Safety
General Considerations
The distributor of our Products is required to provide this manual to the PV system
owners.
The Product is designed to meet the requirements of the IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 stand-
ards.
Perform structural analysis of the roof before installing
Roofit
.solar Products.
Observe all relevant laws, regulations, guidelines, and safety measures when handling
solar modules.
For your safety, do not attempt to work on a rooftop until the necessary safety precau-
tions have been identified and taken. Sufficient protective equipment (e.g., harnesses,
insulated rubber gloves and tools, etc.) is required throughout the installation process.
Roofit
.solar Products can be combined with other components to form a photovoltaic
system. In this case, installation and operating instructions issued for these additional
components must be also followed.
NB!
PV system generates DC electricity when exposed to light and therefore can cause
an electrical shock or burn if not handled properly. PV modules are running on voltage
higher then 30VDC and currents exceeding 30mA, thus all contacts with bare wires with-
out proper safety measures can be dangerous for health. The danger increases when
multiple Products are connected to provide higher system voltage or current levels.
Dangerous voltages can also occur at night or even when the modules are not connected
to an electrical circuit or load.
The Products can only be rendered inoperative by removing them from sunlight, or by
fully covering their front side with a fabric, cardboard, or other completely opaque mate-
rial, or by working with Products face down on a smooth, flat surface.
A PV system can produce a higher output than the rated specifications. Industry standard
ratings are made at STC. Reflection from snow or water can increase sunlight, therefore
boosting current performance and power. In addition, colder temperatures can substan-
tially increase voltage and power. This must be taken into consideration during the sys-
tem design done by a competent person experienced in PV system planning (for more
information see the section Electrical Installation).
