1. Introduction Observe all required local, regional Congratulations on the purchase of your high-efficiency and national (safety) regulations and photovoltaic module (hereinafter referred to as PV module) ordinances, as well as all technical, from Meyer Burger Industries (hereinafter referred to as MBI). electrical and structural standards when Meyer Burger PV modules offer particularly sustainable and designing and installing the PV system. climate-friendly energy production, as no greenhouse gases Occupational safety regulations must be are produced in the solar cells during power generation. observed and occupational health and MBI strives for sustainable production of PV modules. safety must be guaranteed at all times. This is why MBI focuses from the very start on high-quality materials, resource-conserving production processes, maximum recyclability in the sense of the circular economy, reliable and transparent supply chains and optimised transport A photovoltaic module is an electrical routes. MBI PV modules enable environmentally friendly product. There is a risk of electric shock conversion of solar energy directly into electrical energy in the event of incorrect handling and indefinitely and for several decades. -
