1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION 

This general manual provides important safety information relating to the installation, maintenance and handling 
of CS-series solar modules. System users and professional installers should read this manual carefully and 
strictly follow the instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death, injury or property damage. 
The installation of solar modules requires specialized skills and should only be performed by licensed 
professionals. 
The word "module" or "PV module" used in this manual refers to one or more PW-Series Solar Modules. 
Please retain this manual for future reference. It is recommended to regularly check online for the most updated 
version. 
 

1.1 DISCLAIMER OF INSTALLATION MANUAL 

The Information contained in this manual is subject to change by EDF ENR PWT without prior notice. EDF 
ENR PWT makes no warranty of any kind whatsoever, either explicitly or implicitly, with respect to the 
information contained herein.   
 

1.2 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 

EDF ENR PWT shall not be held responsible for damages of any kind, including without limitation bodily harm, 
injury and property damage, relating to module handling, system installation, or compliance or non-compliance 
with the instructions set forth in this manual. 
 

2.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

Warning:

 All instructions should be read and understood before attempting to install, wire, 

operate and/or maintain the module. Module interconnects pass direct current (DC) when 
exposed to sunlight or other light sources. Contact with electrically active parts of the module, 
such as terminals, can result in injury or death, whether the module is connected or 
disconnected. 

Avertissement :

 Toutes les instructions devront être lues et comprises avant de procéder à 

l’installation, le câblage, l’exploitation et/ou l’entretien des panneaux. Les interconnexions 
des panneaux conduisent du courant continu (CC) lorsque le panneau est exposé à la lumière 
du soleil ou à d’autres sources lumineuses. Tout contact avec des éléments sous tension du 
panneau tels que ses bornes de sortie peut entraîner des blessures ou la mort, que le panneau 

soit connecté ou non. 

General Safety 

 

All installations must be performed in compliance with all applicable regional and local codes such as, the 
latest National Electrical Code (USA) or Canadian Electric Code (Canada) or other national or international 
electrical standards.     

 

Wear suitable protection (non-slip gloves, clothes, etc.) to prevent direct contact with 30VDC or greater, 
and to protect your hands from sharp edges during the installation.     

 

Use electrical insulated tools to reduce the risk of electric shock. 

 

Remove all metallic jewelry prior to installation to reduce the chance of accidental exposure to live circuits. 

 

Cover the front of the modules in the PV array with an opaque material to halt production of electricity 
when installing or working with a module or wiring.
