•
Do not step on the module.
•
Make sure that the drainage holes of the PV module are not blocked.
•
Roof penetrations must be properly sealed.
•
Ensure that cables or plugs are not trapped between the module and the substructure.
Electrical installation
General notes
The electrical connection must be carried out by a competent, authorized person/company. The electrical
installation of the PV system must be carried out in accordance with the respective national electrical
regulations or the applicable national regulations.
Safety instructions
•
Exercise extreme caution during all work on the wiring.
•
Observe the safety instructions for all other components used in the PV system.
•
Do not wear metal rings, watch bands, ear, nose or lip rings, or other metal objects during installation
or troubleshooting of photovoltaic systems.
•
Do not install solar modules or wiring with wet male and/or female connectors.
•
A single module can generate DC voltages in excess of 30 V when exposed to light of any intensity.
Contact with a DC voltage of 30 V or more is potentially hazardous. Connecting modules in series or
parallel increases the voltage or electrical current.
•
During installation, completely cover the module with a dark, opaque material to prevent current
generation.
•
Do not install/operate damaged modules, as contact with the surface of the module or frame may
cause electric shock.
•
Do not attempt to repair a module with broken glass or defective back panel.
•
Do not disconnect modules under load to avoid electrical arcing. Contact with electrically active parts
of the modules, can cause burns, sparks and fatal shock, whether the module is connected or not.
•
Do not use the junction box or cables as a handle.
•
Do not use lubricant on the connectors.
•
Do not remove the rubber rings on the junction box or connectors.
•
Do not immerse modules or connectors in liquid.
•
Do not insert electrically conductive objects into the plugs and/or sockets.
•
Do not short-circuit the solar module cables under any circumstances.
•
Ensure correct polarity of the cables.
•
Only use or connect plugs and sockets of the same manufacturer and type.
•
When connecting the plugs, make sure that they are securely connected.
•
Lay cables carefully and protect them from the weather.
•
Avoid cable damage due to sharp edges.
•
Avoid cable damage caused by cable ties that are too tight.
•
Do not fall below the smallest bending radius of the cables.
•
Avoid tensile loads, especially on junction boxes and plug connections.
The cross-sectional area of the cable is 4mm2 or 12AWG. The smallest bending radius of the cables must not
be less than 43mm. Cable damage caused by excessive bending or by the cable management system is not
covered by the warranty.
