5.4 eleCTrICal InsTallaTIon warnIngs

• 

Installation and maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel only. 

• 

Use insulated tools during installation, troubleshooting and maintenance of photovoltaic modules. 

• 

Installers should adhere to all applicable local, regional, and national codes and regulations when designing and 
constructing the photovoltaic system. 

• 

Photovoltaic modules produce DC electrical energy from light. When illuminated, each module can have a DC potential 
of greater than 45V and should be handled with care. 

• 

Disconnecting modules under illumination may cause electrical arcing which may result in burns, fires, or other 
problems. Modules connected in series should not be disconnected under illumination. 

• 

Always use a wire management system that keeps wires and cables out of direct contact with edge surfaces which 
could cut or damage the insulation. Do not allow wires to rest on the ground or roof surface. 

• 

The module junction box should not be opened or modified in any way in the field. 

• 

Do not use mirrors, lenses, or other techniques to magnify or concentrate additional light on the module.
