2.1 Installation Safety
Always wear protective head gear, insulating gloves and safety shoes (with rubber soles)
and other protective measures during installation.
When installing or maintaining the photovoltaic system, please do not wear metal rings,
watches and other metal products, so as not to cause electric shock danger and damage
the modules.
Keep the PV module packed in the carton until installation.
Once the modules are removed
from the packing box, they should be installed and connected to the bus box in time. If they
are not installed immediately, protective measures (such as adding rubber joint cover, etc.)
should be taken on the connection head.
Do not touch the PV module unnecessarily during installation. The glass surface and the
frame may be hot. There is a risk of burns and electric shock.
Do not work in rain, snow or windy conditions.
Due to the risk of electrical shock, do not perform any work if the terminals of the PV module
are wet.
Use insulated tools and do not use wet tools.
When installing PV modules, do not drop any objects (e.g., PV modules or tools).
Make sure flammable gasses are not generated or present near the installation site.
Insert module connectors fully and correctly. An audible "click" sound should be heard. This
sounds confirms the connectors are fully seated. Check all connections.
The module leads should be securely fastened to the module frame, Wire Management
should be done in a way to avoid the connector from scratching or impacting the rear cover
of the module.
Do not touch the junction box and the end of the interconnect cables (connectors) with bare
hands during installation or under sunlight, regardless if the PV module is connected to or
disconnected from the system.
Do not expose the PV module to excessive loads on the surface of the PV module or twist
the frame.
Do not hit or put excessive load on the glass or rear cover, this may break the cells or cause
micro cracks.
During the installation or operation, don’t use sharp tools to wipe the rear cover and glass.
Scratches can appear on the module.
Do not drill holes in the frame. It may cause corrosion of the frame.
