sunlight or other light sources.
Although single modules produce
only a low voltage and current,
shocks and burns are still a potential
hazard.
Thank you for choosing SANYO HIT PV
modules. With proper operation and
maintenance, SANYO HIT PV modules
will provide you with clean, renewable
solar electricity for many years.
Keep this manual for reference. This
manual contains important information
about installation, maintenance and
safety.

Junction box configuration and
description of terminals (for reference)
Modules equipped with one junction box contain
terminals for both positive and negative polarity, and
bypass diodes.
Module wiring
> The maximum number of HIP- xxxNHE5, xxxNHE5-BO2
modules that can be wired in series is seventeen (17).
> The maximum number of HIP- 䌸䌸䌸BE11, xxxBE11-BO2
modules that can be wired in series is thirteen (13).
> When your PV system includes other components
(batteries, charge controllers, inverters, etc.), be sure to
follow the safety recommendations of their manufactures.
> These modules contain factory installed bypass diodes.
If these modules are incorrectly connected to each other,
the bypass diodes or cable or junction box may be
damaged.
Two terminals are dedicated to each polarity (with the
polarity symbols engraved onto the body of the junction
box ) (see Fig3).
Array Wiring
The term “array” is used to describe the assembly of
several modules on a support structure with associated
wiring.
Use copper wire that is sunlight resistant and is insulated
to withstand the maximum possible system open circuit
voltage. Check your local codes for requirements.
Electrical Protection
The HIP- xxxNHE5, -xxxNHE5-BO2,
Cable
--xxxBE11, -xxxBE11-BO2 Module complies with the
requirements of Electrical protection Class II.
If necessary, the module or array can be grounded.

Module Terminations
A junction box as terminal enclosure is equipped for

Bypass Diodes
When the modules in series strings
are shaded partially, it may cause a
reverse䇭voltage䇭across䇭cells䇭or
modules, because the current from
other䇭cells䇭in the same series is
forced to flow through the shaded

may occur. 䇭The use of a diode to

MAINTENANCE
Some maintenance is recommended to maintain optimal output performance of solar cell modules. If the module
surface becomes dirty, it may cause reduction of output power. It is recommended to clean the surface with
water and soft cloth or sponge. A mild non-abrasive detergent may be applied for the persistent dirt. And it is also
recommended to inspect the electrical and mechanical connections annually.
If you need electrical and mechanical inspection or maintenance, it is recommended to have the authorized
professional carry out the inspection or maintenance to avoid the hazards of electric shock or injury.
