STORAGE STORAGE STORAGE STORAGE When storing modules for any period of time, cover modules to ensure protection from the elements. Take special steps to cover/protect the module connectors.. When storing the modules, turn so that the glass is face down. Do not allow water or dust to collect inside module, this can damage module connectors.
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).

Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Mounti Mounti Mounti Mounting ng ng ng Guidelines Guidelines Guidelines Guidelines Modules may be mounted at any angle from horizontal to vertical. Select the appropriate orientation to maximize sunlight exposure. A gap between the module and system structure or ground is required to prevent wire damage and to allow air to circulate behind the module.
5400 Pa design strength. 3.2 Mounting with Clamps • Clips and clamps are not provided by BenQ Solar. • The clamping clips on the side frame must be in parallel – equidistant from the closest module frame corner (see Figure 1).

Wiring, Connecting , Connecting , Connecting and Grounding , Connecting and Grounding and Grounding and Grounding BenQ Modules BenQ Modules BenQ Modules BenQ Modules 4.1 Wiring & Connecting DO NOT make any change to the cable or Junction Box. DO NOT disconnect DC Cables alone, someone should always be nearby! DO NOT disconnect/connect modules while they are under load! DO NOT assemble the connector with wet or dirty hands.

• The DC conductors must be properly gauged so that the voltage drop does not exceed 2% of the nominal voltage. • BenQ Solar PV modules are supplied with or without cables, according to where they are ordered. If supplied without cables, it is recommended that cables with cross sections between 4 and 10 mm be used.
Box and connectors. 4.2 Module Grounding 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 usually sold separately from the mounting equipment.
PM060M02 PM060M02 PM060M02 For optimal performance, BenQ Solar modules should only be used in conjunction with galvanically insulated inverters where the negative (-) polarity of the PV array is connected to ground protected by a fuse. 4.4 System Grounding (Positive)
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 mm . External connection boxes can be used to enable greater cable cross section area for long distance transmission.

Recommended maximum series/parallel module configurations for 1000V inverter. Maximum series = 1000V / Product Voc / 1.25 (safety factor) Example : The Voc of PM200M00_200 is 30.4V,then the maximum series/parallel module configurations for 1000V inverter is 26. Formula 1000V / 30.4V / 1.25 = 26...
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...
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.
Chapter 6 Certification 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.
