•
Do not place any heavy or sharp objects on the module.
•
Be cautious when placing the module down onto a surface, particularly when placing it in a corner.
•
Inappropriate transport and installation may break the module and void the warranty.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble the modules, and do not remove any attached nameplates or
components from the modules.
•
Do not apply paint or adhesive to the module top surface or back-sheet.
•
To avoid damage to the back-sheet and cells, do not scratch, dent or hit the back-sheet. During the
transportation,
•
Do not to apply direct pressure on the back-sheet or front glass. Do not drill holes in the frame. This
may compromise the frame strength, cause corrosion of the frame and void the warranty.
•
Do not scratch the anodized coating of the frame (except for grounding connections at the grounding
connection point on the back side of the module). It may cause corrosion of the frame or compromise
the frame strength.
•
A module with broken glass or torn back-sheet cannot be repaired and must not be used since contact
with any module surface or the frame can cause an electric shock.
•
Work only under dry conditions, and use only dry tools. Do not handle modules under wet conditions
unless wearing appropriate protective equipment.
•
When storing uninstalled modules outdoors for any period of time, always cover the modules and
ensure that the glass faces down on a soft flat surface to prevent water from collecting inside the
module and causing damage to exposed connectors.
1.3.
Installation safety
•
Never disconnect electrical connections or unplug connectors while the circuit is under load.
•
Contact with electrically active parts of the modules, such as terminals, can result in burns, sparks and
lethal shock whether or not the module is connected.
•
Do not touch the PV module unnecessarily during installation. The glass surface and the frame may
be hot; there is a risk of burns and electric shock.
•
Do not work in the rain, snow or in windy conditions.
•
Avoid exposing cables and connectors to direct sunlight and scratches or cuts in order to prevent
insulation degradation. Use only insulated tools that are approved for working on electrical
installations.
•
Keep children well away from the system while transporting and installing mechanical and electrical
components. Completely cover the module with an opaque material during installation to prevent
electricity from being generated.
•
Do not wear metallic rings, watchbands, earrings, nose rings, lip rings or other metallic objects while
installing or troubleshooting photovoltaic systems.
•
Follow the safety regulations (e.g., safety rules for working on electrical power plant stations) of your
regions and for all other system components, including wires and cables, connectors, charging
regulators, inverters, storage batteries, rechargeable batteries, etc.
