falling during the unpacking process. Please use an
anti-tipping structure. Such structure 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 un-installed modules horizontally
on a pallet, not exceeding the total number of 12
modules 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.
Stacking of modules should be limited to no more than
12 modules and frames should be aligned with one
another on the pile.
Do not
place excessive loads on the module or twist the
module.
Do not
carry modules on your head.
Do not
drop or place objects (such as tools) on the
modules.
Do not
use sharp instruments on the modules.
Do not
leave modules unsupported or unsecured.
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
Solar’s warranty.
Do not
change the wiring of bypass diodes.
Keep all electrical contacts clean and dry at all times.
Do not
expose the modules and its electrical contacts
to any unauthorized chemical substance (e.g. oil,
lubricant, pesticide, etc.).
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
Each module has three identical barcodes (one in the
laminate under the front glass, the second on the rear
side of the module and the third on the frame) that act as
a unique identifier. Each module has a unique serial
number containing 14 digits or 16 digits.
A nameplate is also affixed to the rear of each module.
This nameplate specifies the model type, as well as the
main electrical and safety characteristics of the module.
