system voltage. Voltage is proportional to the number of PV modules in series and is 

affected by weather conditions. 

 

Do not connect the PV modules directly to the loads such as motor since the variation 

of  the  output  power  depending  on  the  solar  irradiation  cause  damage  for  the 

connected motor. 

1:In the case of a blushless motor, the lock function becomes active and the hall 

IC is most likely to be damaged. 

2:In the case of a brush type motor, the coil is most likely to be damaged.

Precaution for unpacking, handling & storage 

The  handling  of  modules  requires  great  diligence.  Therefore,  caution  is  required  while 

unpacking, transporting and temporarily storing these modules. 

 

Unpack module pallet with extreme care. Be careful while unpacking, transporting and 

storing the modules. Avoid module mishandling during unloading. 

 

When carrying a bigger module, two or more people should carry it by its frame and 

wear non-slip gloves (to avoid injury by a slipping module, cuts by the edge of a frame 

etc.  Do  not  leave  the  module  unsupported  or  unsecured  prior  to  installation.  For 

example, wind can cause a module which is leaning against a fence to fall and break. 

Avoid application of excessive bending or twisting forces to the module, it may cause 

severe micro- cracks at the cell level, which in turn may compromise module reliability. 

 

A module with broken glass or torn back sheet cannot be repaired and must not be 

used since contact with any module surface or the frame can produce electrical shock. 

 

Broken  or  damaged  modules  must  be  handled  carefully  and  disposed  of  properly. 

Broken  glass  can  be  sharp  and  can  cause  injury  if  not  handled  with  appropriate 

protective equipment. 

 

Store  modules  in  a  dry  and  ventilated  room.  Do  not  place  modules  on  an  uneven 

surface .Do not place excessive loads on the module or twist the module frame, it may 

cause severe micro-cracks at  the cell  level, which in turn may  compromise module 

reliability. 

 

Do not stand, step, walk and/or jump on the module. Do not drop or place objects on 

the modules (such as tools.) 

 

Do not mark the modules with sharp instrument. Particularly attention should be taken 

to avoid module back sheet to come in contact with sharp objects, as scratches may 

directly affect product safety.
