Alternatively, a more accurate correction factor for 
the open-circuit voltage can be calculated using the 
following formula:

T

 is the lowest expected ambient temperature at the 

system installation site

αVoc

 (%/ºC) is the temperature coefficient of the 

selected module (refer to corresponding datasheet)

UNPACKING AND STORAGE

PRECAUTIONS 

·  Module should be stored in a dry and ventilated 

environment to avoid direct sunlight and 
moisture. If modules are stored in an uncontrolled 
environment, the storage time should be less than 
3 months and extra precautions should be taken 
to prevent connectors from being exposed to 
moisture or sunlight. 

·  Unpack module pallets carefully, following the 

steps shown on the pallet. Unpack, transport and 
store the modules with care.

·  Modules must always be unpacked by two people. 

Always use both hands when handling modules.

· 

Do not 

stand, step, walk and / or jump  on 

modules under any circumstances. Localized heavy 
loads may cause severe micro-cracks at cell level, 
which in turn may compromise module reliability.  

· 

Do not

 carry modules on your head.

· 

Do not 

drop or place objects (such as tools) on the 

modules.  

· 

Do not 

lift modules by their wires or junction box, 

lift them by the frame. 

·  Stacks of modules should contain no more than 12 

modules, and the frames should be aligned.

· 

Do not 

place excessive loads on the module or 

twist the module frame. 

· 

Do not 

use sharp instruments on the modules. 

Particular care should be taken to avoid module 
backsheets being damaged by sharp objects, as 
scratches may directly affect product safety.

· 

Do not 

leave modules unsupported or unsecured. 

· 

Do not

 change the wiring of bypass diodes.

·  Keep all electrical contacts clean and dry.

PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

·  Each module is equipped with two identical 

barcodes (one inside the laminate under the front 
glass, the second on the rear side of the module) 

that act as a unique identifier. Each module has 

a unique serial number containing 13 (pre March 
2013) or 14 (post March 2013) digits.

·  A nameplate is also affixed to the rear of each mo-

 

dule. This nameplate specifies the model type, as 

well as the main electrical and safety characteristics 
of the module.
