PLEASE COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SAFETY MEASURES:
● Ensure safe installation of all electrical aspects of the array. All electrical installation and
procedures should be conducted by a licensed and bonded electrician or solar contractor.
Routine maintenance of a module or panel shall not involve breaking or disturbing the bonding
path of the system. All work must comply with national, state and local installation procedures,
product and safety standards.
● Comply with all applicable local, state and federal building and fire codes, as in effect from
time to time.
● Ensure all products are appropriate for the installation environment, and array under the site's
loading conditions.
● Use only Blikir parts or parts recommended by Blikir.
● Review the Engineering Package and Certification Letters to confirm design specifications.
● Ensure the accuracy of all information provided.
● Validate foundation parameters prior to installation.
required to assess ground conditions. Blikir recommends consulting with a local engineer
familiar with local regulations and build site requirements, including soil conditions, terrain and
load criteria. All parameters may impact foundation requirements.
● Ensure bare copper grounding wire does not contact aluminum and zinc-plated steel
components, to prevent risk of galvanic corrosion.
● The Blikir carports and canopies are made of galvanized steel and spray painted with
protective and marine coating. This process ensures your carport or canopy will have teh
longest possible life expectancy. Do not drill or cut the steel components, that will expose the
steel and cause corrosion and void the warranty. Also, drilling or cutting the steel might
compromise the structure strength.
● If loose components or loose fasteners are found during periodic inspection, re-tighten
immediately. If corrosion is found, replace affected components immediately.
● Provide an appropriate method of direct-to-earth grounding according to the latest edition of
the National Electrical Code, including NEC 250: Grounding and Bonding, and NEC 690: Solar
Photovoltaic Systems.
● Disconnect AC power before servicing or removing modules, AC modules, inverters,
microinverters, Rapid Shutdown Devices (RSD) and power optimizers.
● Review module, inverter, Rapid Shutdown Device (RSD), racking (and any other components
that are not manufactured by Blikir) manufacturer's documentation for compatibility and
compliance with warranty terms and conditions.
● Conform to STD UL 2703 (2015) Standard for Safety First Edition: Mounting Systems,
Mounting Devices, Clamping/Retention Devices, and Ground Lugs for Use with Flat-Plate
Photovoltaic Modules and Panels.
