GENERAL INFORMATION
This general manual provides important safety informa-
tion relating to the installation, maintenance and han-
dling of bifacial double glass solar modules. Professional
installer must read these guidelines carefully and strictly
follow these instructions. Failure follow these instructions
may result in death, injury or property damage. The in-
stallation and handling of PV modules requires profes-
sional skills and should only be performed by qualified
professionals. Installers must inform end -users (consum-
ers) about the aforesaid information accordingly.
The word “module” or “PV module” used in this manual re-
fers to one or more double glass solar modules. This man-
ual is only valid for the bifacial double glass module types
PW72LHT-CB-XF, PW72HT-CB-XF and PW60HT-CB-XF.
Please retain this manual for future reference. We recom-
mend visiting
regularly for the most
updated version of bifacial module installation manual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Warning:
Before attempting to install, wire,
operate and/or service the module and other
electrical equipment, all instructions should
be read and understood. PV module connec-
tors 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, irrespective of whether or not the module and the
other electrical equipment have been connected.
GENERAL SAFETY
All Modules must be installed by licensed electricians
in accordance with the applicable electrical codes such
as, the latest National Electrical Code (USA) or Canadian
Electric Code (Canada) or other national or international
electrical codes.
Protective clothing (non-slip gloves, clothes,
etc.) must be worn during installation to prevent
direct contact with 30 VDC or greater, and to
protect hands from sharp edges.
Prior to installation, remove all metallic jewelry
to prevent accidental exposure to live circuits.
When installing modules in light rain, morning
dew, take appropriate measures to prevent wa-
ter ingress into the connectors, f. e. using con-
nector endcaps.
Do not allow children or unauthorized persons
near the installation site or module storage area.
•
Use ellectrically insulated tools to reduce the risk of
electric shock.
•
If the disconnects and over current protective devic-
es (OCPD) cannot be opened or the inverter cannot
be powered down, cover the fronts and backs of
modules in the PV array with an opaque material to
stop the production of electricity when installing or
working on a module or wiring.
•
Do not install modules in strong wind.
•
Do not use or install broken modules.
•
Do not contact module surface if the front or rear
glass is broken. This may cause electric shock.
•
Do not attempt to repair any part of the PV module.
The module does not contain any serviceable parts.
•
Do not open the cover of the junction box at any
time.
•
Do not disassemble a module or remove any module
part.
•
Do not artificially concentrate sunlight on a module.
•
Do not connect or disconnect modules when current
from the modules or an external source is present.

MECHANICAL / ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Module electrical ratings are measured under Standard
Test Conditions (STC) of 1000 W/m2 irradiance, with an
AM 1.5 spectrum, and a cell temperature of 25°C. De-
tailed electrical and mechanical characteristics of EDF
