Before & After Installation
Before Installation
Please carefully read this manual before installation.
• Contact with electrically active parts of the panels,
such as terminals, may result in burns, sparks and lethal
shock whether the panel is connected or disconnected.
• Panels produce voltage even when not connected to
an electrical circuit or load.
• Solar module installation and maintenance must be
performed by qualified and authorized installer.
• All installation instructions should be read and
understood before performing any installation.
• Do not twist, pull, or scratch the cable attached to the
solar module.
• Do not touch the solar module with bare hands. Failure
to comply may result in a serious burn or injury.
• Do not drop the solar module or place weight on a
solar module.
• Do not disassemble the solar module.
• After installation or repair, check that the solar module
are operating properly.
• In the event a solar module or parts are being replaced
the newly replaced module and parts must have the
same model name and parts as the original solar
module.
• Secure all necessary permits and licenses prior to
installing the solar modules.
• Only qualified and authorized individuals are permitted
to treat electrical parts, when there is a breakage, failure
or damage of the product.
• Do not use or install broken modules; Failure to
comply may result in fire, electric shock, and injury.
• Do not install the module horizontally. Failure to
comply may result in excess dirt or white efflorescence
(glass disease).
• Panels are not intended for use indoors or on moving
vehicles of any kind.
• Reflection from external environments such as snow,
water or other surfaces may increase the power
generated by the panel.
• Industry standard rated specifications are made at
conditions of 1000W/m
2
irradiance and 25
°
C (77ºF)
solar cell temperature. Colder temperatures may
substantially increase voltage and power.
• Keep the solar module and system away from children
at all times.
• Keep the module packed in the carton
until the time of
installation.
• Keep flammable gasses away from the installation site.
• Do not work alone. Work as part of a team of two or
more people.
• Safety harness use is strongly recommended for
installation.
• Partial shadowing may substantially reduce panel and
system output.
• Care must be taken to avoid low tilt angles which may
cause dirt to buildup on the glass against the frame
edge.
• Dirt build-up on the surface of the panel may cause
active solar cells to be shaded and electrical
performance to be impaired.
• Always keep the back surface of the panel free from
any foreign objects or structural elements which could
come into contact with the panel.
After Installation
•
Plug in the connector tightly and ensure that the wiring
properly works.
• Conduct periodic inspection of the panels for damage
to front glass, back sheet, frame, junction box, or
external electrical connections.
• Check electrical connections for loose connections and
corrosion.
• Removal of dirt from the front glass can increase
output.
• Water, ethanol or a conventional glass cleanser with a
micro-fiber cloth can be used for regular washing or
rinsing of the front glass to remove dust, dirt or other
deposits.
• Aggressive and abrasive cleansers or chemicals such
as alkali chemicals including ammonia based solution
should not be used to clean the module.
• Always wear rubber gloves for electrical insulation
while maintaining, washing or cleaning panels.
• Deposits of foreign material on the frame surface can
be cleaned by using a wet sponge or cloth and dried in
air or by using a clean chamois.
• Perform the wiring work by connecting the connector
and wires to the stand away from the roof or ground.
