• Do not locate the solar module horizontally, as this may cause dirt or white efflorescence (glass
deformation)
• Do not cover the water drain hole of the frame. Doing so causes the risk of frost damage when the
frame is filled with water.
• Please handle the module with care.
• Do not place an excessive load on the module. The solar cell is very thin and will break easily under
excessive weight.
• Do not stand or step on the module.
• Do not drop the module or allow objects to fall down on the module.
• Do not damage, scratch, or hit the rear surface of the module.
• Do not hit the junction box or pull the cables.
• Do not lift the module by grasping the junction box.
• Do not disassemble, modify or adapt the module or remove any part or label.
• Do not drill holes in the frame or glass. It may decrease frame or glass strength.
• Do not scratch the insulation coating of the frame (except for a grounding connection), as doing so
may cause corrosion of the frame or decrease the framework strength.
• Do not apply paint or adhesives to the rear surface of the module.
• Never leave the module unsecured.
• A module with broken glass or back skin has peeled off must not be used.
• Broken or damaged modules must be handled carefully with appropriate protective equipment.
- Handling Safety
• Keep the system and modules away from children when installing.
• Keep the module packed in the carton until the time of installation.
• Do not touch the module more than during installation.
The glass surface and the frames heat up, so there is a risk of being burned or shocked when touch-
ing.
• Do not work under raining, snowing, or windy conditions.
• Use insulated tools and rubber gloves approved for working on electrical equipment.
• Do not use wet tools.
• When installing modules high above the ground, take precautions to avoid dropping the module or
tools.
• Make sure the flammable gases are not generated near the installation site.
• Completely cover the module surface with an opaque material during the module installation and
wiring work.
• Plug the connector in tightly and ensure that the wiring works.
• Do not perform any work if the terminals of module are wet due to the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not touch junction box or cable ends (connectors) with bare hand during the installation or
under sunlight, regardless of whether the module is connected or disconnected from the system.
• Do not unplug the connector if the system circuit is connected to a load.
• Do not work alone. Please work as part of a team of two or more people.
• Wear a safety belt if working high above the ground.
• Do not wear metallic jewelry while performing mechanical or electrical installation.
