What is tilt angle of PV module?

Tilt angle of PV modules refer to the included angle between module surface and horizontal ground. The module will obtain the maximum power output when directly facing the sunlight. Modules are preferred to be south-facing in the north hemisphere and north-facing in the south hemisphere.

What is the clamp size for a PV module?

For framed PV module, the clamp must overlap the module frame at least 8 mm (0.32 inch) but no more than 11 mm (0.43 inch). The cross section of clamp can be adjusted if the module is securely fastened. For frameless PV module, the clamp must overlap the module frame at maximum 15 mm (0.59 inch).

Can a framed PV module be blocked by a clamp?

The drain holes of module cannot be blocked by clamps. For framed PV module, the clamp must overlap the module frame at least 8 mm (0.32 inch) but no more than 11 mm (0.43 inch). The cross section of clamp can be adjusted if the module is securely fastened.

Can PV modules produce DC current under sunlight?

PV modules can produce DC current under sunlight. Any contact of exposed metal at module's wiring parts may result in electrical shock or burn. Any contact of 30V or larger DC Voltage can be fatal. In case of no connected load or external circuits, modules can still produce voltage.

How LONGi Solar module junction box works?

LONGi solar module junction box contains bypass diode which is in parallel connection with the cell string. If hot spot occurred, the diode will come into operation to stop the main current from flowing through the hot spot cells in order to prevent module over-heated and performance loss.

What type of wire do I need to install a solar panel?

The installer can only use single-wire cable, ≥ 4mm2 (12 AWG), 90 °C , with proper insulation capability to withstand the maximum open circuit voltage (such as EN50618 approval). Need to select appropriate wire specifications to reduce voltage drop.
