IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety instructions for the PV module
that must be followed during the maintenance of PV modules.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing
unless you are qualified to do so.
1.
The installation must be performed by a certified installer
/servicer to ensure system integrity and safety.
2.
The installation is only allowed after referring and
understanding of GENERAL INSTALLATION MANUAL and
INSTALLATION MANUAL -PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE-. If you
don’t have your personal copy, please contact your installer or
local Sharp office listed in Sharp Solar web site : URL :
http://www.sharp-world.com/solar
3.
Do not pull the PV cables.
4.
Do not touch any surface of module.
5.
Do not place/drop objects onto the PV modules.
6.
Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the PV module by
yourself.
7.
Do not drop the PV module.
8.
Do not damage, pull, bend, or place heavy material on cables.
9.
Upon completion of any service or repairs, ask the
installer/servicer to perform routine checks to determine that
the PV modules are in safe and proper operating condition.
10. When replacement parts are required, be sure the
installer/servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer with
same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazard.
11. Consult your local building and safety department for required
permits and applicable regulations.
12. In regions with snow, the module can sustain a snow load of up
to 50cm (when the module is mounted in the portrait orientation
/ short frame side facing down) or 100cm (when the module is
mounted in the landscape orientation / long frame side facing
down).
13. As a result of sliding snow, the mechanical load increases when
the number of module rows in the matrix of a PV installation
increases. When mounting the module in the portrait orientation
for more than 3 rows, the accumulated snow load may cause
the lower edge of the module frame to deform. Take necessary
measures (e.g. snow stopper) to avoid possible damage.
14. Periodically remove any overhanging snow and/or ice from the
module framework as it may cause deformation of the module
frame.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. INTRODUCTION
This Installation Manual contains essential information for the electrical and mechanical installation that you must know before
installing SHARP PV modules. This also contains safety information you need to be familiar with. All the information described in
this manual are the intellectual property of SHARP and based on the technologies and experiences that have been acquired and
accumulated in the long history of SHARP. This document does not constitute a guaranty, expressed or implied. SHARP does not

2. COMPONENTS
3. GENERAL INFORMATION
(INCLUDING WARNING AND SAFETY)
The installation of PV modules requires a great degree of skill
and should only be performed by a qualified licensed
professional, including licensed contractors and licensed
electricians. Please be aware that there is a serious risk of
various types of injury occurring during the installation including
the risk of electric shock. All SHARP PV modules are equipped
with a permanently attached junction box that will accept variety
of wiring applications or with a special cable assembly for ease
of installation, and they do not require special assembly.
GENERAL WARNING
1.
PV modules are heavy. Handle with care.
2.
Before you attempt to install, wire, operate and maintain
the PV module, please make sure that you completely
understand the information described in this installation
manual.
3.
Contact with electrically active parts of a PV module such
as terminals can result in burns, sparks and lethal shock
