2.1 General Safety
2.1.1 Consult and follow local codes and other applicable laws concerning requiredpermitting as
well as installation & inspection requirements, rules, and regulations.
2.1.2 PV modules should be installed and maintained by qualified personnel.
2.1.3 Use the same performance modules within a given series.
2.1.4 Follow all safety precautions of all components used in the system.
2.1.5 Do not shade portions of the PV module surface from the sun for a long period of time.
The shaded cell may become hot (hot spot phenomenon), which can result in solder joints
peeling off.
2.1.6 Do not clean the glass surface with chemicals.
2.1.7 Do not drop the PV module or drop objects onto the PV module.
2.1.8 Do not concentrate sunlight on the modules or panels.
2.1.9 Do not attempt to disassemble the modules, and do not remove any attached components
from the modules.
2.1.10 Do not scratch or hit at the back sheet, the glass, the terminal box. Do not pull the cables
or touch them with bare hands.

2.1.12 Keep the PV module packed in the carton until installation.
2.1.13 Do not use modules near equipment or in places where flammable gases may be
generated.
2.1.14 Do not use modules in an environment with aliphatic, aromatic, phenols, ketones,
halogenated substance or mineral oil, which may corrode the junction box by chemical
attack.
2.2 Installation Safety
2.2.1 Wear protective head gear, insulating gloves, safety shoes, and insulated tools when
installing the modules.
2.2.2 Do not install the modules in rain, snow, or otherwise wet or windy conditions.
2.2.3 Completely cover the PV module surface with an opaque material during PV module
installation and wiring to prevent accidental charge buildup.
2.2.4 Plug in connectors tightly when working on wiring.
2.2.5 Due to the risk of electrical shock, do not perform any work if the terminals of PV module
are wet.
