PRODUCT PRECAUTION
Do not attempt to disassemble the modules.
Do not remove any attached nameplates or components from the modules.
Do not open the junction box under any circumstances.
Only carry out modifications to the modules that have been confirmed by Talesun in
writing in advance.
Do not carry out any extra drilling (e.g. for fasteners) on the modules.
Use only insulated tools that are approved for work on electrical installations.
Do not use light concentrators (e.g. mirrors or lenses) to attempt to increase the capacity of the module. The module
may be damaged. This also voids the warranty.
2.3
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE SAFETY GUIDELINES
Inappropriate transport and installation may break the module. To prevent damage of the modules:
Transport the modules in their original packaging until installation.
Store the modules securely in cool and dry rooms. The packaging is not weather-resistant!
Protect the modules against scratches and other damage, especially from impact at the edges or improper storage.
Ensure modules do not bow under their own weight.
Do not rest a module unprotected on its edges. This can damage the module and the frame.
Do not lift or move the modules using the cables or at the junction box under any circumstances!
Do not set the modules down hard on any surface.
Do not subject the module surfaces to mechanical stress.
Do not stand on the modules.
Do not drop or place objects on the modules.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
3.1
SELECTING THE LOCATION
The modules are certified according to the norm IEC 61215 and others for safe operation in moderate climates. The
operator needs to consider the effect of the high altitude on the operation of the module, when the modules are
installed at high altitude.
Do not expose the modules to chemicals.
Do not place the modules in standing water. The junction box is splash-proof only.
Do not install the modules near flammable gases and vapors (e.g. gas containers) or near open flames and flammable
materials. Solar modules are not explosion-proof operating equipment.
If there is exposure to salt (i.e., marine environments) and sulfur (i.e., sulfur sources, volcanoes), there is a risk of
corrosion.
A module is considered shade-free when it is entirely unshaded throughout the year (e.g. by buildings, chimneys,
trees). Even partial shading of the modules (e.g. by overhead lines, dirt, snow) should be avoided.
3.2
SELECTING THE PROPER SUPPORTING FRAME
Always observe the instructions and safety precautions included with the support frames to be used with the modules.
