measures must be taken to ensure a safe working environment.
Always observe all governing codes and ordinances.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Only qualified professionals should install solar modules, DC cabling,
and any anti-lightning safety devices. Any loose components or
fasteners shall be retightened in accordance with these instructions.
