Danger of death from electric shock!
Solar modules generate electricity as soon as they are exposed to light. One module on its own is below the safety
extra low volt level, but multiple modules connected in series (summing the voltage) or in parallel (summing the
current) represent a danger. The following points must be observed when handling the solar modules to avoid the
risk of fire, sparking and fatal electric shock.
●
Do not insert electrically conducting parts into the plugs or sockets!
●
Do not fit solar modules and wiring with wet plugs and sockets!
●
Exercise utmost caution when carrying out work on wiring and safety equipment (use insulated tools,
insulated gloves, etc.)!
●
Do not use damaged modules! Do not dismantle modules! Do not mark on the rear of the module using
sharp objects!
●
Exercise utmost caution when working on wiring and the inverter. Be sure carefully to follow manufacture’s
installation instructions!
●
Artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on the modules or panels!

Danger of death from arcing
!
Modules generate direct current when light shines on them. An arc may be produced when connections are
separated. We therefore recommend covering modules with a lightproof cloth during installation. When breaking a
connected string of modules (e.g. when disconnecting the DC line from the inverter under load), a lethally strong arc
can occur:
●
Never disconnect the solar generator from the inverter while the inverter is connected to the mains
grid—remove the fuse from the AC side on the inverter first!
●
Ensure cable connections in perfect condition (no splitting, soiling or other contamination)!
