4.3. Electrical Installation
Correct electrical connection is critical for achieving a safe, long-term and reliable
operation of the entire PV system.
NOTICE
The electrical connections on the AC and DC side must be performed by qualified
persons and comply with local and national electrical regulations and the
instructions detailed in this User Manual.

4.3.1. Conductors
Two important criteria must be considered in the selection of conductor sizes, namely
ampacity and voltage drop. Using correctly sized conductors improves the efficiency of the
PV system.
• Ampacity refers to the current-carrying capacity of the conductor. The larger the
conductor is, the greater its capacity to carry current.
• Voltage drop is the loss of voltage due to cross section, current flow and length of the
conductor. It is recommended to minimize the system conductor voltage losses, as
voltage losses are equal to loss in energy yield.
CAUTION
The conductor cross section area and the disconnector ratings must conform to
the ratings required by local and national electrical regulations.
• Use adequately sized conductors with the correct temperature rating and sunlight
resistance.
