3 Installation
Material damage due to connection errors.
| Only use solar modules of the same type and
output for parallel connection. Take measures
for overcurrent protection (e.g. line fuse) if
necessary. Never exceed the specified re-
verse current loadability of the solar modules.
| Make sure that only solar modules with the
same amperage (Impp) are interconnected for
series connection and make sure that the
voltages of lines connected in parallel are the
same. Even at low temperatures, never ex-
ceed the maximum permissible system volt-
age of the solar modules.
| Make sure that the number and connection of
the solar modules match the electrical values
specified by the devices connected to the
photovoltaic system.
| Make sure that the polarity is correct.
3.3.4 Connecting solar module
On the rear of the solar module, there is a connection
(11)
box
with the connection cables
and the socket
(14)
.

ule. The length of the connection cables
1,000 mm each and the cross-section 4 mm
The permissible ambient temperature range of
the cables ranges from –40 °C to +85 °C
1. Take the plug
lar module out of the holder.
2. Connect the plug of one solar module to the
socket on the next solar module.
3. Twist the plug and socket to lock together.
4. Connect the plug and socket of the last so-
lar module within an electrical string to the
string cable leading to the inverter.

3.3.5 Earthing
The earthing requirements must be checked in accor-
dance with the applicable regulations and standards
before work is started.
The positions of the earthing holes are shown in Fig. 3-1.
The earthing cable can be mounted on one of
the two holes in the module frame (5 mm dia.)
(see Fig. 3-1).
Avoid contact corrosion when using different
metals and observe electro-chemical insulation
rating.
As an option, stainless-steel terminals with pins
can also be used for earthing the solar mod-
ules, which penetrate the anodised layer of the
module frame during installation. These stain-
less-steel terminals are available together with
(13)
earthing terminals (for the connection of the
installation frame to the earth) from the manu-
facturer.
Observe the applicable regulations.
