(DC) power source, designed to operate e iciently in sunlight. The Perlight Integrated Roof Tile (IRT) can be used directly as a roof tile and can cut roofing costs by reducing the number of traditional roof tiles needed. The design of Perlight IRT is di erent from other BIPV designs in the industry.
Do not touch live terminals with bare hands. Use insulated tools for electrical connections. Each Perlight Solar module has a pair of male and female waterproof connectors. For a series electrical connection, connect positive (+) connector of first solar module to negative (-) connector of the following module.
Before installing your system, contact local authorities to determine the necessary permit, installation and inspection requirements. 6. Climate Conditions Install the Perlight Solar PV modules in the following conditions: • Ambient temperature: -20°C to +40°C. • Operating temperature: -40°C to +85°C.

Also, check to ensure the mounting hardware is tight and secure. Loose connections will result in damage to the array. Changed Perlight Solar modules must be of the same kind and type. Do not touch live parts of cables and connectors. Use appropriate safety equipment when working (insulated tools, insulating gloves, etc.).
End of Life Disposal and Recycling Perlight solar modules are designed to produce electricity for a minimum of 25 years, however the panels may continue to o er useful energy for years to come after this point. Once the panels reach the end of their useful life, they should be recycled in accordance with local guidelines and regulations.
