Electrical Installation  
• The junction box should not be opened. Opening  
the junction box will void the warranty.  
Parallel Connection  
• The solar modules may be combined in parallel to  
produce the desired current output.  
• Panels with a suspected electrical problem should  
be returned to LG Electronics for inspection and  
possible repair or replacement as per the warranty  
conditions provided by LG Electronics  
• When modules are combined in parallel, the total  
current is equal to the sum of currents from each  
module.  
• The voltage of each module connected in parallel  
should be the same.  
Electrical Connections  
• Shock hazard may occur near the solar modules  
electrical connections.  
• When connecting plural strings of modules in  
parallel every series string or solar module must be  
fused prior to combining with other strings.  
• Modules may be connected in series and/or  
parallel to achieve the desired electrical output as  
long as it is within the guidelines on the product  
specification sheet.  
• Abide with all applicable federal, state, and local  
codes for additional fusing requirements and  
limitations on the maximum number of solar  
modules in parallel.  
• Please use only the same type of modules in a  
combined source circuit.  
• Maximum parallel strings without proper measures,  
e. g. fuse 20A : 1 string  
• Do not disconnect the module under when it is  
operating.  
Shock hazard may occur near the solar modules  
connection means.  
• Parallel configuration is not limited if proper  
measures are taken to block the reverse current  
flow, e.g. fuses for the protection of the module  
and cables from over-current for prevention of  
unbalanced string voltage.  
Diodes  
• All LG modules are equipped with factory installed  
bypass diodes. The factory-installed diodes provide  
proper circuit protection for the systems within the  
specified system voltage.  
• A multiplying factor is required for increased output  
of the PV modules. Under normal conditions, a PV  
module is likely to experience conditions that  
produce more current and/or voltage than reported  
at standard test conditions. The requirements of  
the National Electrical Code (NEC) in Article 690  
shall be followed to address these increased  
outputs. In installations not under the requirements  
of the NEC, the values of Isc and Voc marked on  
this PV module should be multiplied by a marked  
on this PV module should be multiplied by a factor  
of 125% when determining component voltage  
ratings, conductor ampacities, fuse sizes, and size  
of controls to the PV output.
