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.
SAFETY IN THE WORKING AREA Installation of REC solar panels may involve working on roo ops or raised platforms. Ensure all local regulations regarding working at heights and fall protection are followed. Before beginning work on an installation, ensure all working surfaces are structurally sound and capable of bearing the weight of employees and required equipment.
PANEL HANDLING In order to avoid damage, 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: •...
System Requirements REC solar panels are only for use where they meet the specific technical requirements of the complete system. Ensure other components will not cause mechanical or electrical damage to the panels. Only panels of the same type and power class should be connected.
REC modules must be secured with a torque as shown in the table below (fig. ). Clamp installation must be carried out according to the manufacturer’s instructions, including specific hardware and torque requirements. Ensure the clamps used are suitable for the planned installation and expected system design loads.

For any questions regarding installation on such systems, please contact REC directly. MOUNTING METHODS: MOUNTING HOLES The REC solar panels covered by this manual can be installed utilizing the four mounting holes ( x . mm) on the underside of the panel (fig.
DRAINAGE HOLES On the long and short sides of the REC frame small drainage holes can be found that allow humidity and water to exit the frame easily and minimize damage (fig. ). These are spaced mm from the corner on...
CONNECTIONS AND CONNECTORS The connector type(s) used on REC panels are indicated in the product specifications at the rear of this manual. The connector IP rating is only valid when correctly connected. All connectors and cables must be secure and tight as well as electrically and mechanically sound. UV-resistant cables and connectors approved for outdoor use must be used.
RECYCLING REC makes every effort to ensure panel packaging is kept to a minimum. The paper and cardboard packaging can be recycled and the protective wrapping and panel separating blocks are also recyclable in many areas. Recycle packaging and panels according to local guidelines and regulations.
