environment to avoid direct sunlight and moisture. If
modules are stored in an uncontrolled environment,
the storage time should be less than 3 months and
extra precautions should be taken to prevent
connectors from being exposed to moisture or sunlight,
like using connector endcaps. In any circumstance, for
pallets of modules packaged in landscape orientation,
stacking of no more than two layers is allowed, for
pallets of modules packaged in portrait orientation,
stacking is not allowed.
When unloading modules pallets from flat truck, please
use a crane or a forklift to remove the module pallets.
When unloading modules pallets from containers,
please use a forklift to remove the module pallets from
the container or trailer. Do not move any pallets within
the
container or trailer without properly lifting them
first.
The forklift should be close to the ground in order
to avoid the top of module pallets touching the top of
the cabinet door. The thickness of forklift teeth should
be less than 75mm, and the length of the forklift teeth
should be longer than 2300mm, when unloading 6W-
MS module pallets from the short side. For unloading
CS7N-MS and CS7L-MS modules, the thickness of
forklift teeth should be less than 75mm, the length of
the forklift teeth should be longer than 1250mm and
the width of forklift teeth should be wider than 600mm
(from middle to middle of the forklift teeth). Consult
your Canadian Solar representative for more detailed
unloading instructions.
Unpack module pallets carefully, following the steps
shown on the pallet. Unpack, transport and store the
modules with care.
Modules must always be unpacked and installed by two
or three people. Always use both hands when handling
modules.
For modules vertically packed lying on the
short side (CS7L and CS7N), it is
recommended to support the unpacked
modules by one person during the unpacking process.
Please use an anti-tipping structure that can be built with
the pallet’s own wooden frame according to the
instructions below:
During unpacking, the unpacked modules should be
properly fixed. After unpacking, it is recommended to
place the remaining modules in the pallet shall be
placed horizontally on a pallet not exceeding the total
number 12 of in one stack. Visit our website or contact
your Canadian Solar representative for more detailed
unpacking requirements.
Do not
lift modules by their wires or junction box, lift
them by the frame.
Do not
allow the panels to sag or bow under their own
weight when being carried.
Stacks of modules should contain no more than 12
modules, and the frames should be aligned.
Do not
place excessive loads on the module or twist the
module frame.
Do not
stand, step, walk and/or jump on modules
under any circumstances. Localized heavy loads may
cause severe micro-cracks at cell level, which in turn
may compromise module reliability and void Canadian
