DC electrical components. The maximum system voltage of Tongwei modules is DC1000 V/DC1500 V, and the actual system voltage is designed according to the selected module model, inverter and electrical system.
the damage caused by lightning strikes, the loop area must be kept as small as possible when laying cables. ➢ In a system with two or more modules connected in series, if some modules are shaded from the sun while other modules face the sun, a very high reverse current will pass through the partially or completely covered battery, which can cause overheating of the battery and possibly damage the module.
8.4 Grounding ➢ All module frames and mounting brackets must be properly grounded in accordance with the relevant electrical design and construction specifications, procedures, regulations and other special grounding requirements of the place where the modules are installed. ➢ Proper grounding shall be achieved by continuously connecting the module frame and all metal parts together with a suitable grounding conductor. The grounding conductor or ground wire may be a material, such as copper, that conforms to the electrical conductors specified within the applicable electrical design and construction codes, rules, and regulations for the place of installation.
09 MODULE MAINTENANCE ➢ In order to ensure the safe operation and optimal performance of modules, regular inspection and maintenance must be carried out on modules. 9.1 Appearance Inspection of Modules ➢ It is recommended to carry out preventive inspection every 6 months, focusing on the following items: ◇...

cleaning shall be carried out according to the electrical structure of PV plant, and it shall be ensured that each cleaning can cover all modules connected by several combiner boxes or inverters. ➢ Cleaning steps: ◇ 1. Cleaning: Use a dry duster or rag to remove the attachments on the surface of modules, such as dry floating ash and leaves. If the surface of modules is free from other attachments and cleaned by this step, the following steps may be skipped.
