To avoid electric shock, fire, and injury, do not touch terminals while a panel is exposed to. Provide
suitable guards to prevent direct contact with the solar panel output terminals. (Such as insulated
tools and gloves).
To avoid electric shock, fire, and injury, Avoid dropping or allowing objects to fall on panels.
To avoid electric shock, fire, and injury, should not be allowed near the installation of solar panels.
To avoid electric shock, fire, and injury, do not puncture or damage the back or front sheet of a panel.
To avoid electric shock, fire, and injury, do not disassemble the panel, or remove any part installed by
the manufacturer.
To avoid electric shock, fire, and injury, do not use or install broken panels.
Do not expose solar panels to mirrors, lenses or other forms of sunlight concentration or light
enhancement.
Under normal conditions, a solar panel is likely to experience conditions that produce more current
and/or voltage than reported at standard test conditions. Accordingly, the values of Isc and Voc
marked on this panel should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage
ratings, conductor current ratings, fuse sizes, and size of controls connected to the solar output.
Although solar panels will produce some electricity in the shade, it is always best to install panels
where there is less shade and more exposure to direct sunlight.
3. General Precautions
3-1 General Safety Precautions
Turn off inverters and circuit breakers immediately, when a problem occurs.
Cover all panels in the panel array with an opaque cloth or material before making or breaking
electrical connections.
To avoid electric shock, fire, and injury, do not install the panel where flammable gases or vapors are
present. As sparks may occur.
If maintenance is necessary.
3-2 General Handling Precautions
Remove all metallic jewelry prior to installing our panels to reduce the chance of accidental exposure
to live circuits.
Use insulated tools to reduce your risk of electric shock.
Do not pull the output cable excessively. The output cable connection may become loose and cause a
short circuit, open circuit or shock.
Do not scratch or hit the back sheet or front sheet to avoid damage.
Do not strongly rub the plastic surface of the panel because there is a possibility of the plastic film
getting torn therefore causing an electric shock.
