These instructions describe the assembly, connection,
maintenance, and disposal of solar modules. Please read them
carefully and comply with them accordingly.
The installation and electrical connection of photovoltaic sys-
tems may only be carried out by specialist personnel, who are
familiar with this work through their professional qualifica-
tions. For the operation, installation, use and maintenance of
the other components, comply with the relevant installation
instructions from the manufacturer.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to property, which
could consequently pose a risk to people. SOLARWATT accepts
no responsibility or liability for losses, damage, or costs
resulting from incorrect installation, operation, use, or
maintenance or losses, damage, or costs which are connected
to any of the above in any way. The SOLARWATT installation
instructions should be made available to the operator as part
of the solar power system documentation and stored by the
operator.
Comply with the guidelines, laws, and regulations valid in the
relevant country when planning, setting up, and operating
grid-connected PV systems. For information on additional
requirements, please contact the responsible local authori-
ties and the network operator.
SOLARWATT solar modules are made from high-quality
materials and high-performance solar cells, and are therefore
extremely reliable. The quality of the solar modules made
exclusively in Germany is ensured by multiple tests carried
out on the products throughout the entire production pro-
cess. SOLARWATT solar modules are VDE-tested and fulfill the
requirements of the extended test standard IEC 61215 Ed.2,
as well as the safety standard IEC 61730. In SOLARWATT‘s
own research and development department, tests are carried
out using measuring, testing, and environmental simula-
tion equipment which go above and beyond the current valid
standards and enable us to optimize our products continually.
If treated correctly, your SOLARWATT solar modules will offer
you several decades of service.
SOLARWATT recommends insuring the PV system against
reduced yields or damage with SOLARWATT Full Coverage for
complete security. Further information is available from your
SOLARWATT partner or online at www.solarwatt.net.
Information on the solar module
Detailed electrical and mechanical properties for your specific
module type can be found on the relevant data sheet. The key
technical data under standard test conditions [STC, solar cell
temperature: 25°C, irradiation: 1,000 Watt/m², air mass: 1.5
(corresponds to a sun elevation angle of 41.8°)] can also be
found on the nameplate of the solar module.

PuRchAse Of YOuR sOlARWAtt sOlAR MODule
SOLARWATT solar modules are made from high-quality mate-
rials and are therefore extremely stable and long-lasting. The
solar modules should nevertheless be left in the packaging
until installation to help prevent any damage. The modules
should be stored in a dry place and protected from weather
conditions. The packaging (film, tape, pallet, etc.) should
be recycled. Contact the responsible local waste disposal
company.
WARning
Failure to comply with the installation instructions
results in the warranty and guarantee becoming null and
void.

You are responsible for checking the goods and packaging
for transport damage immediately on receipt. If any
damage is discovered, note it on the shipping papers
describing each pallet in detail, and take photographs as
documentary evidence. Have the driver countersign these
notes. If more than 33 % solar modules on one pallet are
damaged, refuse to accept the pallet. Please fill out the
„Transport Damage Complaint Notification“ form (www.
solarwatt.net) and return it to SOLARWATT GmbH.
