Operating Conditions
Panasonic requires that modules are
operated within the
Operating Conditions:
1) Terrestrial applications
outer space or Special Conditions
(see below).
2) The ambient temperature must be
within –20°C (-4°F) to 40°C (104 °F).
The temperature limits are defined
as the Monthly Average High or Low
of the installation site.
3) The wind pressure
installation site should be less than
2,400N/m 2 (50PSF)
4) Some environmental
could apply. Please

measured at Standard
Conditions (STC). STC conditions are;
Irradiance of 1000W/m
temperature, and
irradiance per IEC 60904-3. Note: At
the time of shipment, Panasonic
guarantees the output level of its
modules to be -0/+10%

2) Under real conditions, a photovoltaic
module may experience conditions

voltage than reported at Standard
Test Conditions. Therefore, the Isc

factor of 1.25 may be required for
sizing conductors, fuses, disconnects,
etc. Please refer to section 690.8 of
