requirements.
•
When
professionals
replace
or

photovoltaic modules, do not damage the
surrounding photovoltaic modules or their
support structures.
•
When cleaning photovoltaic modules, you must
follow the cleaning requirements of photovoltaic
modules.
•
The connectors must be kept dry and clean to
ensure that they are in good working condition.
Do not insert other metal objects into the
connector or make electrical connections in any
other way.
5 Handling and unpacking
If the photovoltaic module is not in use, please do
not open the product packaging. The goods should
be stored in a dark, dry and ventilated place. If the
photovoltaic modules are stored in an uncontrollable
environment, the storage time must be less than 3
months when the outer packaging of the photovoltaic
modules is kept intact.
It is recommended to take appropriate amount of
photovoltaic modules for unpacking according to the
project progress every day, and the unpacked
photovoltaic modules should be installed within a
day. After unpacking, the photovoltaic modules are
stacked on the ground. In severe weather such as
heavy rain, the photovoltaic modules may be
immersed in water for a long time and affect the
reliability of the product. In severe weather such as
typhoons, photovoltaic modules that have not been
installed may also be scraped away.
5.1 Transport
When the photovoltaic modules are transported to
the project site, they must be transported in the
packaging box provided by 8 Star Energy, and
should be stored in the original packaging box before
installation. Please protect the packaging from
damage.
It is necessary to protect the safety of photovoltaic
modules when unloading, especially when hoisting
roof projects. It is forbidden to use lifting straps
directly on the pallet for hoisting. The photovoltaic
modules should be placed in a protective device and
then hoisted to the roof to prevent the packing box
from deforming and bumping against any walls
during the hoisting process.
Due to the limitation of the height of
the container, when the photovoltaic
modules are removed from the
container, the distance between the upper
surface of the forklift tines and the ground
should be less than 80mm, otherwise collisions
may easily occur, which may damage the
photovoltaic modules.
5.2 Unpacking
When unpacking, you need to tear the stretch film
first, then use a knife to cut the binding tape, and
remove the packing box cover.
If the inner packaging is fixed with anti-falling tape, a
group of two should hold the frame with both hands
in the same direction and take out the photovoltaic
modules one piece at a time, and remove the
photovoltaic module by tearing off a piece of fixing
glue. The photovoltaic modules in the box will fall; if
the internal packaging is fixed by the internal packing
belt, first cut the internal packing belt, use
anti-inverted sticks and other non-sharp and reliable
items to hold one side of the long side frame, and
then cut the other side. Two people can then move
and take out the photovoltaic modules one by one
around the frame; the whole handling process needs
to be handled with care, and you must make sure to
not collide with any hard objects or allow any part of
the frame to touch the ground or be dragged.
5.3 Stacking of photovoltaic modules
When taking out the photovoltaic module from the
packing box, you need to lay the cardboard on the
ground first to prevent the photovoltaic module from
