General Information
This manual contains information regarding the installation and safe handling of NSP photovoltaic (PV)
modules. All instructions should be read and understood before attempting to install. If there are any
questions, please contact your dealer or NSP for further information. The installer should conform to all
safety precautions in the manual when installing modules. Before installing a PV system, the installer should
become familiar with mechanical and electrical requirement for the PV system. All installations must be
performed in compliance with all applicable regional and local codes or other national and international
electrical standards. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
Safety Precaution for Installing Solar PV System
-
NSP modules are qualified for Application Class A: Hazardous voltage (greater than 50 V DC) or
hazardous power applications (greater than 240 W), where general contact access is anticipated.
Modules qualified for safety under IEC 61730-1, IEC 61730-2 and within this application class are
considered to meet the requirements for Safety Class II.
-
Installing PV systems should be performed only by qualified or licensed experts.
-
Ensure that the NSP modules are fastened to proper mounting systems designed for appropriate
mechanical loads resulting from wind and snow, and the proper weight of the modules.
-
It is suggested that completely cover the module with an opaque material during installation to keep
electricity from being generated.
-
Be very careful when disconnecting wires connected to PV modules that are exposed to sunlight, an
electric arc may result. Such arcs may cause burns, may start fires and may create problems.
-
Artificially concentrated sunlight shall not be directed on the module or panel.
-
Use only insulated tools that are approved for working on electrical installations.
-
Routine maintenance of module shall not involve breaking or disturbing the bonding path.
-
All of installation and handling activities must be carried out with due care, all collisions must be
avoided.
-
Lift pallets by a fork lifter by a minimum of 70% of pallet length when loading and unloading from the
length side of a pallet; and 100% of pallet width when loading and unloading from the width side of a
pallet.
-
Do not attempt to disassemble the module or remove any part of module.
-
Do not remove the attached nameplate or components.
-
Do not stand or walk on modules. Otherwise it will result in unexpected no matter
permanent or impermanent module defects, such as cracks, snail trails and etc.
I
Please read this manual carefully before installing the modules.
Non-compliance with these instructions may void the modules
warranty.
