INTRODUCTION
-
Before installation, operation and maintenance, be sure to read these instructions and use the PV module
safely.
-
All applicable local codes and the national electrical code should be followed.
-
Failure to observe the following instructions may result in death or personal injury and property damage.
FOR INSTALLATION PERSONNEL
-
Qualified persons familiar with DC and AC circuits should perform the solar module installation.
-
Please read this manual carefully before installing the system and carry out the installation procedures
correctly.
-
This manual does not list all precautions needed for safe work. Be sure to follow OSHA guideline.
-
This manual provides guidelines for installation, but it does not guarantee the quality of installation work.
Please complete all work in a responsible and professional manner. Electrical work should be performed
by a qualified electrician.
WARNING !
This photovoltaic module produces electricity when exposed to the sun or other light sources. The electrical
hazard from the voltage and current of a single module is low. However, the voltage increases as modules are
connected in series and the available current increases as modules are connected in parallel. Thus, for a
module connected within a system, contact with electrically active parts of the module such as terminals can
result in lethal shock, sparks, and burns. The only way to eliminate this hazard is to prevent exposure of the
module(s) to light.
WORK SAFETY
-
Never step or sit on the glass surface of a solar module. The glass may break,
resulting in shock or bodily injury. The module may also stop generating
power.
-
Keep the backside of solar module surfaces free of foreign objects.
-
Do not lay modules on rocky or uneven surfaces during assembly use
recommended tools for handling (e.g. Suction Lifter).
