INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL SOLAR MODULES Q.PEAK DUO-G6.X+ – Q CELLS

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL SOLAR MODULES Q.PEAK DUO-G6.X+ – Q CELLS

With solar modules from Hanwha Q CELLS (hereafter referred 
to as "Q CELLS") you can directly transform the sun’s limitless 
energy into environmentally-friendly solar electricity. In order 
to ensure the maximum performance of your Q CELLS solar 
modules, please read the following instructions carefully and 
observe all guidelines. Non-compliance may result in damage 
and/or physical injury.

This installation and operation manual (hereafter also referred 
to as the “Manual”) provides instructions for the safe installation 
and operation of crystalline solar modules.

 

Ä

Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding 
with your installation.

 

Ä

Please retain these instructions for the life of the solar 
modules.

 

Ä

Please ensure that this Manual is available to the operator 
at all times.

 

Ä

This Manual should be given to all subsequent owners or users 
of the solar modules.

 

Ä

All supplements received from the manufacturer should be 
included.

 

Ä

Please observe all other applicable documents.

Safety Regulations

In particular the installer as well as the operator of a module 
is responsible for compliance with all applicable statutory 
requirements and regulations. 

 

Ä

Unless otherwise specified by any laws or regulations, the 
following stipulations must be upheld at all times during 
the installation, operation, and maintenance of the solar 
modules: 

• 

This manual.

• 

Other applicable stipulations (such as country-specific 
regulations for pressure equipment, operational safety, 
hazardous goods, and environmental protection).

• 

Regulations and requirements specific to the system.

• 

Any applicable laws and requirements, in particular inter-
national, country specific, regional laws and stipulations 
governing the planning, installation, and operation of solar 
power systems and work on roofs.

• 

Any valid international, national and regional regulations 
governing work with direct current, especially those appli-
cable to the installation of electrical devices and systems, 
and regulations issued by the respective energy provider 
governing the parallel operation of solar power systems.

• 

Any international, country specific and regional accident-pre-
vention regulations.

• 

Other applicable stipulations provided by the relevant 
national institutions regarding safety in the installation and 
operation of electrical items. For example, in Germany the 
Bau-Berufsgenossenschaft (German institution for statutory 
accidence insurance and prevention in the building trade).

Qualified and Skilled Personnel

Both, the installer and operator are responsible for ensuring that 
the installation (including connection to the grid), maintenance 
and dismantling are carried out by trained and qualified specialists 
with approved training certificates (issued by a state or federal 
organization) for the respective specialist trade. Electrical work 
may only be performed by an officially certified tradesperson 
in accordance with the stipulations applicable in the relevant 
country with regard to standard and regulations (in Germany 
e. g. DIN standards, VDE regulations) and the stipulations of the 
local grid operator and/or energy provider.
