connector covers shall be added as a protective measure. Note that pollution from sand, dust and water will result
in arcs and electrical shock of connectors. We suggest the customers add rubber connector covers as a protection
method specific to the area with heavy dust or seaside areas with higher salinity or serious polluted areas.
Reflection from snow or water can increase sunlight and therefore boost current and power. In addition, colder
temperatures can substantially increase voltage and power.
If the glass or other material is damaged, please wear personal protection equipment and separate the module from
the circuit.
Work only under dry conditions, and use only dry tools. Do not handle Modules when they are wet unless wearing
appropriate protective equipment. If you need to clean the Modules, please follow the cleaning requirements
mentioned in the manual.
Installation must be carried out under the guidance of a qualified electrician.
3.4 Operating Safety
Do not open the package of Solaria Modules during transportation and storing until they are ready to be installed.
At the same time please protect the package against exposure to damage. Secure pallets from falling over.
Do not exceed the maximum height of pallets to be stacked, as indicated on the pallet packaging.
Store pallets in a ventilated, rain-proof and dry location until the Modules are ready to be unpacked.
Do not lift the Modules by grasping the Module’s junction box or electrical leads in any condition.
Do not stand or step on the Modules.
Do not drop the Modules on another Module.
Do not place any heavy objects on the Modules to avoid glass breakage.
Be cautious when setting the Modules down on to a surface, especially on the corner of the Modules.
Inappropriate transport and installation may break the Modules.
Do not attempt to disassemble the Modules, and do not remove any attached nameplates or components from the
Modules.
Do not apply paint or adhesive to the Modules top surface.
To avoid damage to the backsheet, do not scratch or hit the backsheet.
Do not drill holes in the frame. This may compromise the frame strength and cause corrosion of the frame.
Do not scratch the anodized coating of the frame (except for grounding connection). It may cause corrosion of the
frame or compromise the frame strength.
Do not attempt to repair the Modules with damaged glass.
The scrapped modules shall be recovered and disposed by the qualified institution.
In dry areas, modules are easily affected by static electricity during installation. So the installation personnel should
wear anti-static assembly to ensure that the equipment and installation personnel are not affected or hurt by static
electricity.
