Solar Module Wan.ing_All instructions should be read and understood before attempting to install,wire,operate ands r maintain the module.Module interconnects pass direct current(DC)when exposed to sunlight or ollier light sources.Contact with electrically active parts of the module,such as terminals,can Installation result in injury or death,whether the module is connected or disconnected. General Safety urn •All installations mus be performed in compliance with all applicable regional and local codes such as,the latest National Electrical Code(USA)or Canadian Electric Code(Canada)or other national or international electrical standards. •Wear suitable protection(non-slip gloves,clothes,etc.)to prevent direct contact with 30VDC or greater,and to protect your hands f-om sharp edges during the installation. •Use electrical insulated tools to reduce the risk of electric shock. •Remove all metallic ewelry prior to installation to reduce the chance of accidental exposure to live circuits. •Cover the front of the modules in the PV array with an opaque material to halt production of electricity when installing or working with a module or wiring. •Do not install or handle the modules when they are wet or during periods of high wind. •Do not use or install Broken modules. •If the front glass is broken.or the back sheet is torn,contact with any module surface or the frame can cause electric shock. •Keep the junction boot cover closed at all times. -Do not attempt to repair any part of the module.There're no serviceable parts within the PV module. „ •Do not disassemble a module or remove any module part. •Do not artificially concentrate sunlight on a module. „-'�,? ' ti •Do not connect or disconnect modules when current from the modules or an external source is present. 0 MEGHANICALkELECTRICALSPEC IFICATION5 The module electrical atings are measured under Standard Test Conditions(STC)of t KWlm'irradiance with an AM 1.5 spectrum,and cell temperature of 25C.The detailed electrical and mechanical characteristics of Canadian Solar Inc. crystalline silicon PV modules can be found in table 4 of this manual(see Annex).Main electrical characteristics at STC also appear on each module label.The maximum system voltage for all module series is 600 V.

The three key elements of an Enphase Microinverter System include the: System Monitoring . Enphase M215 Microinverter Indoors,you can install the Envoy Communications Gateway by plugging it into any corrvenieni 120VAC wall socket and providing an Ethernet connection to your broadband muter or modem.After installation of the Enphase Envoy"Communications Gateway Envoy,the Enphase Microinverters automatically begin reporting to the Enphase Enlighten web server.The Enphase Enlighten"web-based monitoring and analysis software Enlighten software presents current and historical system performance trends,and it informs you of PV system status. This integrated system maximizes energy harvest,increases system reliability,and simplifies design, installation and management. Optimal Reliability Microinverter systems are inherently more reliable than traditional inverters.The distributed nature of a microinverter system ensures that there Is no single point of system failure in the PV system.Enphase Microinverters are designed to operate at full power at ambient temperatures as high as 65°C(150°F).The . microinverter housing is designed for outdoor installation and complies with the NEMA 6 environmental enclosure rating standard: Q Eap^ate 32:cr�±nvE2ers •u!u19Gnied Ge—th east±-i n -'t -$. .max;m:ze energy na•ve5t •seM nC parer a.•e:AC wing to tn..a ce^ter NEMA 6 rating definition.Indoor or outdoor use primarily to provide a degree of protection ``' a75o sesta per`em— AC-,,r.g against hose-directed water,and the entry of water during occasional temporary .. submersion at a limited depth,and damage from external ice formation. g.�0,9S Ulm-y ac tamens GNieh3�+ •[rr11e[t5 nMrnMjon bra the AC MRM] .tranu,=rs eau trr..ge a ctarnme owa�tand za;er to the lrxernet Ease of Design coeds:nmrn,arc am vatunhs x is PV systems using Enphase Microinverlers are very simple to design and install.You will not need string „ creghten,n 5•M:—w m—ha calculations,and you can install individual PV modules in any combination of PV module quantity,type,age >;3="Y^a52 Enligf£Fia.:;mf n±ioiiny and orientation.You won't need to install cumbersome traditional inverters.Each microinverter quickly p c:ides men c ng and a ayss •all w perfu.m-data to Ee Ys4wfd t-a.y mounts on the PV racking,directly beneath each PV module.Low voltage DC wires connect from the PV ,. ..or t:rewsar module directly to the co-located microinverter,eliminating the risk of personnel exposure to lethal 600Vdc power.
