AM1.5 spectrum, and a cell temperature of 25℃. Detailed electrical and mechanical characteristics of Sunova Solar crystalline silicon PV modules can be found in datasheets. The main electrical characteristics at STC are also stated on each module label. Please refer to the datasheet or the product nameplate for the maximum system voltage.
4. STORAGE, TRANSPORTATION AND DISMANTLING Precautions and general safety rules: The modules should be stored in the original Sunova Solar package before installation. Protect the package from damage. Unpack the modules as per the recommended unpacking procedures. The whole process of unpacking, transport and storing should be handled with care.
4.1.5 4.1.6 Do NOT step on the package and module The carton can be recycled 4.1.7 4.1.8 Modules shall be stacked as required, One module shall be handled by at least two not exceeding the maximum number of persons together layers printed on the outer packaging.
4.2.3 4.2.4 Store the module in a dry and ventilated place. Do not stack the modules at the project site 4.2.5 Cover all of parts of the package with waterproof material to prevent the panel package and plate from moisture. 4.3 SECONDARY TRANSPORT AND WARNING 4.3.1 4.3.2...
The module must be installed as soon as possible in the project site and must not be exposed to rain or damp. Sunova Solar shall not be responsible for any damage or collapse of the modules caused by moisture in the packaging.
4.5 UNPACKING INTRODUCTION For unpacking outdoors, it is prohibited to operate in rainy conditions. Because the carton will become soft and damaged after it gets wet in the rain. The stacked PV modules (hereinafter referred to as "modules") may tip over, which may cause damage or injury to personnel. For a windy site, it is necessary to pay special attention to safety.
