What is included in the JA Solar Module installation manual?

Thank you for choosing JA SOALR Modules! This Installation Manual contains essential information for electrical and mechanical installation that you should know before handling, installing JA Solar Modules. This Manual also contains safety information you need to be familiar with.

Can JA Solar modules corrode?

JA Solar Modules have passed the IEC 61701 salt-mist, but galvanic corrosion can occur between the aluminum frame of the Modules and mounting or grounding hardware if such hardware is comprised of dissimilar metals. JA Solar recommends that only stainless steel and aluminum metal directly contact Modules in seaside installations to limit corrosion.

How JA Solar modules work?

JA Solar Modules use an anodic oxidized aluminum frame to resist corrosion. So the frame of Modules should be connected to the equipment grounding conductor to prevent thunder and electrical shock. The grounding device should fully contact with the inside of the aluminum alloy, and should penetrate the surface of the frame oxidation film.

Do JA Solar modules need a dc cathode?

For optimal performance, JA Solar Modules should only be used in configurations where the DC cathode of the Modules array is connected to ground. Failure to comply with this requirement will reduce the performance of the system and invalidate JA Solar’s Limited Power Warranty for Modules.

Is JA Solar liable for a loss or damage arising from a module?

JA Solar does not assume responsibility and expressly disclaims liability for loss, damage, or expense arising out of or in any way connected with installation, operation, use or maintenance of Modules. No responsibility is assumed by JA Solar for any infringement of patents or other rights of third parties that may result from use of Modules.

Can JA Solar modules be used in outer space?

JA Solar Modules are intended for use in terrestrial applications only—no outer space marine or vehicle use. Modules should not be installed nor operated in areas where, salt, hail, snow, sand, dust, air pollution, chemically active vapors, acid rain, soot, etc., are excessive.
