Page 5: Safety Instructions
3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS DANGER! Danger due to electric shock! A solar module generates electricity and voltage even at a low intensity of illumination. Arc- ing can occur when contacts in a live electrical circuit are physically disconnected. This can result in grave or mortal injury. -
Page 6: Area Of Usage And Installation Location
4 AREA OF USAGE AND INSTALLATION LOCATION INSTALLATION • The modules are certified according to the norm IEC 61646 for safe operation in moderate LOCATION climates. • The permitted module temperatures lie between -40 °C and +85 °C. Please ensure that adequate ventilation exists below the module so that elevated module temperatures can be avoided. -

5.2 MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY - UNFRAMED MODULES CLAMP SYSTEMS Only install clamp systems approved by Q-Cells. Failure to do so will void the warranty. A list of released clamp systems can be furnished upon request to Q-Cells. Upon request, Q-Cells can test clamp systems and release them for use upon successful test- ing. -

5.4 ELECTRICAL LAYOUT YOU CAN FIND THE DETAILED ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS IN THE PRODUCT DATA SHEET. MODULE SELECTION Only connect modules of the same type and the same power class. This is the only way to achieve optimal yields. SAFETY FACTOR It may occur during normal operation that the module provides a greater current and / or a higher voltage than that determined under standardized test conditions. - Page 13 INVERTER The choice of inverter depends on the country of the installation (see table 1): • in countries where functional grounding is required: inverter with galvanically isolated transformers must be used • in countries where functional is not required: inverters with our without transformers can be used.

Page 15: Cleaning And Maintenance
7 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Q-Cells CIGS modules are built to last and require minimal maintenance. Light dirt is typically washed away by rain. However, precipitation may not adequately clear more stubborn grime (i.e. pollen, vegetation, bird droppings, etc.). Such contamination which shades the active area of the module can lead to a reduction in its performance. -
