The solar module is a glass product and should be handled with appropriate
care. Do not stand on the solar module. Do not allow any objects to fall or place
any objects on the solar module, as it can cause microcracks in the cells. The
rear side in particular must be protected from scratches and similar. Never hold
or transport the solar module by the junction box or connection cables. For in-
stallation SOLARWATT strongly recommends the usage of clean, fat and silicone
oil free gloves!
Do not remove any parts or name-
plates from the solar module. Do not
install damaged solar modules.
SOLARWATT solar modules are made from high-quality ma-
terials and are therefore extremely stable and long-lasting.
This means that, together with the environmentally-friendly,
resource-saving QUICKSTAXX® packaging solution, safe
transportation (tested in accordance with ISTA 3E) and easy
commissioning are guaranteed. The solar modules should
nevertheless be left in the packaging until installation to
help prevent any damage. The modules should be stored in a
dry place and protected from weather conditions. The packag-
ing (film, tape, pallet, etc.) should be recycled. Contact the
responsible local waste disposal company.
The fully biodegradable QUICKSTAXX® packaging edges can
be disposed of as household waste or in a suitable compost
system. Further information is available in the SOLARWATT
product information "Packaging" at www.solarwatt.de.

You are responsible for checking the goods and packag-
ing for transport damage immediately on receipt. If any
damage is discovered, note it on the shipping papers
describing each pallet in detail, and take photographs
as documentary evidence. Have the driver countersign
these notes. If more than ten solar modules on one
pallet are damaged, refuse to accept the pallet. Please
fill out the "Transport Damage Complaint Notification"
form (www.solarwatt.de) and return it to SOLARWATT
GmbH.
instAllAtiOn
During installation, please take into account the locally valid
construction regulations, accident prevention regulations,
the relevant, generally accepted rules of technology and
safety regulations for working on roofs and buildings, as well
as electrical installations.
SOLARWATT solar modules must be fixed to suitable substruc-
tures, which are designed for the relevant mechanical wind
and snow loads, as well as the weight of the solar modules.
The instructions from the installation system manufacturer
must also be complied with. No mechanical stresses from the
actual building (e.g., roof truss) must be transferred to the
solar module. Have the structural suitability of the building
for the installation of a solar power system checked by a
specialist. The frame must not be mechanically or chemically
processed.
During installation, avoid creating shades with the module
clips or installation system to improve the energy yield.
Comply with the minimum distance of 5 mm between the
solar modules to allow the material to expand without
tension. SOLARWATT BLUE Line solar modules fulfill all the
requirements of the extended test standard IEC 61215 Ed.2,
