What is included in a solar installation manual?

This installation manual contains important electrical and mechanical installation information as well as safety information that you must be familiar with, providing important safety instructions for the installation, use and maintenance of solar modules.

Do PV modules need to be updated?

As the work of IEC TC 82 has progressed, a number of new standards for PV components and balance of system equipment have been introduced. Accordingly, the requirements for the safety of PV modules must also be updated to reference these new standards and to fully leverage the benefits that can be achieved by compliance with their requirements.

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 photovoltaic ready guidelines?

M154-122/2019E-PDF - Government of Canada Publications - Canada.ca Photovoltaic ready : guidelines. "The Photovoltaic (PV) Ready Guidelines describe design considerations and specify modifications builders can make to new attached and detached homes in preparation for the installation of a future large array photovoltaic system.

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.

What is a PV module?

The installers must inform end-users (consumers) the aforesaid information accordingly. The word "module" or "PV module" used in this manual refers to one or more CS-series solar modules. Please retain this manual for future reference.
