WARNING
: Electrical Shocks and Burn Hazards:
Photovoltaic (PV) modules generate direct current (DC) when exposed to sunlight
or other light sources. Even though a single module generates low voltage and
current, shocks and burns can result from contact with module output wiring.
These hazards are increased when multiple modules are inter-connected to in-
crease array output current or voltage.
PV modules do not have to be “connected’ (i.e. powering a load) to generate
electricity. Since modules produce electricity whenever light is present, the mod-
ule front surfaces should be completely covered by an opaque cloth or other
material before electrical connections to the modules or other system compo-
nents are handled.
System Components
The PV power system includes other components (batteries, charge controllers, invert-
ers, etc.) be one to follow the safety recommendations of the manufacturers of these
devices.
General Handling and Use
• The module is rugged, but it should be handled carefully. In particular, impact
on the front or rear surface can damage it.
• For protection against electrical shock, use properly insulated tools and
follow appropriate safety procedures. This may involve the use of additional
approved safety equipment (such as insulating gloves, mats etc.)
• Do not bend the module.
• Do not disassemble the module.
• Do not attempt to increase module output by concentrating fight on its
surface.
Maintenance
• Inspect the module as necessary for mechanical integrity.
• Ensure that electrical connections are tight and free from corrosion.
• If the module surface is dirty, gently clean it with a soft cloth or sponge
using water and mild detergent. Do not use a scrub brush; it may damage
the module surface. Wear appropriate rubber gloves for protection against
electric shock.
