with galvanically insulated inverters where the positive (+) polarity of the PV array is connected to ground protected by a fuse. In addition, the module frame should be grounded. Failure to comply with this requirement will reduce the performance of the system and invalidate BenQ solar Limited Power Warranty for PV Modules.
  • Page 17 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. The modules are qualified for the application class A: Hazardous voltage (IEC 61730: higher than 50V;...
  • Page 18: Chapter 5 Maintenance

    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 19: Module Cleaning Instructions

    Do not leave stagnant water on glass surface. 5.3 Cleaning the Frame BenQ Solar module frames include an anodic oxide coating to increase produce life. The cleaning cycle for regular anodic oxide coatings is generally every six months. When cleaning, be sure not to damage or scratch this coating.
  • Page 20 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. 2013/10/08...
  • Page 21: Chapter 6 Certifications

    Chapter 6 Certifications 6.1 IEC Certification The PV modules provided by BenQ Solar all pass the design qualification and type approval standard IEC 61215 edition 2. The PV modules provided by BenQ Solar all pass the safety qualification standard IEC 61730 certified for application class A.
