Technical characteristics The technical characteristics of the DualSun panels can be found in the technical sheets published in our - online library 2.2. General recommendations 2.2.1. Handling DualSun modules should be handled like any glass product. To avoid accidents, injuries, or damage to the module during work, the following precautions must always be observed: •...
DualSun suggests installing the modules in areas where the temperatures are between -20 ° C and + 50 ° C, which corresponds to the minimum and maximum monthly average temperatures, in accordance with IEC 60364-5-51.
2.3.6. Protection against fire / explosion Do not install the DualSun modules in the vicinity of highly flammable gases, vapours, or dust (e.g., next to a gas station or containers). The national and local fire prevention standards and regulations must be respected during installation.
DualSun panels can be installed both in portrait and in landscape. DualSun does not provide the mounting system for fastening the modules on the roof: please refer to the instal- lation instructions of the chosen mounting system, to install the modules whether for an integrated or for a su- perimposed installation, in landscape or portrait.

Never open the junction box The junction box of the DualSun module contains bypass diodes which are in parallel connection with the cell wires. If a hot spot occurs locally on one or more cells, the diode will enter into service to prevent the main current from flowing through the hot cells in order to limit overheating and loss of performance of the module.
It is imperative to refer to the local reg- ulations in force to comply with specific requirements DualSun modules must be grounded with prongs, lugs or other suitable means. Grounding can be done through the holes made for this purpose as part of each module.
