INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR LONGi PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES OF DG 3.4 Electrical Performance Safety PV modules can produce DC current under sunlight. Any contact of exposed metal at module's wiring parts may result in electrical shock or burn. Any contact of 30 V or larger DC Voltage can be fatal.
INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR LONGi PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES OF DG Before unpacking, please place the modules in a ventilated, dry, and rainproof site, avoid direct outdoor exposure and accompany with shading/rain shelter facilities. If it require a long term storage, please do not remove the original pack- aging and ensure that the original packaging is intact.
Do not install modules at places that are possible to be flooded. LONGi suggests that modules be installed in the working environment with the temperature of -40 ℃ to 40 ℃ of which is the monthly average highest and lowest temperature of the installation sites. The extreme working environment temperature for modules is -40 ℃...

Module and bracket system connection can be realized by mounting holes, clamps or embedded systems. Installation shall follow the demonstration and suggestions below. If installation mode is different, please consult LONGi customer service personnel and obtain approval. Otherwise, modules may be damaged and limited warranty will be invalid. (* Note: regarding to Anti-Soiling modules only, short edge design has applied on prevention of dust from accumulating on modules, therefore , do not install at the short edge.

The open circuit voltage value under the expected lowest temperature shall not exceed the maximum system voltage value allowed by modules and other values required by DC electric parts. (LONGi modules maximum system voltage is DC1000 V/DC1500 V---actually system voltage is designed based on the selected module and inverter model) The correction value of VOC can be calculated by the following formula.
(such as EN50618 approval). Need to select appropriate wire specifications to reduce voltage drop. LONGi requires that all wiring and electrical connections comply with the appropriate National Electrical Codes. When cables are fixed on the bracket, avoid mechanical damaging cables or modules. Do not press cables by force.
6.4 Bypass Diode LONGi solar module junction box contains bypass diode which is in parallel connection with the cell string. If hot spot occurred, the diode will come into operation to stop the main current from flowing through the hot spot cells in order to prevent module over-heated and performance loss.
Mounting holes on modules that are not occupied can be used for installing grounding devices. The third party grounding device can be used for grounding of LONGi modules but such grounding method shall be proved to be reliable. Grounding device shall be operated in line with stipulations of the manufacturer.
Do not use acid and alkaline detergents to clean modules. Do not use tool with rough surface to clean in any case. In order to avoid potential risk of electrical shock or burn, LONGi suggests cleaning the modules during early morning or evening with low irradiance and low modules temperature especially for the hot regions.
