Page 14: Chapter 3 Module Electrical Connection Guidelines
Please note that the maximum voltage in series connection cannot exceed the Module's maximum permissible voltage (the maximum permissible voltage of the AUO Photovoltaic Module is 1,000 VDC, as specified on the back of the Module). Similarly, the maximum current in parallel connection of modules is the total current of all modules. -
Page 15: Module Grounding Method
Figure 8: The Minimum Bend Radius of the Cable The cable may be applicable for outdoor use and resistant to ultra-violet radiation but the cable should be protected from direct sunlight or immersion in water. When necessary, sunlight resistant cable trays or cable ties can be used to fix the cable at suitable positions (please avoid damage or heavy pressure on the cable during fixture). -
Page 16: Bolted Grounding
Figure 9: Module Grounding Hole Illustration. Please refer to the corresponding Module Data Sheet for detailed quantity, size and position of grounding holes. The components required for grounding the module shall adopt materials that are resistant to corrosion and ultraviolet and suitable for outdoor use. Avoid electrochemical corrosion (Galvanic corrosion) caused by contact between the Module frame and different metals during grounding. -
Page 17: Using Certified Grounding Device For Grounding
Failure to correctly ground the system will lower system performance and void the AUO Photovoltaic Module's limited warranty on output. Please connect grounding in accordance with IEC Standards or the electrical codes and regulations of the site/country of installation to ensure that the system is correctly grounded. -
Page 18: Chapter 4 Maintenance Guidelines
Chapter 4 Maintenance Guidelines Periodic inspections and maintenance can improve the performance and reliability of the solar photovoltaic system. The following methods are recommended for inspections and maintenance. 4.1 Cleaning Modules It is recommended to clean the modules at least once every year. The actual cleaning frequency is dependent on the environmental conditions of the installation site. -
