FOR SA F E INSTAL L ATIO N WO Rk
uL REquIREd INFORMATION:
1.
Artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on the module.
2.
"Rated electrical characteristics are within 10 percent of measured values at Standard Test Conditions of: 1000 W/m
25°C cell temperature and solar spectral irradiance per ASTM E 892 or irradiation of AM 1.5 spectrum."
3.
Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module may experience conditions that produce more current and/or
voltage than reported at Standard Test Conditions. Accordingly, the values of ISC and VOC marked on UL Listed
modules should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor capacities,
fuse sizes and size of controls connected to the module output. Refer to Section 690-8 of the National Electric Code
for an additional multiplying factor of 1.25 which may be applicable.
Wiring methods should be in accordance with the NEC.
4.
5.
Install wires and cables with appropriate hardware in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
6.
Protective earth grounding of the individual photovoltaic modules is achieved by securing the modules to the
mounting frames. The assembly instructions should be closely followed, in order to ensure a reliable ground
connection.
7.
The framing system shall be grounded in accordance with NEC Article 250.
8.
#10 AWG copper wire is the minimum size acceptable for the primary protective ground connection to the rails.
9.
A UL Listed Grounding terminal constructed of tin-plated copper or stainless steel, or steel provided with a zinc or
beryllium coating, and suitable for outdoor use, shall be used with the selected grounding wire (minimum 10 AWG
copper wire).
10.
All of the Rails in an installation shall be provided with protective earth bonding wires when installed.
11.
The framing system has only been evaluated by UL for use with the photovoltaic modules listed in this manual.
