1. Introduction
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing Schüco Solar products and for the trust you have placed in our company.
Prior to your first installation, we recommend that you attend a training course at our training centre or, if this is
not possible, that you arrange for on-site training from one of our service engineers.
Please observe the information in these installation and operating instructions.
1.1. Note the following instructions regarding laws, regulations and technical rules.
When setting up solar energy installations, the laws and regulations at local, state, European and international
level that apply to the country in question must be observed.
Generally acknowledged technical regulations apply; these are usually in the form of standards, guidelines,
provisions, regulations and technical rules laid down by local and national bodies, energy supply companies,
trade organisations and technical committees in the relevant fields.
To meet regulations for the prevention of accidents, it may be necessary to use safety equipment (straps,
scaffolding, supports, etc.). Such safety equipment is not supplied and must be ordered separately.
1.2. Training and qualification of the fabricators/installers
Schüco assumes that installation will only be carried out by technically qualified and authorised personnel with a
recognised qualification (verified by a state or national body) in the relevant technical area.
2. Product description: Schüco PV modules
Schüco MPE modules generate electricity as soon as they are exposed to light. The electrical contacts are
therefore always “live”. A single module lies below the protective low voltage threshold, but several modules
connected in series or parallel may represent a danger. When installing the modules, please observe all the
installation instructions for the system assemblies and components.
We shall not be liable for any damage which arises from a failure to adhere to these instructions.
2.1. correct usage
The Schüco MPE modules are designed as stationary generators of electricity for photovoltaic systems
Alternative use or use beyond this remit is not in accordance with its purpose. Incorrect usage can result in
serious injury or death to the user or a third party and may harm the device or system and other material assets.
The manufacturer/supplier shall not be liable for any damage arising from such misuse. The risk will be borne
by the user alone.
Correct usage also includes adhering to the installation and operating instructions.
