This does not apply to damages due to a panel fault, in cases of loss of life, bodily injury or damage to health or in the event of a grossly negligent breach of obligations on the part of REC SOLaR PTE. LTD. and/or in the event of an intentional or grossly negligent breach of obligations by a legal representative or vicarious agent. -
Page 4: Safety Measures
PaNEl HaNdliNg In order to avoid damage to the solar cells and other components, all REC solar panels should be handled with care and protected from damage at all times. all warnings and instructions on the packaging should be observed. Follow these guidelines when unpacking, transporting, carrying, installing or storing panels: •... -

The solar panels must not be exposed to artificially concentrated light. ENviroNMENtal faCtors REC solar panels are designed to provide decades of durable and stable output in installations up to 2000 m above sea level. ambient operating temperatures must be between -40° and +85°C. -
Page 6: Panel Installation
PaNEL INSTaLLaTION REC solar panels are designed for capturing solar radiation and are not suitable for use as overhead or vertical glazing. The IP rating of the junction box provides a level of protection that allows panels to be mounted in any orientation (see product technical specifications for exact rating). -

Page 9: Mounting Methods: Slide In Systems
MouNtiNg MEtHods: MouNtiNg HolEs REC N-Peak panels can be mounted utilizing the four elongated holes (11 x 6.6 mm) on the underside of the panel at a distance of 382.5 mm from the corner (fig. 6) in conjunction with a device, e.g., screws, lockbolts or structural blind fasteners, with specifications suitable for the installation (fig. 7). -
Page 10: Drainage Holes
HolEs Each corner of the REC panel frame has small drainage holes spaced 55 mm from the corner of the panel frame that allow water caused by rain, condensation, snow melt, cleaning or any other process to exit the frame easily and minimize damage caused by freezing and thawing (fig. 9). These holes must not be used for mounting the panel, and they must not be covered by any part of the mounting structure. -
Page 11: Connections And Connectors
CONNECTIONS aND CONNECTORS The connector type(s) used on REC solar panels are indicated in the product specifications at the rear of this manual. The connector IP rating is only valid when they are correctly connected. all connectors and cables must be secure and tight as well as electrically and mechanically sound. -
Page 12: Maintenance
The majority of the panel components can be recycled. For installations in the European Union, REC solar panels are subject to WEEE regulations. The symbol in fig. 12 as found on the label on the rear of the panel indicates that this product shall not be treated as household waste and must be disposed of at an appropriate collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. -
