interface characteristics and properties

6 PV Connector Standard This document covers the electrical and mechanical interface characteristics and properties of dc electrical connectors used in photovoltaic systems for the interconnection of photovoltaic modules to one another and to inverters for use in photovoltaic systems. and disconnection tool.

7 PV Connector Standard The mission of the UPVI Alliance is to accelerate the adoption of 'smart' PV modules with integrated power electronics. UPVI aims to simplify the integration of traditional PV modules with integrated electronic devices by creating a single, standard interface between these components.

21 UL Grounding and Bonding Equipment Updated September 21, 2007 Established spec for General Grounding requirements, not specific to PV industry. Does not include mounting hardware Solar module manufacture needs to provide means of grounding with the panel in the UL 1703 testing Current requirements are based on the size of the conductor. Example: 12AWG connector will be tested at 470A for 4 seconds. UL467 vs UL2703 UL 2703 Mounting Systems, Mounting Devices, Clamping/Retention Devices, and Ground Lugs for Use with Flat-Plate Photovoltaic Modules and Panels Updated January 28, 2015 Intended for PV systems Including Hardware -applies to all brands Environmental testing (DH1000, TC200 and HF10) 10X torque testing Over current protection 135% for 120 min or 200% for 8 min Perceived as not appropriate for components in PV systems* Requirements similar to PV module UL1703 *
