Technology Co.,Ltd. photovoltaic module (hereafter is referred to as module). Installers must read and understand the guide before installation. Any questions, please contact our sales department for further explanations. The installer should conform to all safety precautions in the guide and local codes when installing a module. Before installing a solar photovoltaic system, installers should become familiar with the mechanical and electrical requirement for such a system. Keep this guide in a safe place for future reference (care and maintenance) and in case of sale or disposal of the modules. General installation Installing solar photovoltaic systems may require specialized skills and knowledge. Installation should be performed only by qualified persons. Each module comes with a permanently attached junction box. Borun can provide customers with fitted cables for ease of installation if desired. Installers should assume the risk of all injury that might occur during installation, including, without limitation, the risk of electric shock. Do not disconnect under load. Photovoltaic solar modules change light energy to direct-current electrical energy. Modules may be ground mounted, mounted on rooftops, vehicles or boats. Proper design of support structures is responsibility of the system designers and installers. Do not attempt to disassemble the modules, and do not remove any attached nameplates or components from the modules. Do not apply paint or adhesive to module top surface. When installing the system, abide with all local, regional and national statutory regulations. Obtain a building permit where necessary. The modules are qualified for application class A: Hazardous voltage (IEC 61730: higher than 50V DC; EN 61730: higher than 120V), hazardous power applications (higher than 240W) where general contact access is anticipated (Modules qualified for safety through EN IEC 61730-1 and -2 within this application class are considered to meet the requirements for Safety Class II.

The assembly is to be mounted over a fire resistant roof covering rated for the application. Safety precaution Solar modules generate electricity as soon as they are exposed to light. One module on its own is below the safety extra low volt level, but multiple modules connected in series (summing the voltage) or in parallel (summing the current) represent a danger. The following points must be observed when handling the solar modules to avoid the risk of fire, sparking and fatal electric shock. Keep children well away from the system while transporting and installing mechanical and electrical components. Completely cover the module with an opaque material during installation to keep electricity from being generated. Do not wear metallic rings, watchbands, ear, nose, lip rings or other metallic devices while installing or troubleshooting photovoltaic systems. Abide with the safety regulations for all other components used in the system, including wiring and cables, connectors, charging regulators, inverters, storage batteries and rechargeable batteries, etc. Use only equipment, connectors, wiring and support frames suitable for a solar electric system. Always use the same type of module within a particular photovoltaic system. The electrical characteristics are within 5 percent of the indicated values of Isc, Voc, and Pmax under standard test conditions (irradiance of 1000W/m2, AM 1.5 spectrums, and a cell temperature of 25C (77F)). The artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on the module. Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module is likely to experience conditions that produce more current and/or voltage than reported at standard test conditions. The suggested fuse must be used for overcurrent protection. Accordingly, the values of Isc and Voc marked on this module should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor ampacity, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to the PV output. The maximum load on the module must not exceed 2400Pa. To avoid exceeding the maximum load, site-specific live loads such as wind and would be taken into account. Installation shall be in accordance with local standard and conditions. Product Identification Each module has a unique serial number / bar code to
www.bldsolar.com
distinguish the make and model of each panel. The structure of module serial number is defined by the following rule:
BLD * * * It represents the material of solar cells. M stands for monocrystalline solar cells. P stands for polycrystalline solar cells. It represents how many cells there are in one module series. It is described in Arabic numerals. It represents optimum output of solar modules and is described in Arabic numerals. The unit is W. Add zero as complement before power value if the figures are less than 3. Symbol for company, BLD is the capital initial consonant abbreviation of Chinese phonetic alphabet.
One of the bar code is permanently embedded beneath the top glass and is easily visible from the front side of modules. Do not remove any label. If the label is removed, the product warranty will no longer be honored by BLD

For detailed information on the best elevation tilt angle for the installation, refer to standard solar photovoltaic installation guides or a reputable solar installer or systems integrator. The module should not be shaded at any time of the daytime. The modules are not to be installed with a slope less than 127mm/305mm. Selecting the proper support frame. Always observe the instructions and safety precautions included with the support frames to be used with the modules. Do not attempt to drill holes in the glass surface of the modules. To do so will void the warranty. Do not drill additional mounting holes in the frame of the modules. Doing so will void the warranty. The support module mounting structure must be made of durable, corrosion-resistant and UV-resistant material. Modules must be securely attached to the mounting structure using all eight mounting points.
www.bldsolar.com
The modules shall be secured with M8 stainless steel or equivalent bolts with washers and nuts. The applied torque is about 8 Newton-meters.
Installation methods Ground mount: Select the height of the mounting system to prevent the lowest edge of the module from being covered by snow for a long time in winter in areas that experience heavy snowfalls. In addition, assure the lowest portion of the module is placed high enough so that it is not shaded by plants or trees or damaged by sand and stone driven by wind. Roof mount: When installing a module on a roof or building, ensure that it issecurely fastened and cannot fall as a result of wind or snow loads. Provide adequate ventilation under a module for cooling (200mm minimum air space between module and mounting surface). When installing module on a roof, ensure that the roof construction is suitable. In addition, any roof penetration required to mount the module must be properly sealed to prevent leaks. In some cases, a special support frame may be necessary. The roof installation of solar modules may affect the fireproofing of the house construction. The modules are rated fire Class C. because their modules or panels are non-integral ones, they should be mounted over a fire resistant roof. Do not install modules on a roof or building during strong winds in case of accidents.
www.bldsolar.com
Pole mount: When installing a module on a pole, choose a pole and module mounting structure that will withstand anticipated winds for the area. Others: Do not lift the module by grasping the modules junction box or electrical leads. Do not stand or step on module. Do not drop module or allow objects to fall on module. To avoid glass breakage, do not place any heavy objects on the module. Do not set the module down hard on any surface. Inappropriate transport and installation may break module. Electrical Installation Grid-connected electrical system: The DC electrical energy generated by photovoltaic systems may also be converted to AC and connected to a utility grid system. As local utilities policies on connecting renewable energy systems to their grids vary from region to region. Consult a qualified system designer or integrator to design such a system. Permits are normally required for installing such a system and the utility must formally approve and inspect such a system before it can be accepted. Others: Typically electrical work for PV systems requires building permits. The installer is responsible to understand the permits and codes that must be obeyed for electrical hook up. The PV Module has a pair of male and female waterproof connectors. For a series electrical connection,connect positive (+) connector of first PV Module to negative (-) connector of the following Module. Do not short the positive and the negative. Do not disconnect under load. Be sure connectors have no gap between the insulators. In case there is a gap, a fire and/or an electrical shock may occur. The installer must size the array wiring so that maximum voltage drop from the module to the inverter is less than 2%. Do not use modules of different configurations in the same system. Several modules are connected in series and then in parallel to form a PV array, especially for application with a high operation voltage. If modules are connected in series, the total voltage is equal to the sum of individual voltages. All modules must have the same amperage in order to have optimal power output. For applications requiring high currents, several photovoltaic modules
www.bldsolar.com
can be connected in parallel; the total current is equal to the sum of individual currents. Consult your qualified installers for proper connection with array junction box. Module is supplied with connectors to use for system electrical connections. Consult rated local wiring regulations to determine system wire size, type, and temperature. For field connections, use minimum 12 AWG copper wires insulated for a minimum of 90 C. The junction box has a breather port. The breather port must be mounted facing down and can not be exposed to rain. Therefore, the junction box must be on the higher side of the module when it is mounted.
Grounding All module frames must be attached to solid ground. A qualified electrician must complete ground connections. The grounding wire must be properly fastened to the module rame to assure good electrical contact. Use the recommended type, or an equivalent, connector for this wire.

If the support frame is made of metal, the surface of the frame must be electroplated and have excellent conductivity. We recommend the grounding clip of Tyco Electronics Corp. (Part number: 1954381-2) when grounding. Place the grounding clip onto the frame, making sure that the screw straddles he grounding hole. Using a No. 2 crossrecessed screwdriver, thread the screw into the hole until the head is flush with the base and the base is flush with the frame, then tighten the screw with another 1/4 to 1/2 turn. Recommended torque is between 2.3 and 2.8 Nm. Thread the hex nut onto the end of the screw, then using a 3/8in. wrench, tighten the nut. Insert the wire into the wire slot. Press down on both ends of the wire (the wire slot will cause the wire to form a slight curve). The grounding clip accepts solid uninsulated copper wire sizes 10 or 12 AWG. Manually, or using channel lock pliers, push the slider over the base until it covers the base. This will terminate the wire. Maintenance : BLDrecommends the following maintenance in order to ensure optimum performance of the module: Clean the glass surface of the module as necessary. Always use water and a soft sponge or cloth for cleaning. A mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent can be used to remove stubborn dirt. Check the electrical and mechanical connections every six months to verify that they are clean, secure and undamaged. If any problem arises, have them investigated by a competent specialist. Attention, observe the maintenance instructions for all components used in the system, such as support frames, charging regulators, inverters, batteries etc. Disclaimer of liability Because the use of this manual and the conditions or methods of installation, operation, use and maintenance of photovoltaic (PV) product are beyond BLDs control, BLDdoes not accept responsibility and expressly disclaims liability for loss, damage, or expense arising out of or in any way connected with such installation, operation, use or maintenance.
