How to install JA Solar modules?

JA solar recommends installing the modules with a tilt angle of at least 10 degrees, making it easier for dust to be washed off by rain. Ensure the installation method and supporting system of modules is strong enough to make the modules can withstand all the load conditions.

What is included in the JA Solar installation manual?

Thank you for choosing JA SOLAR modules! This Installation Manual contains essential information for electrical and mechanical installation that you must know before handling, installing JA Solar Modules. This Manual also contains safety information you need to be familiar with.

How to unpack JA Solar modules?

Store pallets in a ventilated, rain-proof and dry location until the modules are ready to be unpacked. Please unpack the package of JA Solar modules according to “JA Solar Modules Unpacking Instruction”. Do not lift the modules by grasping the module’s junction box or electrical leads in any condition.

Do JA Solar modules corrode?

JA Solar modules have passed the IEC 61701 salt-mist, but galvanic corrosion can occur between the aluminum frame of the modules and mounting or grounding hardware if such hardware is comprised of dissimilar metals.

How do JA Solar modules work?

The junction boxes used with JA Solar modules contain bypass diodes wired in parallel with the PV cell strings. In the case of partial shading, the diodes bypass the current generated by the non-shaded cells, thereby limiting modules heating and performance losses. Bypass diodes are not over-current protection devices.

Do JA Solar modules need a grounding conductor?

The grounding is only used on the framed bifacial modules. JA Solar modules use an anodic oxidized aluminum frame to resist corrosion. So the frame of modules must be connected to the equipment grounding conductor to prevent thunder and static hurt.
