  • Page 4: Introduction

    First, thank you for choosing our products. This manual shall only apply to the installation, maintenance and use of the 210 Vertex series solar modules manufactured by Trina Solar Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Trina Solar"). Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in personal injury or property damage.
  • Page 5 Do not stand, sit, walk, or jump directly on the module package or the module itself. The PV module does not contain any serviceable parts. Do not disassemble or move any part of the module. Do not damage or scratch the front- or backside surfaces of the module, as scratches may directly affect the product safety.

  • Page 6: Site Selection And Angle

    The tilt angle of the PV module refers to the angle between the module and the horizontal ground. The tilt angle shall be selected according to the local conditions for different projects. Trina Solar recommends that the mounting tilt angle should not be less than 10° . For specific tilt angles, it shall be chosen in accordance with the local design procedures, specifications and regulations, or following the recommendations of the experienced PV module installers.

  • Page 7: Unload/Transportation/Storage

    Upon arrival of the modules, please check the packaging box is in good condition, and check whether the module type and quantity on the outer packaging are consistent with the delivery order, if anything is wrong, please contact Trina Solar logistics and sales staff immediately. 1. Unloading with a crane When crane is used to unload the modules, please choose and use specialized tooling according to the weight and size of the module.
  • Page 8 Trina Solar User Manual | Vertex Series Modules Please choose a flat and solid ground to place the module package after transportation to the installation site. Forklift operation in warehouse When using a forklift to unload the modules, please choose a forklift with suitable tonnage according to module weight.

  • Page 11 Please use appropriate means of transport to transport the modules. Do not use pedicab to transport or handle the modules. Secondary transport is not allowed for the monofacial modules that are packaged horizontally. There is no stacking of pallets allowed (for both vertical landscape and vertical portrait packages), when transporting with small trucks.

  • Page 12: Unpacking Introduction

    Stacks of modules should contain no more than 16 modules, and the frames should be aligned. For matters regarding the unpacking stand supporter, please contact Trina Solar sales. In windy weather, it is recommended not to carry the modules, and the unpacked modules should be properly secured.

  • Page 13: Unpacking Steps

    Do not stand on the pallet during unpacking, please carry the modules from sides of the pallet. Do not move the stand supporter during unpacking to prevent the modules being tilted. Do not lean the module on any instable objects, such as poles or mounting columns. Do not support the back of the modules directly with materials such as wooden strips.

  • Page 16: Installation Safety

    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.
