Safety instructions
Solar modules generate electricity as soon as they are exposed to light. The voltage of a single module is less
than 50VDC. When several modules are connected in series, the summed voltage can be dangerously high.
When the modules are connected in parallel the currents are summed together.
Although touch protection is provided in the form of the fully insulated plug contacts, the following points must
be observed when handling the solar modules to avoid the risk of fire, arcing and fatal electric shock:
NOTICE! The installation of solar PV voltage should be done by qualified professionals.
DANGER! Do not insert electrically conducting parts into the plugs or sockets.
DANGER! Do not wear metallic jewelry while performing mechanical or electrical installation.
DANGER! Do not fit solar modules and wiring with wet plugs and sockets. Tools and working
conditions must be dry.
ATTENTION! Exercise extreme caution when carrying out work on wiring and use the appropriate
safety equipment (insulated tools, insulated gloves, etc.).
ATTENTION! Do not use damaged modules, dismantle modules or remove any part or label fitted
by the manufacturer.
ATTENTION! Do not treat the rear of the laminate with paint or adhesives, or mark it using sharp
objects.
