12.3 CONNECTORS
• Keep connectors dry and clean. Ensure that connector caps are hand-tight before connecting the modules.
• Do not attempt to make an electrical connection with wet, soiled, or otherwise faulty connectors.
• Avoid sunlight exposure and water immersion of the connectors. Avoid allowing connectors to rest on the ground.
• Ensure cable connectors are UL and Canadian code complaint.
• Faulty connections can result in arcs and electrical shock.
• Check that all electrical connections are securely fastened.
• Make sure that all locking connectors are fully engaged and locked.
12.4 DIODES
• The junction boxes used with Mission Solar Energy modules contain bypass diodes wired in parallel with the PV cell
strings.
• In the case of partial shading, the diodes bypass the current generated by the non-shaded cells, thereby limiting
modules heating and performance losses. Bypass diodes are not over-current protection devices.
• Bypass diodes divert current from the cell strings in the event of partial shading. In the event of a known or suspected
diode failure, installers or maintenance providers should contact Mission Solar Energy.
• Never attempt to open the junction box.
