1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 

This  general  manual  provides  important  safety 
information relating to the installation, maintenance and 
handling of double glass solar modules. 

Professional installer must read these guidelines carefully 
and  strictly  follow  these  instructions.  Failure  to  follow 
these instructions may result in death, injury or property 
damage.  The  installation  and  handling  of  PV  modules 
require professional skills and should only be performed 
by qualified professionals. The installers must inform end-
users (consumers) the aforesaid information accordingly.   

The word “module” or “PV module” used in this manual 
refers to one or more double glass solar modules.  This 
manual is valid for the bifacial double glass module types 
CS3W-PB-AG,  CS3W-MB-AG,  CS3Y-MB-AG,  CS3Y-PB-AG, 
CS6W-MB-AG,CS6R-MB-AG

CS7N-MB-AG,  CS7L-MB-AG, 

and  monofacial  double  glass  module  types  CS6R-H-AG 
and  CS6RA-H-AG.  Please  retain  this  manual  for  future 
reference. 

We  recommend  visiting  www.csisolar.com  regularly  for 
the  most  updated  version  of  double  glass  module 
installation manual.

1.2 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

Canadian Solar shall not be held responsible for damages 
of any kind, including – without limitation – bodily harm, 
injury or damage to property, in connection with handling 

PV  modules,  system  installation,  or  compliance  or  non-
compliance with the instructions set forth in this manual. 

2.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

Warning

 

Before  attempting  to  install,  wire,  operate 
and/or  service  the  module  and  other 

electrical equipment, all instructions should be read and 
understood.  PV  module  connectors  pass  direct  current 
(DC)  when  exposed  to  sunlight  or  other  light  sources. 
Contact with electrically active parts of the module, such 
as terminals, can result in injury or death, irrespective of 
whether  or  not  the  module  and  the  other  electrical 
equipment have been connected.   

Avertissement 

Toutes les instructions devront être lues et 
comprises avant de procéder à l’installation, 

le câblage, l’exploitation et/ou l’entretien des panneaux.   

Les interconnexions des panneaux conduisent du courant 
continu (CC) lorsque le panneau est exposé à la lumière 
du soleil ou à d’autres sources lumineuses. Tout contact 
avec des éléments sous tension du panneau tels que ses 
bornes de sortie peut entraîner des blessures ou la mort, 
que le panneau soit connecté ou non. 

General Safety 

All modules must be installed by licensed electricians in 
accordance to the applicable electrical codes such as, the 
latest National Electrical Code (USA) or Canadian Electric 
Code  (Canada)  or  other  national  or  international 
applicable electrical codes. 

Protective clothing (non-slip gloves, clothes, 
etc.)  must  be  worn  during  installation  to 
prevent  direct  contact  with  30  V  DC  or 
greater, and  to protect  hands from  sharp 
edges. 

Prior to installation, remove all metallic 
jewelry to prevent accidental exposure to 
live circuits. 

When installing modules in light rain, 
morning dew, take appropriate measures 
to prevent water ingress into the
