    The fire rating of Trina Solar modules complies with relevant standards or local laws and regulations. Before installation, please carefully check the modules for abnormalities such as glass bursts, cell cracks, backsheet scratches, deformation of installation holes, broken junction boxes or missing covers, nameplates falling off or missing, and broken cables or connectors, etc.
  • Page 19 Do not install modules under rain, snow or windy conditions. If installing or operate modules after rain or in the morning dew, appropriate protective measures need to be taken to prevent water vapor from penetrating into the connector. Do not allow unauthorized persons to access the installation area. When installing with scaffolding, make sure that the scaffolding is in a stable position or with anti- dumping measures, and that the installer should wear a safety belt in accordance with local building codes.
