➢
Before handling, installing and operating Open Renewables
®
PV modules all instructions provided with this
manual shall be understood. Save this document and hand over a copy to the PV system owner.
➢
Follow all applicable national and international regulations and standards.
➢
When unpacking and installing PV modules and BOS components unauthorized people shall be kept in a save
distance to the construction site.
➢
When exposed to light (even under low light conditions), PV modules produce almost full voltage. Current and
power increase with light intensity.
➢
Under operating conditions, a PV module is likely to produce more current and/or voltage than reported at
Standard Test Conditions (1000 W/m2, AM 1.5 and 25 °C cell temperature). Accordingly, the values of short-
circuit current (Isc) and open-circuit voltage (Voc) given on the module label should be multiplied by a factor
of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor current rating, fuse sizes, and size of controls
connected to the PV output.
