General Installation - Victron energy Solar Module Mode D'emploi

5.3 General installation

Do not use modules of different configurations in the same system. The max. number of module (N) = Vmax system / [Voc(at STC)].
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.
For applications requiring high currents, several photovoltaic modules can be connected in parallel; the total current is equal to the sum
of individual currents.
Module is supplied with connectors to use for system electrical connections.
Consult rated local wiring regulations to determine system wire size, type, and temperature.
The cross section area of cable and the capacity of connector must be selected to suit the maximum system short circuit
current(Recommended cross section area of cable is 4mm2 for a single module and rated current of a connector is larger than 10A ),
otherwise the cable and connector will be overheated under large current. Please note that the upper limit temperature of cable is
≥85oC,and the connector is ≥105oC.
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.
