4. Safety
Please ensure all necessary measures are taken to prevent accidents. The use of SF PV modules in applications that may
endanger human lives is prohibited, including in air and road transport systems. SF modules must not be used for anything
other than their express purpose.
Solar Frontier strongly advises you to follow the instructions below in order to avoid bodily injury, damage to property and/or
death.
4.1 General Safety
Installation, wiring, and maintenance of SF PV modules must only be carried out by licensed and trained persons.
Ensure that all instructions and information related to SF PV modules and other balance of system components are
fully understood prior to handling and installing a PV solar system.
The front surface of SF PV modules must be covered with an opaque material during installation to decrease the
potential of electrical shock.
SF PV modules only generate direct current (DC) electricity.
SF PV modules do not have the ability to store electricity.
SF PV modules will experience higher voltage when connected in series and higher electrical current when
connected in parallel.
Only interconnect SF PV modules with similar electrical characteristics in series or in parallel to prevent system
imbalance conditions and module damage.
The PV array open-circuit voltage must never exceed the maximum system voltage (including in low temperature
conditions).
Leakage currents could create a shock hazard or fire.
Do not disconnect operational modules or electrical arcing may occur. This may result in serious bodily harm or death.
Do not use SF PV modules for purposes other than terrestrial power generation to prevent electrical shock, fire or other
accidents.
Do not concentrate artificial sunlight on modules using lenses or mirrors.
Do not use any light sources other than natural sunlight and general illumination for power generation.
Do not use SF PV modules in water or liquid. There is a serious risk of electric shock, an electric leak or an accident.
The level of leakage current must be limited in accordance with local regulations for safety reasons.
Carefully check the polarity of the wiring before installing. Incorrect wiring may damage SF PV modules or appliances.
Only use equipment, connectors, wiring and support frames suitable for solar electric systems.
Wear appropriate protection and take all necessary precautions to prevent electric shock, especially when DC voltage
exceeds 30 VDC.
5. Storage and Transport
Please follow the instructions on the module packaging when storing and transporting SF PV modules. Ensure that each
module is adequately supported and always stored in dry conditions. The module packaging is not waterproof material.
Keep the junction box and the module connector away from any liquids when storing and transporting SF PV modules. SF
PV modules should be kept in the original packaging until final installation. Small amounts of white powder from packaging
material may adhere to the modules. This may safely be ignored and has no affect on performance.
6. Mechanical Installation
6.1 Mechanical Installation Cautions
Observe all applicable health and safety regulations when installing SF PV modules.
A safe distance should be cordoned off around the installation area.
Fall protection equipment must be used.
Installation in windy or wet conditions may require additional precaution. Please follow your local safety regulation.
Keep the junction box and the module connector away from any liquids until connectors are mated. Failure to do this
may cause faulty wiring.
Keep SF PV modules out of reach of children.
