RECYCLABLE:
most of the
photovoltaic
modules
are
recyclable. They should not be
thrown into landfill without a proper
method for recycling. Aftert the
approval of EU Directive 2012/19/Ue the
photovoltaic modules are classified as electronic
waste.
FRAGILE:
the photovoltaic modules
are manufactured using a glass front
which makes up approximately 70%
of the total materials used to
construct them. Although the
modules are stiffened by an aluminium frame, any
direct impact to the glass or on the corners of the
modules should be avoided. Avoid flexing the
laminates or applying non distributed loads and
stresses. Avoid scratching the surface of the
exterior glass or backsheet. Do not apply any
forces to the backsheets.
HANDLE WITH CARE:
during the
operation of shipping and storage of
the modules use maximum care to
ensure the full integrity of the
modules.
9c) How to Handle the Pallet
During the handling of the pallet make sure to pay
the utmost attention. The packaging must be
raised/moved exclusively with fork-lift trucks or
hand pallet trucks fitted with forks of length
appropriate to its size and weight.
Pay attention during the stages of handling and
unpacking. Verify that the package is positioned on
a surface that is either flat or not excessively
deformed to a point that would impart an inclination
to the pallets which could damage the PV modules.
