Photonic Universe EFLX series Handling And Fitting Manual

Semi-flexible solar panels (EFLX series)
HANDLING AND FITTING MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing this product. The following guidelines apply only to EFLX series
semi-flexible solar panels with ETFE coating and back-contact solar cells. This manual
should not be used for any other solar panel of a different series, material or solar cell
type.
Any work should follow the required safety standards and applicable regulations. The
product should be handled and installed by professionals or appropriately qualified
persons. Suitable precautions and safety measures should be taken in all cases.
I. Delivery
Please remember to examine the condition of the box(es) containing the solar panel(s)
immediately upon delivery. If you notice that the package has incurred any form of
damage; i.e. it is deformed, punctured, torn, stained etc, you must sign for the delivery as
"damaged". This will be essential to the post-incident investigation with the courier, in the
case that the contents of the box are also damaged.
Place the box containing the solar panel on a flat level surface, and open it carefully,
without removing the solar panel from the foam packaging. Examine the surface of the
solar panel and the condition of each black solar cell for any signs of damage (creases
or cracks in the solar cell). Keep the solar panel flat in the packaging while performing
this visual inspection. Do not put any pressure on the solar panel (i.e. do not press down
on the solar panel with your hands when checking for damage). Slight discolouration of
solar cells or remnants of glue on top of the surface are permissible and are not classed
as damage, as neither of these factors will affect the performance of the solar panel.
If you detect any cracks in the solar cells or creases in the plastic surface coating, along
with corresponding damage to the carton box, please contact your supplier immediately
with photographic evidence for assessment.
Before removing the solar panel from its packaging, please check the dimensions and
confirm that the solar panel fits in the required space.
