UNPACKING AND STORAGE
PRÉCAUTIONS
•
Modules should be stored in a dry and venti-
lated environment to avoid direct sunlight and
moisture. If modules are stored in an uncon-
trolled environment, the storage time should
be less than 3 months and extra precautions
should be taken to prevent connectors from
being exposed to moisture or sunlight, like
using connector endcaps. Connector endcaps
are available upon request.
•
Unpack module pallets carefully, following the
steps shown on the pallet. Unpack, transport
and store the modules with care.
•
Modules must always be unpacked and ins-
talled by at least two people. Always use both
hands when handling modules with gloves.
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
•
Each module has two identical barcodes (one
in the laminate under the front glass, the se-
cond on the rear side of the module) that act as
a unique identifier. Each module has a unique
serial number containing 14 digits.
•
A nameplate is also affixed to the rear glass
of each module. This nameplate specifies the
model type, as well as the main electrical and
safety characteristics of the module.
•
Do not lift modules by their wires or junction box.
•
Do not stack the framed modules.
•
Do not place excessive loads on the module or
twist the module.
•
Do not stand, step, walk and/or jump on
modules under any circumstances. Localized
heavy loads may cause severe micro-cracks
at cell level, which in turn may compromise
module reliability and void EDF ENR PWT’s
warranty.
•
Do not carry modules on your head.
•
Do not drop or place objects (such as tools) on
the modules.
•
Do not use sharp instruments on the modules.
•
Do not leave modules unsupported or unsecured.
•
Do not change the wiring of bsypass diodes
•
Keep all connectors clean and dry at all times.
•
Do not expose the modules and its connectors
to any unauthorized chemical substance (e.g.
oil, lubricant, pesticide, etc.).

MODULE INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES AND
GENERAL SAFETY
•
Prior to installing modules please obtain infor-
mation about any requirements and necessary
approvals for the site, installation and inspection
from the relevant authorities.
•
Check applicable building codes to ensure that
the construction or structure (roof, facade, sup-
port, etc.) can bear the module system load.
•
EDF ENR PWT bifacial double glass solar mo-
dules have been qualified for Application Class
A (equivalent to Safety Class II requirements).
Modules rated under this class should be used
in systems operating at voltage above 50V or
power above 240W, where general contact ac-
cess is anticipated.
•
EDF ENR PWT bifacial double glass modules
have been certified as Type 3 or Type 13 accor-
ding to UL 1703 and as Class A for fire perfor-
mance according to IEC 61730-2, please refer to
the datasheet or the product nameplate for the
detailed types.
•
Consult your local authority for guidelines and
requirements for building or structural fire safety.
UL 1703 SYSTEM FIRE RATING REQUIREMENTS
•
The fire rating of this module is only valid when
the product is installed as specified in the
mechanical mounting instructions.
•
When installing the modules, ensure the assem-
bly is mounted over a fire resistant roof cove-
ring rated for the application.
•
A photovoltaic system composed of UL1703
certified modules mounted on a UL2703 cer-
tified mounting system should be evaluated in
combination with roof coverings in accordance
with UL1703 standard, with respect to meeting
the same fire classification as the roof assembly.
•
Mounting systems with a System Fire Class Ra-
ting (Class A, B or C), tested in conjunction with
fire rated “Type 3” or “Type 13” rated modules,
