INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.INTRODUCTION
• BEFORE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE, BE SURE TO READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN ORDER TO USE
THE PV MODULES SAFELY.
• FOR INSTALLATIONS IN THE USA, REFER TO THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE (NEC) AND ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES.
FOR INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA, REFER TO THE CANADIAN ELECTRIC CODE (CEC) AND ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES.
• FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
• KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
1. GENERAL USE
• Avoid touching the front surface of the module with bare
hands.
• DO NOT handle except for installation and maintenance.
• Ensure that unauthorised personnel, including children,
are not allowed to access the modules.
2. GENERAL HANDLING
• DO NOT alter or remove any component.
• DO NOT stand or step on the modules.
• DO NOT damage the front or rear surface of the PV
modules. The rear surface can be damaged by sharp
objects.
• DO NOT throw or drop the PV modules.
• DO NOT lift the modules by the connectors or cables.
3. INSTALLATION
• Only licensed professionals should handle the modules.
• Secure yourself to avoid falling from the installation area.
• DO NOT use damaged PV modules.
A damaged PV module may cause fire and/or an
electrical shock resulting in personal injury or even
death.

WARNING
• DO NOT expose the PV modules to artificially
concentrated sunlight.
• Cover the front surfaces of the PV modules with an
opaque cloth to prevent the generation of high voltage
and electric current during installation.
• Securely fasten the PV modules to the mounting
framework to prevent them from falling due to wind or
snow loads. The modules should be installed as
instructed in this installation manual.
• Securely ground the PV module frame and the mounting
framework following local regulations.
• Install a residual current device (RCD) as prescribed by
local regulations.
• DO NOT expose the backside of the module to sunlight.
• DO NOT install the modules in places where they can be
shaded by objects such as buildings or trees.
