Preface
General use
This manual oers the general installation and maintenance information of the
Photovoltaic Modules (hereinafter referred to as the Modules) of Renesola Jiangsu Ltd
(hereinafter referred to as Renesola).
Before installation, handling or application of maintenance, ensure yourself read and
understand this manual and use the Photovoltaic Modules correctly & safely.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the sales manager of Renesola
or our Customer Service.
1. The operators shall foresee the injury risk during the processes of installation,
debugging and maintenance of the Modules; Therefore, these processes shall be
accomplished by the professionals with appropriate qualications.

5. System designers and installers shall design a reasonable bracket, Fix the module on
the bracket according to the recommended method (Please refer the 9th point of
the Installation part).
6. The installation, debugging and maintenance of the Modules etc must be complied
with all the electrical engineer safety regulations.
7. In the standard test condition (the standard test condition is: irradiance of 1000
W/m2, battery tag temperature of 25 and spectrum of AM1.5), the electrical
performance parameters of the Modules, such as Isc, Voc and Pmax have a 10%
deviation with the nominal value.
8. Do not trample or strike on the Modules.
9. Do not spray the chemical non-validated or paints on the modules.
10. When operating the change of any module or in case of maintenance, please take
necessity actions to avoid the possible electrical injuries.
Remark:
1. The *** in the table above stands for the module power range. For detailed
information, please refer our module TDS.
2. JC means Renesola, while M is Multiple crystalline, V is Virtus crystalline and S is
Single Crystalline.
3. The information in the table above also covers our black module and transparent
module series. The design type names for these two kinds of module are ended
with -b and -c respectively.

Installation
1. Installers must be qualied engineers and familiar with electrical and its applications.
2. Keep the Modules away from inammable gas, hazardous chemicals or re source.
2. Do not use damaged Modules. Damaged Modules may cause re or electric shock;
both the two results could cause the death of the user or installer.

10. When installing the Modules on the roof, ensure there is an appropriate structure,
and a suitable seal shall be made between the Modules and the bracket to prevent
leaking.
11. Installing the Modules on the roof may aect the re rating of the house which
requires the construction organization to make more accurate assessment.
12. The grounding method shall be consistent with the local standard and regulations.
The grounding wire shall be the bare copper wire with simple surface treatment
and no insulation sleeve. Wire cable of 10 or 12 AWG is used. Ground clamp (Tyco,
identication of product: 1954381-2) is recommended (diagrammatic sketches are
as follows).
Nameplate: describes the product model; rated power; rated current, rated voltage,
open circuit voltage, and short circuit current. All above parameters are measured
in standard test conditions. Other information, such as weight, size, maximum
system voltage and maximum fuse current are marked on the nameplate as well.
Barcode: the barcode is in the internal of the Modules, which containing the relevant
retrospect information of the Modules.
! Please do not remove any label, or ReneSola will not provide any warranty.
Maintenance
Installation
Product identication
1. Do not touch the live part of the wire cable and the connector. When touching,
use the safety equipment (insulating tool, insulating gloves etc).
2. When maintaining the Modules, use opaque cloth or other materials to cover the
frontage of the Modules. Exposed in sunlight, the Photovoltaic Modules may
produce high voltage and there is a danger.

13. When the connecting wire of the Modules can not meet system design
requirements, a proper commercial cable that could endure long-term outdoor use
and assorted connector could be used to extend the connecting wire. The
cross-sectional area shall be no less than 4mm2, and the connection system shall
reach IP65 waterproof rating.
14. The minimum separation between two Modules shall be more than 10mm; when
installing on the roof, the minimum separation between the Modules and the
mounting surface shall be more than 150mm, and when installing on the ground,
more than 450mm.
3. If necessary, clean the glass surface of the Modules to improve its performance.
Annual inspection
1. Check if nuts, bolts of mounting structure are secure and not loose. Tighten the
loose component again, if required.
2. Check the water resistance of the connecting cables, grounding cables and
connectors and the performance of the ground resistance.
3. Check all electrical and mechanical connections from freedom of corrosion.
4. Check the ground resistance of metal parts such as the module frames and the
mounting structures.
15. It had better to use the Modules with same conguration in a series connection
system. Maximum number of series (N)=Vmax System /[ Voc (under the lowest
temperature in local environment)]and meets the voltage range of the MPPT of
the inverter.
16. Articially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on the module.
17. Our modules have passed the salt mist and ammonia test (Please refer the test
report for detailed information) and can be installed in some brutal environment,
e.g. sea side.
