• The photovoltaic solar module has been designed to work with levels of incidental irradiance normally
found on the Earth´s surface. DO NOT concentrate the radiation without the express consent of Helios
Solar Works as this concentration without rigorous and uniform control can produce malfunctions and can
affect some cells of the module.
• The photovoltaic module produces a voltage in the form of current that always continues as long as the
unit is illuminated. As a precaution, it is recommended that the module should be covered for its handling
and/or connection or otherwise the connection should be done in hours of low irradiance intensity.
• The tools used to connect the modules must comply with provincial electrical safety regulations. They
must be dry and have the correct level of insulation.
• The connection and disconnection of the photovoltaic modules can produce sparks. DO NOT attempt to
connect or disconnect the modules in the presence of flammable substances.
• Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module is likely to experience conditions that produce more
current and/or voltage than reported at standard test conditions. Accordingly, the values of ISC and VOC
marked on this module should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage
ratings, conductor capacities, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to the PV output. Please refer to
the local electrical safety code for additional information.
