DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY AND WARRANTY
Solahart assumes no responsibility for loss, damage or expense resulting from improper installation,
handling or misuse of PV modules. Refer to “Solahart PV System Warranty - Australia Only” on page 55 for
full warranty terms and conditions.
IEC 61730 INFORMATION
Modules supplied by Solahart are designed to fulfil the criteria of application Class A requirements according
to IEC 61730. Modules are qualified for application Class A: Hazardous voltage (Higher than 50 V DC) and
hazardous power (higher than 240 W) applications where general contact access is anticipated. For the
purposes of AS/NZS 3000, modules are classified as Class I equipment.
FIRE GUIDELINES
Utilise the following fire safety guidelines when installing modules supplied by Solahart:
•
Modules supplied by Solahart have a Class C Fire Rating.
•
Check with local authorities for guidelines and requirements concerning fire safety for any building or
structure on to which the modules will be installed.
•
The system design should ensure that fire fighting personnel can access the system in the event of a
building fire. Check with local authorities for any applicable regulations concerning setbacks or other
placement restrictions that may apply for roof-mounted PV arrays.
•
Any electrical equipment can pose a fire risk. Modules must therefore be mounted over a fire retardant
roof covering rated for the application.

conditions:
•
Modules are not suitable for installation in potentially hazardous locations.
•
Modules should not be installed in locations:

exposed to extreme air pollution, chemical vapours, acid rain and/or soot, etc.
which experience extreme hail and/or snow.
where they may be exposed to sulphur e.g. near sulphur springs or volcanoes where they may be

During installation and when working on the roof, be sure to observe the appropriate OH&S
safety regulations and relevant regulations of your local region.
Warning:
Ensure electrical connection/ disconnection is performed only when the relevant circuit is
isolated. Do not connect / disconnect wiring under load conditions.
Warning:
Do not expose the PV modules to artificially concentrated light.
Warning:
Do not drill holes in the modules as this will void product warranty.
