WARNINGS AND ELECTRICAL RISKS
• Each Module produces a direct current (DC) when it is exposed to sunlight or other light sources. Contact
with any of the electrically active parts of the module, such as terminals, can result in injury or death,
regardless of whether or not the module is connected.
• The modules must be handled and installed only by certified electricians.
• The modules are packed and protected to avoid shipping/handling damage. This packaging must not be
removed until installation to avoid damage.
• The modules should be stored in a dry and temperature controlled place prior to their installation, always
in a well-balanced position. Please note that dropping can result in glass breakage. A module with a
broken glass must not be installed. Broken glass can produce fragments that may cause injury to
personnel handling it.
• The module’s glass is tempered and therefore has higher resistance to impact. However, impact of a tool
can cause serious damage to it. Modules should be handled with extreme caution to avoid impact from
any tool or other heavy objects. Walking on the modules should also be avoided. (Maximum load rating is
146.5 Kg/m

)
• DO NOT disassemble the module or remove any of its parts. Improper handling of the junction box may
produce loss of the waterproof rating and electrical protection, which may lead to deterioration and/or
corrosion of the unit. DO NOT handle the bypass diodes or bypass connections.
• The module already contains all the necessary wiring for its connection, so the junction box must not be
interfered with in its installation.
