fully  covering  their  FRONT  plus  REAR  surface  with  cloth,  cardboard,  or  other  completely  opaque 

non-marking material, or by working with them face down on a smooth, flat surface.  

 

IMPORTANT : MegaCell bifacial modules produce voltage when exposed to light also on back side 

 

o

 

Do not expose the modules to artificially concentrated sunlight 

o

 

Do not stand on, drop, scratch, or allow objects to fall on the modules.  

o

 

Do not lift the modules by the junction box or junction box cables.  

o

 

Do not install or handle the modules when they are wet or during periods of high winds.  

o

 

Ensure that junction box cables are provided with strain relief to avoid damage to the junction box, 

maintaining a minimum bending radius of 50 mm at all locations along the cable.  

o

 

Do  not  leave  cable  connectors  exposed  in  adverse  climatic  conditions.  Water  and  dust  deposits 

inside the cable connectors can cause long term damage.  

o

 

A module with broken glass, damaged junction box, connectors or cables present electrical safety 

hazards and must be removed from service.

Warning: Extreme Danger due to electrical shock! 

Solar modules generate electricity. When exposed to light, a voltage occurs, which can be dangerous and 

life-threatening.  Even  though  the  individual  modules  generate  a  relatively  low  voltage  of  50  V  DC,  the 

voltage will accumulate as soon as several modules are connected in series. Modules connected in parallel 

result in accumulation of the currents. Although the fully insulated plug contacts are designed to protect 

against accidental contact, the following instructions must be followed when handling the solar modules in 

order to avoid combustion, spark formation and, above all, fatal electrical shocks: 

o

 

Never insert electrically conducting pieces into the plugs and sockets. 

o

 

Do not wear metallic jewelry during mechanical and electrical installation. 

o

 

Keep the tools and work area dry. Only install solar modules and wires with dry plugs and sockets. 

o

 

Maintain utmost caution and care. When working on the wires, always use both tools and gloves 

which are insulated. 

o

 

Do not disassemble the modules. Never remove parts or name plates fitted by the manufacturer. 

Only use flawless modules. Do not treat the back side of the modules with sharp objects, paints or 

adhesives. 

o

 

Do not expose modules to artificially concentrated sunlight 

 

It  is  absolutely  necessary  that  the  wiring  of  the  modules  is  only  carried  out  by  qualified  and  authorized 

personnel.
