1.1.
General safety
•
Modules that fall under this application class may be used in system operation at more than 50V DC
or 240W, where general contact access is anticipated. Modules qualified for safety under IEC 61730-2
and within this application class are considered to meet the requirements for Safety Class II. (IEC
Only).
•
PV modules are recommended to be installed at altitudes of less than 2000m.
•
Installing solar photovoltaic systems requires specialized skills and knowledge. Installation must only
be performed by authorized and trained personnel.
•
Installers must assume all risks of injury that might occur during installation, including, but not limited
to, the risk of electric shock.
•
One single module may generate more than 30V DC when exposed to direct sunlight. Contact with a
DC voltage is potentially hazardous and should be always avoid.
•
Do not disconnect the modules or any electrical part under load. PV modules generate electricity when
exposed to sunlight.
•
Number of modules string connected can cause lethal shock and burn hazards. Only authorized and
trained person should have access to the modules.
•
Photovoltaic solar modules convert light energy to direct current electrical energy. They are designed
for outdoor use. Modules can be ground mounted, mounted on rooftops. The proper design of support
structures lies within the responsibility of the system designers and installers.
•
When installing the system, abide to all local, regional and national statutory regulations. Obtain a
building permit if necessary.
•
The electrical characteristics are within ±3 percent of the indicated values of Isc, Voc and Pmax under
standard test conditions (irradiance of 1000 W/m2, AM 1.5 spectrum, and a cell temperature of 25
°C/77 °F).
•
Only use equipment, connectors, wiring and support frames suitable for solar electric systems.
•
Do not use mirrors, other magnifiers or artificially concentrated sunlight onto the modules.
•
Always use fall protection equipment when working from heights of 6 feet (183cm) or above. Follow
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) or local governing safety regulations regarding Fall
Protection. (UL Only)
•
Do not sit, stand, step or walk on any side of the module, including the frames.
•
Do not permit any part of the module(s) to be submerged or allow for constant water to soil the
module(s) unless it's natural rain fall or periodic cleaning.
•
Do not permit constant dew on any part of back-sheet of the module.
1.2.
Operation safety
•
Do not lift the module by holding the module’s junction box or electrical leads.
