INSTALLATION Water entering the junction box could present a safety hazard, and junction boxes should be oriented on the uppermost position of the panel. The junction box should never be mounted in a depression. Note the junction box manufacturer rates this product with an ingress protection rating of IP67 for the box.
INSTALLATION WARNING: Three or more series connected panels can produce voltages in excess of 60V DC which is considered to be high voltage and an increased safety hazard. To connect panels in series, connect the negative (-) plug of panel #1 to the positive (+) plug of the panel #2. See Figure4-A left. PARALLEL CONNECTION: Connecting the panels in parallel increases the current of the system, so the two panels produce double the current as compared to one panel.
INSTALLATION 4.4 CABLE ENTRY PLATE - OPTION 3 1. Remove the rubber sealing caps from the ends of the MC4 connectors in the CEP . 2. Plug the Positive and Negative MC4 Connectors from the solar panels directly into the CEP 3.
