Do not place heavy objects on the front or back of the Module or damage the material on 
the front and back of the Module. 

 

The safety of the Module shall be ensured at all times. Avoid excessive vibration that may 
cause hidden cracks in the cells, and prevent the Module from falling directly onto the 
ground during transportation, as it may cause damage to the Module or the cells in the 
Module. 

 

Do not step, stand, or walk on the Module (when designing a system, consider planning 
space or walkways for secure operations that can be used for the installation, operations, 
or maintenance by personnel). 

 

Do not dismantle or modify any components on the Module. 

 

Do  not  make  any  additional  processing  on  the  external  Module  frame  such  as  drilling 
holes or cutting. With the exception of connecting the grounding wire for the Module, do 
not damage or scratch the surface of the frame coating such as the anodic oxide layer on 
the aluminum frame etc. 

 

Do not add any substances onto the surface on the front and back of the Module. 

 

It is forbidden to use a Module with a damaged front or back surface. In addition, prohibit 
personnel from repairing damaged areas on the Module because contact with damaged or 
broken surfaces or the Module frame may cause electric shocks.

The  rated  voltage  and  current  of  the  Module  is  measured  under  standard  testing 
conditions.  Under actual  outdoor  conditions,  the  voltage  and  current  may  exceed  the 
rated value under standard testing conditions (the environment and ambient temperature 
at  the  site  of  the  Module  will  affect  the  electrical  characteristics  of  the  Module;  for 
instance, reflected sunlight from the snow or low temperature (<25°C) would increase 
the  output  in  voltage,  current  or  power).  Therefore,  please  refer  to  the  electrical 
characteristics displayed on the Module and use 125% of the calculated value in the design 
of  the  rated  voltage,  rated  current,  wire,  fuse,  and  controller  specifications  and 
parameters related to the output of the Module. 

 

The Module automatically generates electricity under a light source and it is not equipped 
with any switches or control. Power generation from the Module can be stopped by using 
completely opaque material to cover the Module, moving the Module to a place with no 
light  source,  or  flipping  the  front  of  the  Module  onto  a  flat  area  (do  not  damage  the 
material on the front of the Module). 

 

To prevent the dangers of electric arcs, burns, electrical shocks etc., the light source on 
the front of the Module must be insulated (e.g. by covering with opaque materials) before 
installation of the Module or system maintenance. 

 

Before conducting electrical operations, please remove metal jewelry and objects from 
your body. Be sure to wear appropriate protective equipment and use appropriate and 
dry insulated tools. Do not conduct any operations if the Module or its component is
