CAUTIONS
Use a module for its intended purpose only.
Do not treat any portion of the module with paint or adhesives, to avoid damage to the module,
in
operable conditions, or reducing the module’s functionality.
Careful attention to the design of the PV system and electrical capacity of system components is
required (especially the inverter) for the reason that this module may generate more than 120% of
its’ STC rated power (Pmax).
This additional power depends upon the level of incident light irradiance (Aledo) available to the
backside of the module, and can be increased or decreased depending upon site characteristics
and installation design.
Please do
n’t uses artificially concentrate sunlight on the modules.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Systems must be installed by qualified and experienced personnel only.
Do not step on the module. Although AXITEC LLC modules are quite rugged, the glass may be
broken (and the module will no longer work properly) if it is dropped or hit by tools or other objects.
Sunlight shall not be concentrated on the module.
The module frames is made of anodized aluminum, and therefore corrosion can occur if the module
is placed in a salt water environment with contact to a rack of an- other type of metal (Electrolytic
Corrosion). If required, PVC or stainless steel washers can be placed between the solar module
frame and support structure to prevent this type of corrosion.
Any module support structures that are to be used to support AXITEC LLC solar module must be
wind rated and approved for use by the appropriate local and civil codes prior to installation.
