Nameplate: describes the product type; rated power, rated current, rated voltage, open circuit voltage, short circuit
current, all as measured under standard test conditions; weight, dimension etc.; the maximum system voltage is 1000
volts DC is shown on the nameplate. Maximum fuse rating is also shown.
“QA Pass” stamp: module will be strictly inspected according to standard and get a QA Pass stamp on the backsheet.
2-dimensional Bar code: The serial number has 16 digits. There are two bar codes on each module. One is permanently
attached to the interior of the module and is visible when viewing the front of the module, and another is stuck to the
rear side of the module.
Removing a label will make the Talesun warranty void.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
2.1
GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
DANGER! Danger due to electric shock!
All installations must be performed in compliance with all applicable regional and local codes, or
other national or international electrical standards as applicable.
A solar module generates electricity and voltage even at low intensity of illumination.
Physically disconnecting contacts in a live electrical circuit can cause arching, resulting in
grave or mortal injury. The severity increases when several modules are connected in series.
Cover the solar modules with opaque material for the entire duration of assembly. Only then is the module reliably de-
energized.
Never disconnect plugs when under load. Be aware that even without the presence of daylight, residual charge may still
be present in the plant. Ensure that the modules are first disconnected from the inverter prior to opening any contacts
in the solar installation.
Artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on the module. Solar modules produce electrical energy when
light shines on their front surface. The DC voltage may exceed 30V. Contact with a DC voltage of 30V or more is
potentially hazardous.
In the case of module or phase voltages of more than 120 V, the extra-low voltage range is left. Undertake the
necessary protective and precautionary measures.
Do not insert electrically conductive parts into the plugs and junction box. Do not touch the contacts or exposed
terminals.
Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the modules.
In case of damaged modules or operational errors of the solar array, always contact your installer or Talesun Technical
Customer Service.
Do not wear metallic ornaments or metallic devices while installing or troubleshooting photovoltaic systems.
WARNING! Danger of injury due to broken glass! Risk of injury due to falling modules!
The modules are primarily made of glass and must therefore be handled with appropriate caution.
In order to ensure safe mounting, familiarize yourself with all applicable national regulations for
work safety and accident prevention.
Wear suitable protective clothing (e.g. safety shoes, protective gloves) in order to prevent injuries.
If the front glass is broken, or the back sheet is torn, contact with any module surface or the frame can cause electric
