PV Module Installation Manual Monofacial Module: Max. System Voltage: up to 1500VDC (Voc at STC) With ½ cut of 182 mono c-Si cell: TW400MAP-108-H-S TW405MAP-108-H-S TW410MAP-108-H-S TW415MAP-108-H-S TW420MAP-108-H-S TW400MAP-108-H-F TW405MAP-108-H-F TW410MAP-108-H-F TW415MAP-108-H-F TW420MAP-108-H-F TW545MAP-144-H TW550MAP-144-H TW555MAP-144-H TW560MAP-144-H TW500MAP-132-H-S TW505MAP-132-H-S The modules mentioned in this installation manual are only allowed to be installed below 2000m above sea level.
This manual applies exclusively to the solar photovoltaic module (here in after referred to as Module) of TW solar energy Co., Ltd. (here in after referred to as TW). The contents of this manual involve the installation methods, operation safety and maintenance information of TW’s Modules.
SAFETY & TRANSPORT General Detailed Rules Keep all the Modules and electrical connectors clean and dry before installation. Use both hands to carry Modules. Do not overlap Modules. Be cautious when carrying Modules. Slip-proof gloves are necessary. ...

SAFETY & TRANSPORT Unloading, Transportation and Storage When the Modules are delivered to the project site, the freight car shall be ready in the flat, even and open area for parking and unloading. Forklift unloading: Choose the appropriate carrying forklift according to the commodity weight, unload the Modules from the freight car and place them on flat ground.

SAFETY & TRANSPORT Storage in the project site warehouse: Storage environment requirements: Humidity<85%, temperature -20 ~+50℃; Modules statically stacked for ≤2 layers. Temporary storage at the project site: The Modules shall be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place. They shall not be stacked but shall be covered with waterproof cloth to prevent dampness in the Modules.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Location Selection Select suitable places to install Modules. The module in the north latitude region shall face south, and shall face north in the south latitude region. Install Modules at the places with sufficient sunlight and without shade at any time. If a module is shaded or even partially shaded, it will result in lower power output.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION The Modules may be installed and fixed with the following methods: Clamping system: use proper clamp, and fix the module with the installation support, as shown in Fig. 3. The clamp must maintain an overlap of unless 8 mm with the frame of the module(you can change the cross section of the clamp if the module is securely installed).
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION DC power generated by the photovoltaic system can be converted into AC power and fed into the grid. Policies on connecting renewable energy system to the grid vary from region to region. Consult senior system designer before designing the system. Generally, the system installation shall be formally approved by the local public sector.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION Figure 4 Connection in Series Figure 5 Connection in parallel Refer to the local regulations to determine the system wire size, types and temperatures. The cross section of the cables and the capacity of the connectors must be selected to suit the maximum system short circuit current (The recommended section area for a single piece of Module is 4 mm , and the recommended rated current for the connector is greater...
GROUNDING Grounding by cable The grounding bolts must be made of stainless steel and be used in the specified grounding holes. First, make the M3.5 stainless steel bolt pass through the spring washer, flat washer, cup washer (copper conductor with a diameter of 2.1 mm) and star washer, and then insert through the grounding hole, flat washer and spring washer on the frame.
BYPASS DIODES AND BLOCK DIODES In a system with two or more Modules connected in series, if part of a Module is shaded while the other part is exposed to the sun, a very high reverse current will go through the cells which have been partly or entirely covered and it will cause overheat on the cells, which may damage the Module.
MAINTENANCE Normally, the Modules do not need repair. Follow the maintenance methods below to ensure the best performance of the Modules: In most conditions, the normal rainwater can keep the module glass clean. Clean the glass surfaces with wet soft sponge or cloth if necessary. Use mild non-abrasive cleaning agent to remove stubborn dirt.
