2 PLANNING 2.3 REQUIREMENTS 2 PLANNING 2.3 REQUIREMENTS Installation Site Mounting Structure Requirements Note the following guidelines that apply to the installation site: • Solar modules are not explosion-proof and are not suitable for use in explosive environments. Ä Do not operate solar modules near highly flammable gas and vapors (e.g., gas tanks, gas stations). Ä Do not install modules in enclosed spaces. Ä Do not install modules in locations where they may be submerged in water (e.g.
2 PLANNING 2.4 MICROINVERTER PLANNING 2 PLANNING 2.4 FOR MICROINVERTER PLANNING Installation Site Utility Service Requirements Lightning and Surge Suppression The microinverter housing is designed for outdoor installation and complies with the NEMA 250, type 6 environmental enclosure rating standard: The Enphase IQ Microinverter for ACM work with a single-phase service.
2 PLANNING 2.5 MOUNTING OPTIONS 2 PLANNING 2.5 MOUNTING OPTIONS Specifications Fig. 2: Installation options for crystalline Q CELLS modules. All dimensions are given in inches (mm in brackets). Also observe the maximum test loads and clamping range as specified on the following page. North - 25.6 The illustrated installation options apply for bothAmerica horizontal0.79 and (20 - 650)vertical module orientation.
2 PLANNING 2.5 MOUNTING OPTIONS ATTENTION Ä The loads in the table are related to the mechanical stability of the solar modules. The mechanical stability of the mounting system including clamps has to be evaluated by the system supplier. The Q CELLS listed test load values were determined with the following clamp parameters: clamp width = 1.57 in (40 mm) and clamp depth = 0.39 in (10 mm). The system installer is responsible for the determination of location-specific load requirements.
3 INSTALLATION 3.1 SAFETY AND TRANSPORT Ä Ensure that all personnel are aware of and adhere to accident-prevention and safety regulations. Ä While working wear clean gloves. I D 3 INSTALLATION 3.1 SAFETY AND TRANSPORT DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! Ä Do not install damaged modules. Ä Inform your vendor of any damages immediately. NOTE! Module damage may occur! Ä Never lift or move the module with the connection cables or junction box.
3 INSTALLATION 3.2 PREPARATION OF INSTALLATION DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! Ä Block off the installation zone. Ä Keep children and unauthorized individuals away from the solar power system. WARNING! Risk of injury due to falling modules! Ä Secure modules during installation. Ä Do not install modules in windy or wet weather. 3 INSTALLATION 3.3 MODULE INSTALLATION Option 1: Ä Fasten the module with 4 clamps in the specified clamping range, see Fig. 2, p. 14.
4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 4.1 SAFETY DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! 4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 4.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION SAFETY DANGER! Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock! Ä Only use dry, insulated tools for electrical work. When disconnecting an electric circuit carrying direct current, electric arcs can occur that may result in life-threatening injuries. Ä Do NOT unplug the cable when under load. Ä Do NOT connect any exposed cable ends.
4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 4.3 CONNECTION OF MODULES Ä Only use connector and solar cables provided from Enphase (Q Cable, please see page 8). Ä Only interconnect connectors of the same type and manufacturer. Ä Use minimum No. 12 AWG copper wires insulated for a minimum of 194 °F (90 °C) for field connections. 4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 4.4 AFTER INSTALLATION NOTE! Module damage may occur! Ä Ensure that the cabling is not under mechanical stress (Comply with bending radius of ≥ 2.36 in (60 mm)).
5 GROUNDING 5 GROUNDING Protective Grounding Option A: Use of a Grounding Lug Option B: Grounding Methods In order to prevent electrical shock or fire, the frame of the module as well as any non-current-carrying metal parts of the system must be grounded. While this section provides some information about grounding the Q CELLS frames and modules, reference should be made to local statutes and regulations for specific requirements on grounding. The U.S.
8 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING 9 APPENDIX Installation and Operation Manual Important Safety Information Q CELLS solar modules are known for a long operating life and minimal maintenance effort and expense. Dirt and grime are usually washed away by rain. If the module is fully or partially shaded by dirt or debris (e.g., plants, bird droppings), it needs to be cleaned to prevent a loss of performance. NOTE! Module damage may occur! Ä Do not clean modules with water if there is a risk of frost.
Installation and Operation Manual Installation and Operation Manual IQ 7+ Microinverter Safety Instructions Enphase Q Cable and Accessory Safety General Safety DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire. DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Only use electrical system components approved for wet locations. Only qualified personnel should install, troubleshoot, or replace Enphase Microinverters or Enphase Q Cable and Accessories. WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Risk of fire.
Installation and Operation Manual PV Rapid Shutdown Equipment (PVRSE) This product is UL Listed as PV Rapid Shut Down Equipment and conforms with NEC-2014 and NEC-2017 section 690.12 and C22.1-2015 Rule 64-218 Rapid Shutdown of PV Systems, for AC and DC conductors, when installed according to the following requirements: Microinverters and all DC connections must be installed inside the array boundary.
Installation and Operation Manual Step 1: Install a Junction Box Installation and Operation Manual Step 3: Terminate the Unused End of the Cable A. Verify that AC voltage at the site is within range. Place sealing caps on unused connectors and terminate the unused end of the Enphase Q Cable. Service Type and Voltage: L1-L2 240 V Split-Phase 211 to 264 VAC 208 V Single-Phase 183 to 229 VAC B. Install a junction box at a suitable location on the racking. C.
Installation and Operation Manual Installation and Operation Manual Step 5: Mount the ACMs Step 4: Prepare the AC Modules A. Before installing the AC module, the microinverters must be lifted from the shipping position. On the ground, turn the AC Module so that the microinverter faces you. Using both hands, lift the microinverter up. You will hear four clicks as the microinverter locks into the installation position. Ensure the four latches are locked, and the microinverter is not tilted.
Installation and Operation Manual Installation and Operation Manual Step 9: Energize the System Step 8. Ground the ACMs Choose to use grounding clamps or module mounting holes to ground the modules. Or, you can use a reliable third-party grounding system. All Methods: A. Ground the module frames to protect the array from lightning and static-electricity damage using Method A, B, or C. B.
Installation and Operation Manual Installation and Operation Manual Step 10: Set Up and Activate Monitoring Refer to the Enphase IQ Envoy Quick Install Guide to install the IQ Envoy and set up system monitoring and grid management functions.
Installation and Operation Manual Installation and Operation Manual The system displays, “A DC Resistance Low- Power Off reset task was issued on [date and time] for this microinverter and is still pending.” Troubleshoot an Inoperable Microinverter To troubleshoot an inoperable microinverter, follow the steps in the order shown. Method 2: Use Installer Toolkit to Clear the Condition WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Always de-energize the AC branch circuit before servicing.
Installation and Operation Manual L. Following the steps in Remove and Replace a Microinverter, remove the PV panel from the roof, and swap out the microinverter with one from a known good, adjacent AC module. If after checking Enlighten periodically (this may take up to 30 minutes), the problem moves to the adjacent module, this indicates that the PV module isn’t functioning correctly. If it stays in place, the problem is with the original microinverter.
Installation and Operation Manual Installation and Operation Manual Enphase Q Cable Planning and Ordering Grid Interconnection Details The Enphase Q Cable is a continuous length of 12 AWG, double insulated, outdoor-rated cable with integrated connectors for microinverters. These connectors are preinstalled along the Q Cable at intervals to accommodate varying PV module widths. The microinverters plug directly into the cable connectors. Enphase IQ 7 Microinverters are grid support interactive inverters.
