Thank you for choosing Yingli Solar as your PV module provider. We appreciate 
your business! This manual contains important information pertaining to the 
electrical and mechanical installation and maintenance of PV modules, and 
contains safety information that you must read carefully and be familiar with 
before handling, installing, and/or maintaining Yingli Solar PV modules.

Yingli Solar does not assume responsibility and expressly disclaims liability for 
losses, damages, or expenses arising out of, or in any way connected with this 
Installation and User Manual. Yingli Solar assumes no responsibility for any 
infringement of patents or other rights of third parties, which may result from 
using Yingli Solar PV modules. No license is granted expressly or by implication 
or under any patent or patent rights. The information in this manual is believed

Yingli Solar and its subsidiaries are not liable for any damages caused by  
inappropriate installation, use or maintenance of Yingli Solar PV modules, 
including without limitation damages, losses and expenses caused by non-
observance of the instructions of this manual or caused by or in connection with 
products of other manufacturers.

Yingli Solar PV modules are designed to meet the requirements for the standards 
IEC 61215 and IEC 61730, application class A. Modules rated for use in this 
application class may be used in systems operating at greater than 50 V DC 
or 240 W, where general contact access is anticipated. Modules qualified for 
safety through IEC 61730-1 and IEC 61730-2 and within this application class are 
considered to meet the requirements for safety class II. In the course of the PV 
module certification process, the compliance of this manual with the certification 
requirements has been verified by an independent certification laboratory. 

This Installation and User Manual is available in different languages. In cases of 
discrepancy between versions, the English language version shall control.

Failure to comply with the requirements listed in this manual will invalidate the 
Limited Warranty for PV modules as provided by Yingli Solar at the time of sale 
to the direct customer. Additional recommendations are provided to enhance 
safety practices and performance results. Please provide a copy of this manual 
to the PV system owner for their reference, and inform them of all relevant 
aspects of safety, operation and maintenance.

General 

You must understand and follow all applicable local, state and federal 
regulations and standards for building construction, electrical design, fire and 
safety, and must check with local authorities to determine applicable permitting 
requirements before attempting to install or maintain PV modules.

Rooftop PV systems should only be installed on houses that have been formally 
analyzed for structural integrity, and confirmed to be capable of handling the 
additional load of PV system components, including  PV modules, by a certified 
building specialist or engineer.

 

For your safety, do not attempt to work on a rooftop until safety precautions 

have been identified and taken, including without limitation 
fall protection measures, ladders or stairways, and personal 
protective equipment.

For your safety, do not install or handle PVmodules under 

adverse conditions, including without limitation strong or gusty winds, and wet 
or frosted roof surfaces. 

PV modules are photovoltaic products made of tempered glass, encapsulant, 
ribbon, cells and junction boxes. Figure 1 is an illustration of the PV module 
components.

Electrical

PV modules can produce current and voltage when exposed to light of any 

intensity. Electrical current increases with higher light 
intensity. DC voltage of 30 Volts or higher is potentially lethal. 
Contacting live circuitry of a PV system operating under light 
can result in lethal electric shock.

De-energize PV modules by removing them entirely from light 

or by

 

covering their front and rear surfaces with an opaque material. Regard the 

safety regulations for live electrical equipment when working with modules that 
are exposed to any light. Use insulated tools and do not wear metallic

 

jewelry 

while working with PV modules.

In order to avoid arcing and electrical shock, do not disconnect electrical 
connections under load. Faulty connections can also result in arcing and 
electrical shock. Keep connectors dry and clean, and ensure that they are in 
proper working condition. Never insert metallic objects into the connectors, or
