10. Follow all safety precautions of other equipment and components used in the PV system. 11. Retain this manual for future reference. 12. Grape Solar recommends that the customer makes a note of the serial numbers of modules in order to keep a record of the system. -
Page 4: Safety Precautions
Do not disassemble, modify or adapt the module such as drilling holes in the frame or glass. Do not apply paint or adhesive to the module rear surface. Do not remove any part or labeling installed by Grape Solar from the module. Doing so will void the module warranty. - Page 5 PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES SAFETY AND INST ALLATION MANUAL Rev. P VALID IN NORTH AMERICA ONLY 2.10 Do not leave a module unsupported or unsecured. 2.11 There are no user serviceable parts within the module. Do not attempt to repair any part of the module.

Page 7: Module Installation
MODULE INSTALLATION 1. Installation Site Selection The site for PV module installation shall have an environment temperature within Grape Solar’s PV module operating temperature range -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F). The site shall allow all modules to be exposed to sunlight without obstruction all year round (shadows generated by trees or buildings, even partial shading, on the module array will result in reduction of PV system yield). - Page 8 To prevent untrained personnel from disconnecting the modules when under load, which may cause serious bodily injury or death, all Grape Solar PV modules are equipped with factory- installed PV wires and MC-4-comparable connectors with locking safety clips. Once connected, the connector requires the use of a special tool to disconnect module-to-module connections.
- Page 9 PV system installation must be integrated in the lightning protection system. Each PV module has 2 holes on back frame with grounding sign . Grape Solar recommends the following three methods of grounding the module frame: 4.3.1 Facing the back of the module, attach an ILSCO GBL-4DBT ground lug to either grounding hole at the back of the module.

Page 11: Maintenance
IV. MAINTENANCE No routine maintenance is required. Grape Solar recommends that periodic inspection of the PV system for tight electrical and mechanical connection and free of corrosion should be performed. Periodic cleaning of modules is not required, but is recommended, as periodic cleaning can result in better performance of the PV system, especially in regions with low levels of annual precipitation. -
