WARNING!
This photovoltaic module produces electricity when exposed to the sun or other light sources.
The electrical hazard from the voltage and current of a single module is low. However, the
voltage increases as modules are connected in series and the available current increases as
modules are connected in parallel. Thus, for a module connected within a system, contact with
electrically active parts of the module such as terminals can result in lethal shock, sparks, and
burns. The only way to eliminate this hazard is to prevent exposure of the module(s) to light.
Work safety:
- Be familiar with the basic principles of electricity and electrical equipment. Use properly
insulated tools and appropriate protective equipment. Obtain and use a voltmeter for all systems
where there is more than one module in series.
- Cover module face(s) completely with opaque material to halt the production of electricity when
working with module wiring. Disconnect module(s) from other sources of electricity, such as
batteries, when working on system.
- Avoid contact with terminals when modules are exposed to light. Always leave junction box
covers in place unless working on wiring. Other than the junction box cover, do not remove any
part installed by Power-Value or disassemble the module.
- Do not attempt to install or use a module with broken front cover glass or a perforated
backsheet.
