2.8 Electrical installation
• Thecablesandplugsmustberoutedsothattheyare
protected against moisture.
 • Thecablesandplugsmustnotlieonthesubstrate,
theroofsurfaceortheground.
 • Thecablesandplugsmustberoutedsothattheyare
protectedagainstUVradiation.
 • Thecablesandplugsmustbeprotectedagainst
animal bites.
 • Connectionsthatarenotpluggedinmustbeprotected
from dirt and moisture during transport, storage and
duringtheinstallationperiod,asonlyplugged-in
connectionsmeettheirrespectiveprotectionclass.
 • Observethepolarityofthecablesandplugsduring
connection.
 • PVmodules,junctionboxes,cablesandplugs
mustbecheckedfordamageandcontamination.
Only undamaged components may be installed.
 • Theminimumbendingradiusofthecableandstrainrelief
mustbetakenintoaccount.
 • Thecablesmustnotberoutedoversharpedgesand
cornerswithoutprotection.
 • Alwaysconnectthecableswithasuitableidenticalplug,
donottrapthemandprotectthemfrommechanicalstress.
 • Ensurethatthecablesareroutedsothatthereare
noloops(minimisetheriskofinductionduring
thunderstorms).
 • ItisrecommendedtoplacePVmoduleswiththesame
orientationandinclinationinastringtoachieve
maximum yields.
 • Connectthemodulestringtoaninvertersuitable
forthelayout.
2.9 Equipotential bonding, grounding and lightning
protection
 •Therearegroundingholesonthemoduleframesfor
connectingthePVmodulegroundingandtheseare
markedassuch.Pleaserefertothecorrespondingmodule
datasheetforthepositionofthegroundingholes.
Properequipotentialbondingofthe
system components must be ensured
inaccordancewiththelocallyapplicable
guidelines, regulations and standards.
ThePVmodulegrounding must be
implementedinaccordancewithnational,
regional and local guidelines, regulations
and standards.
2.7 Safety during electrical installation
Thefollowingsafetyinstructionsmustbeobserved
atalltimes:
 • Workmayonlybecarriedoutbyqualiedpersonnel.
 • Theapplicablesafetyinstructionsandregulations
mustbeobserved.
 • Evenwithlowlighting,theopencircuitvoltage(VOC)
is applied.
 • DonottouchthePVmoduleswithbarehands.
 • Donotwearmetallicjewellerywhenworkingwiththe
PVmodules.
 • Usedryandinsulatedtoolsandinsulatinggloves.
 • ThePVmodulesmustbedry,cleanandfreeof
damage during installation.
 • DonotmodifythePVmodules.
 • NeverconnectordisconnectPVmodulesunderload.
Thereisariskofelectricarc.
Theexistinglightningprotectionconcept
ofthebuildingmustbeobserved.
ThepotentialintegrationofthePVsystem
intothelightningprotectionconcept must
beagreedwiththecorrespondinglightning
protection expert. National, regional and
local guidelines, regulations and standards
mustbecompliedwithatalltimes.
