How to install a solar photovoltaic system?

The installer should conform to all the safety precautions listed in this guide when installing the module. Local codes should also be followed in such installations. Before installing a solar photovoltaic system, the installer should become familiar with the mechanical and electrical requirement for such a system.

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 to install PV modules in hot and humid environment?

PV modules install under hot and humid weather condition. PV modules installation site is under long-term humid environment such as water floating application. To reduce the risk of PID, on the modules DC connection site, it is recommended to connect the negative to ground.

What are the standard test conditions for photovoltaic modules?

Standard Test Conditions: 1000W/m2 Irradiance, 25°C Cell Temperature and 1.5 Air Mass. Under normal conditions, the photovoltaic modules may experience conditions that produce more current and/or voltage than reported at Standard Test Conditions.

What are the requirements for mounting a solar module?

Mounting structure shall be made from durable, corrosion resistant, UV-proof materials. Modules shall be fixed on the bracket solidly. In regions with heavy snowfall in winter, adjust the height of the mounting system so that the lower edge of the module is not covered by snow.

Who is required to provide technical datasheets for solar PV panels?

The contractor must provide technical datasheets of the proposed solar PV panels. Preference will be given to panel manufacturers that have an Australian office and employees. Preference given to manufacturers that have Australian based technical support, servicing and warranty claim service.
