to fall protection, ladder or stair and personal protective measures. For your safety, please do not install or handle modules in unsafe conditions including but not limited to strong wind or gust, damp or sandy roofs. 3.4 Electrical Performance Safety PV modules can produce DC current under sunlight.
Please refer to local laws and regulations before installing modules and abide by requirements on building fire protection. According to the corresponding certification standards, the fire rating of LONGi Mono-facial modules is UL type 1or2 or IEC Class C, the fire rating of LONGi bifacial modules is UL type 29 or IEC Class C.
Do not install modules at places that are possible to be flooded. • LONGi suggests that modules be installed in the working environment with the temperature of -40℃ to 40℃ of which is the monthly average highest and lowest temperature of the installation sites. The extreme working environment temperature for modules is -40℃...

DC electric parts. (LONGi modules maximum system voltage is DC1000V/DC1500V---ac- tually system voltage is designed based on the selected module and inverter model.) The correction value of VOC can be calculated by the following formula.
6.4 Bypass diode LONGi solar module junction box contains bypass diode which is in parallel connection with the cell string. If hot spot occurred, the diode will come into operation to stop the main current from flowing through the hot spot cells in order to prevent module over-heated and performance loss.
Grounding In design of modules, the anodized corrosion resistant aluminum alloy frame is applied for rigidity support. For safety consideration and to protect modules from lightning and electrostatic damage, the module frame must be grounded. The grounding device must be in full contact with inner side of the aluminum alloy and penetrate surface oxide film of the frame.
3 The third party grounding devices The third party grounding device can be used for grounding of LONGi modules but such grounding method shall be proved to be reliable. Grounding device shall be operated in line with stipulations of the manufacturer.
Do not use acid and alkaline detergents to clean modules. Do not use tool with rough surface to clean in any case. In order to avoid potential risk of electrical shock or burn, LONGi suggests cleaning the modules during early morning or evening with low irradiance and low modules temperature especially for the hot regions.
