10. Follow all safety precautions of other 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 INSTALLATION MANUAL Rev. K VALID IN NORTH AMERICA ONLY module. Broken or damaged modules must not be used and must be handled carefully and disposed properly since the broken glass can be sharp and cause bodily injury if not handled with the appropriate protective equipment, and contact with any surface or the frame of the broken module can result in electrical shock.
- Page 6 Do not install modules near equipment or locations where flammable gases can be generated or collected. Grape Solar recommends using components such as earth ground fault circuit breakers, fuses and circuit breakers in the PV system for fire prevention. 1305 S.

Page 7: Module Installation
MODULE INSTALLATION 1. Installation Site Selection The site for PV module installation shall have environment temperature within Grape Solar’s PV module operating temperature range -40° C to +80° C (-40° F to +176° 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 wires and Multi-Contact® Type-3 or Type-4 quick connectors with locking safety clip. Once connected, the connector requires the use of a special tool to disconnect module-to-module connections.

PV modules can be mounted to the structure by the following methods: 5.9.1 Frame Holes: Secure the module to the structure using the mounting holes. There are 8 mounting holes in the frame of the module and they have been evaluated by UL for mounting.
- Page 11 IV. MAINTANIENCE 1. No routine maintenance is required. 2. Grape Solar recommends that periodic inspection of the PV system for tight electrical and mechanical connection and free of corrosion should be performed. 3. 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.
