PV modules generate DC electrical energy when exposed to sunlight or other light sources.
Active parts of module such as terminals can result in burns, sparks, and lethal shock
⚫
Artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on the module or panel.
⚫
Solar modules have a protective glass front. Broken solar module glass is an electrical
safety hazard (electric shock and fire). These modules cannot be repaired and should be
replaced immediately.

Electricity when exposed to the sun
⚫
To reduce the risk of electrical shocks or burns, modules may be covered with an
opaque material during installation to avoid shocks or burns.
⚫
All installations must be performed in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC)
and modules installed in Canada need to follow Canadian electric code.
⚫
The installation work of the PV array can only be done under the protection of
sun-sheltering covers or sunshades and only qualified person can install or perform
maintenance work on this module.
⚫
Follow the battery manufactu
re‘s recommendations if batteries are used with module
⚫
Do not use this module to replace or partly replace roofs and walls of living buildings.
⚫
Do not install modules where flammable gas may be present.
⚫
Do not touch live terminals with bare hands. Use insulated tools for electrical
