1.4 Guidelines for Safe Handling and Installation
IMPORTANT
THIS PRODUCT IS DESIGNED FOR INSTALLATION BY QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL ONLY.
ALL HANDLING AND INSTALLATIONS MUST BE PERFORMED IN
COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE CODES, RULES AND REGULATIONS.
In addition to the applicable rules and regulations, please follow all guidelines for safe
handling and/or installation of BenQ Solar modules. 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
Do not lift the module or carry module by junction box or PV cables.
Do not drill holes in the frame.
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. Scratches 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.
Save these instructions for future reference.
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 or torn.
2013/10/08 4
Please use caution when handling 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 supplier for disposal instructions.
STORAGE
When storing modules for any period of time, cover modules to ensure protection from
the elements.
When storing the modules, turn so that the glass is face down. Do not allow water 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.
*Always contact your module supplier for additional instructions if maintenance is
2013/10/08 5
necessary.*

Chapter 2 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).

2.6 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.

Chapter 3 Mounting Guidelines
Modules may be mounted at any angle from horizontal to vertical. Select the appropriate
orientation to maximize sunlight exposure.
A gap between the module and system structure or ground is required to prevent wire damage
and to allow air to circulate behind the module.
Take care to follow all applicable regulations, especially municipal and fire codes, when
planning and executing your installation. Do not remove or alter the module frame.
Additional mounting holes may damage the module and reduce the strength of the frame.
IMPORTANT
Modules should only be mounted using one of the following methods. Deviating from
the mounting instructions below could affect max wind load and/or product warranty.
3.1 Mounting with Screws
•Secure the module to the structure using only the factory drilled mounting holes.
•Do not drill any additional holes in module frame (doing so would void the warranty).
•Use corrosion-proof fastening materials.
•A torque wrench must be used for assembly. In the examples shown, the tightening
torque must be 20N．m.
•Refer to product datasheet for the module dimensions and mounting hole locations.
PM200M00 / PM245P00 / PM250M01 / PM300P00
Secure the modules to the structure using four stainless steel bolts, with nuts, washers, and
lock washers. Only the existing mounting holes (Diameter: 9mm) that can be used for module
to meet 5400Pa design strength under IEC 61215/ IEC 61730 and to meet 2400Pa design
strength under UL 1703.
PM318B00 / PM318B01 / PM096B00 / PM096B01
Secure the module to the structure using four M6 (¼”) stainless steel bolts, with nuts, washers,
and lock washers per module. Only the mounting holes that are 322mm from the short end of
the module can be used for the module to meet 5400 Pa design strength.
