Since the customs will conduct random inspections of import and export goods, the implementation of the above recommendation can enable both parties to quickly and effectively discover and resolve the discrepancy between before shipment and after arrival. Precautions and general safety The modules should be stored in the original package before installation, avoid any object collision with the package box.

3.2-2 3.2-1 Use a forklift to remove the module Use the correct (as picture) lifting fixture to pallets from the truck handle, no more than 2 pallets per lift. Before lifting, please confirm the tray and the carton are NOT damaged and the hoisting rope is firm and solid.
Second transportation and precautions 3.3-2 3.3-1 The finished package can be Do not remove the original packaging if the transported by land, sea or air. modules require long-distance transport or During transport, make sure that the long-term storage. package is fixed securely to the shipping platform without movement.
3.4 Storage Keep the outer packaging intact, and the storage area should prevent the pallet and ● packaging box from moisture, direct sunlight, and take precautions of waterproof (rain) measures. Do NOT remove the original packaging if the module requires long-distance transport or ●...

Wear protective gloves during unpacking to avoid hand injury and fingerprints on the glass ● surface. Each module shall be handled by 2 people, it is forbidden to pull the junction box under any ● circumstances; When take the module out of the carton, pulling on the short side frame. Before unpacking, please check the product type, power bins, serial number and relevant ●...
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. ●...
5.Taking out the modules in turn-- 6.Cut the remaining packing straps-- Carefully remove the modules according to the direction shown (no more than one piece at most), When the remaining modules are covered by it needs two persons to work at the same time, and the uncut packing straps, the two people hold do not damage other modules and cartons.
3. Remove the top cover on the carton and lift Two people hold the modules to the carton to remove the enclosure. prevent them from tipping. One person cuts the internal strapping belts. Two workers then push the modules tenderly to lean them against the solid support and remove the modules from the first one outside to the last one inside in sequence.

Leave the single box about 15~20 Cut off all the horizontal packing cm to solid support, such as wall, rack straps. or unpacked module box of the same type. When there are two vertical straps 6. Take out the modules in order as shown remaining, push the module gently below, (two people are required to work at the same time).
IEC61701 , If the modules are placed in an environment of salt fog (i.e., marine environment) or sulfur (i.e., sulfur sources, volcanoes, etc.), there is a risk of corrosion. Renesola modules can be installed ≥50m away from the ocean side, must take stainless steel ●...
ReneSola suggests that tilt angle of module installation be no less than 10° , because the tempered glass on the surface adopts ultra-hydrophilic self-cleaning coating techniques , so module surface dust can be washed away easily by rainfall, and it is easy for accumulated water to flow away physically and avoid water mark on the glass surface which may further affect module appearance and performance.

The cable length of junction box shall be selected according to the installation mode. When ● wiring, the ties for fixing the cables coils shall be removed. The cable shall be fixed on the installation system (frame or bracket, guide rail) with UV resistant cable ties, in cable conduits or wire cards to avoid direct sunlight or immersion in water and mechanical damage of the cable;...
The modules must be installed according to the following examples and recommendations. If alternative installation methods are used, please consult ReneSola and obtain permission from ReneSola, otherwise the module will not continue to have a valid warranty. Installation in array, the minimum distance between two modules is 10mm.
Page 20
The details are shown in the following figure. To maximize mounting longevity, Renesola strongly recommends the use of corrosion proof attachment hardware.
Page 21
The screw should be fixed at the following locations for different installation methods and mechanical loads. Mounting rails run parallel to the short side Mounting rails run parallel to the long side frame (Keep a safety clearance between frame. mounting rail and backside of the module) Distance between mounting holes is Distance between mounting holes is 1400/1300/1360/1100mm...

To maximize the service life of components, ReneSola strongly recommends the use of corrosion-resistant mounting fixings.
Page 23
Two clamps on each long side (longitudinal) or each short side (transverse) can be mounted, ReneSola recommends prioritizing the option of installing two clamps on each long side of the module, so that the module will have a greater load.
Page 24
Use 4 clamps on the long side. Mounting rails Use 4 clamps on the long side. Mounting rails run perpendicular to the long side frame. A run parallel to the long side frame. = (350~500) mm A= (350~450) mm Mechanical load:Front side≤5400pa Mechanical load:Front side≤3600pa Rear side≤2400pa Rear side≤2400pa...
Grounding methods below are permissible. Grounding by grounding clamp Renesola framed modules have grounding holes with the diameter of Ø4 mm at the edge location of module's back-side long-side frame. And the grounding holes are identified with typical grounding symbol according to IEC61730-1 standard.
Bolt grounding method The third-party grounding devices The third-party grounding device can be used for grounding of Renesola modules but such grounding method shall be proved to be reliable. Grounding device shall be operated in line with stipulations of the manufacturer.
Page 27
The number of modules that can be connected shall be determined by a qualified institution or person in accordance with the design specifications of the photovoltaic system and the local electrical design specifications. The calculation formula recommended by Renesola shall be for reference only.

(Renesola modules maximum system voltage is DC1000V/DC1500V---actually system voltage is designed based on the selected module and inverter model.) All instructions above have to be obeyed to maintain Renesola’s limited warranty. Series connection, parallel connection Connecting in parallel after connected in series...
Choose inverters with isolation transformers in hot and wet areas (such as shores, wetlands), to ensure proper module function under positive voltage. ReneSola PV modules pass the most rigorous PID tests before delivery, and the negative electrode of the module usually does not need to be grounded, so it is compatible with isolated (with transformer) or non-isolated inverters.
8.Operation and maintenance It is the users’ responsibility to carry out regular inspection and maintenance for modules, especially during the period of limited warranty. To inform the Renesola customer service personnel within two weeks when modules are found broken or other significant abnormality.

Notes: Clean PV modules when the irradiance is below 200W/m2; liquid with a large ● temperature difference from the modules must not be used for cleaning the modules; Do not clean PV modules under the weather conditions of wind more than 4 grades, ●...
Please make sure that the array has been disconnected from other active components ● before starting the cleaning. Wear suitable protective clothing (clothes, insulating gloves, etc.) when cleaning the ● modules. Do not immerse the module, partially or totally, in water or any other cleaning ●...
The recommended maximum water pressure is 4 MPa (40 bar) Method B: Compressed Air Renesola recommends using this method to clean the soft dirt (like dust) on modules. This technique can be applied as long as the method is efficient enough to clean the modules considering the on-site conditions.
