How do I install a solar photovoltaic system?

Installing solar photovoltaic systems requires specialized skills and knowledge. Installation should only be performed by qualified personnel. Before installing a solar photovoltaic system, installers should familiarize themselves with its mechanical and electrical requirements.

Which materials should be used to install photovoltaic modules?

JA Solar recommends that when installing modules at the seaside, stainless steel or aluminum materials should be used to contact the photovoltaic modules, and the installation parts should be well protected from corrosion. The tilt angle of the modules is measured between the surface of the modules and a horizontal ground surface.

How does a photovoltaic system work?

The heart of a photovoltaic system is the solar module. Many photovoltaic cells are wired together by the manufacturer to produce a solar module. When installed at a site, solar modules are wired together in series to form strings. Strings of modules are connected in parallel to form an array.

How to install a PV module?

Ensure the module length is align with the rails ends. 2. Place second PV module into rail, leaving a 20mm gap between modules and insert the mid clamps, slide the PV module flush against mid clamp closely, then tighten the mid clamp screw to 10 N·m using 6 mm Allen key or hex driver bit. Repeat procedure for follow mid clamps.

How do I set up a solar panel?

Note: When setting up your system, the solar panels should be out of the sun or covered for safety reasons. Step 1: Hook up the battery to the charge controller. Connect the battery terminal wires to the charge controller FIRST, then connect the solar panel (s) to the charge controller.

What is UL Standard 1703 for photovoltaic modules & panels?

An addendum to UL Standard 1703 “Flat Plate Photovoltaic Modules and Panels” recommends metal combinations not exceed an electrochemical potential difference of 0.6 Volts. The frame rails have pre-drilled holes marked with a grounding sign. These holes should be used for grounding purposes and must not be used for mounting the modules.
