Do not
allow children or unauthorized
persons near the installation site or
module storage area.
Do not
install modules in strong wind.
Use electrically insulated tools to reduce the risk of
electric shock.
If the disconnects and over current protection devices
(OCPDs) cannot be opened or the inverter cannot be
powered down, cover the fronts of the modules in the
PV array with an opaque material to stop the
production of electricity when installing or working on
a module or wiring.
Do not
use or install damaged modules
Contact with module surfaces or frames may cause
electric shock if the front glass is broken or the
backsheet is torn.
The PV module does not contain any serviceable parts.
Do not attempt to repair any part of the module.
Keep the junction box cover closed at all times.
Do not
disassemble a module or remove any module
part.
Do not
artificially concentrate sunlight on a module.
Do not
connect or disconnect modules when current
from the modules or an external source is present.
2.1 INFORMATION PURSUANT TO ART. 33 OF
THE REACH REGULATION
Pursuant to Art. 33 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December
2006
concerning
the
Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH),
establishing a European Chemicals Agency, amending
Directive 1999/45/EC and repealing Council Regulation
(EEC) No 793/93 and Commission Regulation (EC) No
1488/94 as well as Council Directive 76/769/EEC and
Commission Directives 91/155/EEC, 93/67/EEC, 93/105/EC
and 2000/21/EC (the "REACH Regulation"), we inform you
that our solar modules contain a Substance of Very High
Concern ("SVHC") in a concentration above 0.1 % (weight
by weight).

Evaluation,
The copper ribbons used in our solar modules to
interconnect solar cells use a thin solder coating layer that
contains lead (CAS no. 7439-92-1).
Under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of
use, exposure to the lead that is contained in our solar
modules can be excluded. However, a release of, and
exposure to, lead can take place (i) when the different
components of the solar modules are disassembled, in
particular for recycling purposes, and (ii) in instances of
fire. Lead may damage fertility or the unborn child, causes
damage to organs through prolonged or repeated
exposure, is very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting
effects, may cause cancer, is very toxic to aquatic life, and
may cause harm to breast-fed children.
Therefore, recycling and all other types of comparable
disassembly of the solar modules have to be performed
by
a
qualified
waste
compliance with national and local waste management
regulations.
In the instance of fire, please keep away from the fire, and
call the local fire brigade.
3.0 MECHANICAL / ELECTRICAL
SPECIFICATIONS
Module electrical ratings are measured under Standard
Test Conditions (STC) of 1000 W/m
AM1.5 spectrum, and a cell temperature of 25°C. Detailed
electrical and mechanical characteristics of Canadian
Solar crystalline silicon PV modules can be found in Annex
A (Module Specifications) on www.csisolar.com. Main
electrical characteristics at STC are also stated on each
module label. Please refer to the datasheet or the product
nameplate for the maximum system voltage.
Under certain conditions, a module may produce more
current or voltage than its Standard Test Conditions rated
power. As a result, the module short-circuit current under
STC should be multiplied by 1.25, and a correction factor
should be applied to the open-circuit voltage (see Table 1
below), when determining component ratings and
capacities. Depending on your local regulations, an
additional 1.25 multiplier for the short-circuit current
(giving a total multiplier of 1.56) may be applicable when
sizing conductors and fuses.
