ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 6.1 ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE ●The nominal values of electrical performance parameters such as Isc, Voc and Pmax of Galaxy Plus products have an error of ±3% from those under standard test conditions. Standard test conditions for Galaxy Plus products: irradiance 1000 W/m2, cell temperature 25° C, atmospheric mass AM 1.5.
Page 29
6.2 CABLE AND CONNECTING WIRES ● Galaxy Plus products shall be connected by using IP67-rated junction boxes, which shall provide safe protection for the conductors and their corresponding connections, and accessible protection for non-insulated live parts. The junction box consists of a connected cable and IP67-rated connectors to facilitate a series connection between Galaxy Plus products.
6.4 BYPASS DIODE ● The cell strings within a solar module are protected by bypass diodes in parallel and encapsulated in a junction box. When a hot spot phenomenon occurs locally in a module, the diode will activate so that string current no longer flows from the hot spot cells, thus limiting module heating and performance loss.

④ AC and DC cables should be run in different conduits to ensure safety. ⑤ After the cable is installed, the joints should be glued and sealed to prevent water from seeping into the conduit. The opening of exposed conduits should be plugged with a soft cloth to avoid the entry of foreign objects.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Products require regular inspection and maintenance, especially during the warranty period. To ensure optimum performance, GOODWE recommends the following measures: 8.1 VISUAL INSPECTION: Visual inspection of the product for damage or other conspicuous features, focusing on the following: ①...
Page 35
8.2 CLEANING ① Dust and dirt on the surface of the product will reduce the power output. GOODWE recommends using a sponge or soft cloth containing water to wipe the glass surface and strictly forbids the use of cleaning agents containing acids or alkalis to clean the product.
Page 36
② First rinse the product with clean water, and then wipe the water stains dry with a soft cloth, it is strictly prohibited to use corrosive solvents to clean or wipe PV products with hard objects. ③ PV products should be cleaned at irradiance below 200W/m2, preferably when there is no sunlight or in the morning and evening.
