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.

Can a photovoltaic system be connected to a building electrical installation?

Indeed, a photovoltaic system can be connected to the building electrical installation at different places: to the main low-voltage (LV) switchboard, to a secondary LV switchboard, or upstream from the main LV switchboard. These options, their advantages and drawbacks are discussed in this blog post. 1.

Can a PV module be switched off?

PV modules produce electricity when exposed to daylight and individual modules cannot be switched off. Hence, unlike most other electrical installation work, the electrical installation of a PV system typically involves working on a live system. See requirements of Regulation 14 of Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

How to connect a module and a bracket system?

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 and obtain approval. Otherwise, modules may be damaged and quality warranty will become invalid.

What happens if a PV module reaches 30 volts?

Any contact of 30 V or larger DC Voltage can be fatal. In case of no connected load or external circuits, modules can still produce voltage. Please use insulation tools and wear rubber gloves when operating modules in the sunlight. No switch is on the PV modules.

Do PV modules need to be connected to ground?

PV module installation site is exposed to long-term humid conditions such as floating PV system. To reduce the risk of PID, on the modules DC connection site, it is recommended to connect the negative to ground. As part of the module design, an anodized corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy frame is used to provide rigidity.
