Locating the Unit

General Safety
•  The installation of a photovoltaic system requires specialized skills and knowledge 

and must only be carried out by licensed/qualified persons.

•  Installers  should  assume  all  risks  of  injury  and  do  everything  to  avoid  potential 

damages and risks that might occur during installation, including but not limited to, 

the risks of electric shock.

•  Joule Pulsa modules do not need special cables for connection. All of the modules 

have permanent junction boxes, cables and connectors.

•  Do not use mirrors or magnifiers to concentrate sunlight onto the modules.

•  The modules generate DC electrical energy from sunlight. They are designed for 

outdoor use and can be mounted onto frames on rooftops or in the ground etc.

•  Do not paint the module or attach anything on to the back of the module.

•  Do  not  attempt  to  disassemble  the  modules,  and  do  not  remove  any  attached 

nameplates or components from the modules.

Handling safety 
•  When handling the module insulated gloves must be worn.

•  Inappropriate transportation and installation may break the module.

•  Do not lift or move the module by holding the junction box or cable.

•  Do not place anything on the module or press on the module surface.

•  Do not drop the module or allow objects to fall on the module.

•  Do not expose the back of the module to direct sunlight.

•  Do not wear metal ornaments while handling the module.

•  Do not install or handle modules in wet or strong windy conditions.

Installation safety
•  Local, regional and state laws and regulations must be adhered to while installing a 

photovoltaic system. For example, any necessary licenses must be obtained prior 

to the installation commencing. Regulations around vehicles and ships must also 

be observed during the installation.

•  Observe all safety rules for the other system components, including the cables, 

connectors, charging controllers, inverter and storage battery etc.

•  Do not place the modules near a location where flammable gases are either gener-

ated or collected.

•  Insulated gloves must be worn during the installation.

•  Do not wear metal ornaments during the installation.

•  Do not drill holes in the frame.
