SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

 

Potentially lethal DC voltages can be generated whenever PV Modules are exposed to a light source, 
avoid contact with electrically active parts and be sure to isolate live circuits before attempting to 
make or break any connections. 

 

Only authorized and trained personnel should have access to or perform work on the modules or 
solar system. 

 

When working on electrical connections, remove all metallic jewelry, use properly insulated tools and
