11. ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A PV MODULE It is very important to understand that a photovoltaic module can have electrical characteristics different than the Standard Test Conditions STC rating on the module nameplate Atmospheric conditions often increase the module s current and or voltage higher than that reported at STC STC 1000 W m AM 1 5 25C Always refer to your local jurisdictional codes when sizing conductors fuses inverters and other Balance of System BOS components amp WARNING All installation and mounting instructions must be read and properly understood before attempting to install wire and or operate PV modules PV modules generate DC electricity when exposed to light This can pose danger to the installer user and or property Any contact with electrically active module terminals can result in arcing leading to shocks burns fires and or death PV modules are electrically live when mounted and installed Danger Electrical potential SHOCK DANGER increases with parallel higher currents and series higher voltage connection of PV modules The PV installer must assume all inherent risk of property damage and or personal injury related to the mishandling of PV modules during installation and maintenance Under normal conditions a photovoltaic module is likely to experience conditions that produce more current and or voltage than reported at standard test conditions Accordingly the values
