1. Before installation

Page 3

• Solar module installation should be

performed by an authorized
installer for the safety and mainte-
nance of the system.

• All installation instructions should be clearly

understood before attempting installation.

• Do not twist, pull, or scratch the cable attached

to the solar module.

• Do not touch the glass or rear sur-

face of the solar module with bare
hands.

• Do not stand on and put weight on the solar

module.

• Do not drop the solar module and cause an

excessive load on solar module

• Do not disassemble the solar mod-

ule.

• After installation or repair, check whether solar

module operates properly or not.

• Please compare the properties and perfor-

mance between the as-used module or part
and the new module or part if the replacement
of the module or any part should be required
due to breakdown.

• Please contact the local office to confirm the

regulations and to obtain permission.

Please carefully read this manual before installation.

2. Safety

• All installation and safety instructions should be clearly understood before attempting to install,

wire, operate, or maintain the module.

• Contact with electrically active parts of the solar module, such as terminals, could result in burns,

sparks, and lethal shock, whether the module is connected or not.

• Installation or maintenance should only be performed by qualified professionals, in accordance with

local requirements.

• No matter where the modules are installed, whether on roof-mounted construction or any other

type of above-ground structure, appropriate safety practices should be taken and required safety
equipment should be used in order to avoid possible safety hazards. Note that the installation of
some modules on roofs may require the addition of fireproofing, depending on local building/fire
codes.

• Use only equipment, connectors, wiring and support frames suitable for use in solar system.
• Follow all safety precautions of all other used components.
• Do not let anyone approach the solar module who has little knowledge of solar modules or on the

measures to take when solar modules are damaged in order to avoid the risk of injury or electrical
shock.

• Do not artificially concentrate sunlight on the module.
• Do not shade the module surface from sunlight for a long time. Shading can increase the tempera-

ture of the module.

• Do not clean the glass surface with alkaline detergents. Do not let water remain on the glass for a

long time.
