sharp decline of module’s power performance; what’s more, it may threaten your safety.
Under the anticipated conditions, a PV module can supply a higher current and/or voltage than specified in the
standardised test conditions. The voltage rating of components, current rating values of conductors, fuse sizes and
rating of controllers connected to the outputs of PV modules should be at least 1.25 times the module Isc and Voc. For
systems installed in North America, refer to Section 690-8 of the National Electrical Code for an additional 1.25
multiplying factor where applicable. The highest rating value for the overcurrent protection (reverse-current strength)
is 20 A.

Module Handling
Safety
A pallet of solar panels weighs over 600 kg
Solar panels weigh up to and over 20 kg, and at over 1.5 m long can be cumbersome to handle. Care should be
taken to avoid injury
It is hazardous to install solar panels in high wind conditions
It is hazardous to install solar panels in wet weather
General
Take care when transporting and handling solar panels. Many issues caused by rough handling will arise years after the
installation. Taking additional care can save considerable time and money from avoided service calls and replacements.
It is recommended that you inspect all deliveries immediately to ensure there have not been any issues during
transit. If there are any problems contact WINAICO immediately
Never walk on a solar module or place or drop a heavy object onto one
Modifications or repairs must be confirmed by WINAICO in writing
Keep all electrical contacts clean and dry
Do not work on the modules with sharp objects
Record module serial numbers for system documentation
Transport
Transport vehicles and equipment should
be fit for purpose and well maintained
Secure boxes in transit to avoid collisions
or impacts during transportation
Treat boxes and pallets with care, do not
drop or allow the boxes to receive impacts
Any other freight being transported with Solar Modules should be properly secured to prevent impacts
Any panels transported outside of their boxes should be properly secured and not allowed to move
independently
Storage
Store in a cool dry place. The cardboard
box while strong is not waterproof
WINAICO Pallets can be stacked once on
top for storage. Do not stack more than
two pallets high
Leave modules in packaging until they are
ready for install
