In addition to the guidelines below, always observe industry best practices when handling and/or installing any BenQ Solar module. Save this Installation Guide for future reference.
LIFTING AND HANDLING
LIFTING AND HANDLINGLIFTING AND HANDLING
LIFTING AND HANDLING
Do not lift the module or carry module by junction box or PV cables.
Do not drill holes in the frame. This will void warranty and may affect frame strength.
Avoid scratching the frame. Scratches to the frame will compromise protective coating
and can result in corrosion or weakened structure.
Do not scratch or damage the module backsheet. Scrathes to the backsheet could affect
module performance.
Do not stand on, drop, scratch or allow objects to hit modules (especially module glass).
Do not install or handle the modules when wet or during periods of high wind.
Do not install the modules where there may be flammable gases or vapors, since sparks
may be produced.
When storing the modules, take steps to cover the DC connectors and prevent dust
from collecting on or in the connectors.
Save these instructions for future reference.
ELECTRICAL HANDLING AND INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL HANDLING AND INSTALLATIONELECTRICAL HANDLING AND INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL HANDLING AND INSTALLATION
Modules interconnect points conduct direct current (DC) and are sources of voltage
when the module is under load and when it is exposed to light.
Direct current can arc across gaps and may cause injury or death if improper connection
or disconnection is made, or if contact is made with module leads that are frayed, torn
or otherwise damaged.

Please use caution when handling or connecting any module.
Remove all metallic jewelry prior to installing this product to reduce the chance of
accidental exposure to live circuits.
Use properly insulated tools to reduce your risk of electric shock.
Do not touch the terminals while the module is exposed to light.
During installation use suitable protection prevent a discharge of at least 30 direct
current volts to each person on crew.
Do not connect or disconnect modules when current from the modules or an external
source is present.
Do not remove or misuse module connectors, this could void module warranty.
Cover all modules in the PV array with an opaque material before making or breaking
any connections.
Use only the supplied locking connectors and safety clips in order to prevent untrained
persons from disconnecting the modules once installed.
There are no serviceable parts within the module. Do not attempt to change or repair
any part of the module.
Damaged modules (broken glass, torn back sheet, broken j-boxes, broken connectors,
etc) can present electrical hazards as well as laceration hazards. Contact with damaged
module surfaces or module frame can cause electric shock. The dealer or installers
should remove the module from array and contact the distributor for disposal
instructions.

NOTE: Shading a small/narrow portion of the module (e.g. narrow bands of shade
caused by leafless branches or tall grass) can cause local cell temperature to rise,
temporarily decreasing overall module output.
Removing the source of any narrow bands of shade will prevent these “hot spots” from
occurring, and ensure maximum module productivity. The module will resume normal
performance once the source of shade is removed, with no impact to lifetime.
STORAGE
STORAGESTORAGE
STORAGE
When storing modules for any period of time, cover modules to ensure protection from
the elements. Take special steps to cover/protect the module connectors.
When storing the modules, turn so that the glass is face down. Do not allow water or
dust to collect inside module, this can damage module connectors.
When storing the modules, do not allow the anodized profiles (frames) to come into
contact with contaminants such as cement or mortar, which will cause damage to the
anodic oxide coatings.

Chapter 2 BenQ Solar Module Specifications
BenQ Solar Module SpecificationsBenQ Solar Module Specifications
BenQ Solar Module Specifications
The module electrical ratings are measured under Standard Test Conditions (STC) of 1000W/m2 irradiance with AM 1.5G spectrum and a cell temperature of 25ºC. BenQ Solar modules electrical characteristics depend on module Series and Wattage. Please refer to the tables below to learn more about the characteristics of your module(s).
2.1 Performance of PV Modules
A PV module may produce more current and/or voltage than reported at STC. Sunny, cool weather and reflection from snow or water can increase current and power output. Therefore, the values of Isc and Voc shown below should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor capacities, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to PV output. An additional 1.25 multiplier may be required by the NEC for sizing fuses and conductors as described in the NEC section 690.8.
While module current depends on solar irradiance, module voltage will vary depending on device temperature. This means overall production will vary depending on solar radiation, the temperature of the cells/module and the equipment to which they are connected.
