DC Cable safety
• Ensure proper routing of PV module DC cable using the clips to prevent
the leads from resting on the roof. Do not wrap excess DC cable around
the microinverter.
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
• Avoid sharp edges on racking.
• Avoid cable contacting rough surfaces or moving parts within the
racking system.
• Avoid overly tight bending radii. The minimum bend radii for the DC
cable is 8 X cable outer diameter.
• Avoid overly tight-sized cable clips for routing.
