4. Electrical Installation and Grounding Installation 4.1.1 The electrical characteristics are within ±10 percent of the indicated values of Isc. Voc and Pmp under test conditions (irradiance of 100 mW/cm2,AM1.5 spectrum, and a cell temperature of 25°C). 4.1.2 The maximum system voltage for all module series is 600 V for North American Market and 1000V for European Market.
Grounding Figure 7. Grounding the aluminum frame with copper wire. 4.2.1 Use the marked 5.5 mm grounding holes (5.5mm) to ground the anodized frame. Use an M5 nut, two M5 cut washers, an M5 plain washer, an M5 spring washer, and an M5 bolt and a copper wire. All nuts, bolts, and washers are type M5 and should be made of stainless steel (as in figure 8).
