Introduction

This manual provides important safety 

instructions for the Sunflare FLEX60 module and 

should be read and understood in its entirety 

prior to handling and installation. These modules 

have been certified by CSA Group to UL1703 and 

UL790 for installation on TPO, EPDM, and PVC 

roofing systems.

These installation instructions are valid for 

Sunflare FLEX60 modules with the following 

model numbers.

The electrical characteristics are within ±10 percent 
of the indicated values of Isc, Voc, and Pmax under 
standard test conditions (irradiance of 100 mW/ cm2, 
AM 1.5 spectrum, and a cell temperature of 25°C 
(77°F)).

Installation, commissioning, servicing and repairs 

to the module, and an array, should only be 

carried out by qualified and authorized persons 

in compliance with local and national electrical, 

fire, and health and safety codes. If there are any 

discrepancies between these instructions and the 

applicable local or national codes, the local and 

national codes take precedence.

These instructions are intended as a guideline for 

professional solar system integrators only. The

FLEX60 modules are not intended for installation 

by unqualified end users. These instructions are 

to be retained for future reference in case of 

maintenance, ownership change, or disposal.

General & Electrical 

Safety Information

•  Danger!

 These modules can produce lethal 

electrical voltages when connected in series. 

Read all safety information prior to handling. 

Failure to adhere to the following safety 

guidelines can lead to arcs, fires, and electric 

shock hazards. 

•  The module is considered in compliance with 

UL 1703 only when the module is mounted 

in the manner specified by the mounting 

instructions below. 

•  Any module without a frame (laminate) 

shall not be considered to comply with the 

requirements of UL1703 unless the module 

is mounted with hardware that has been 

tested and evaluated with the module under 

this standard or by field inspection certifying 

that the installed module complies with the 

requirements of UL 1703. 

•  The PV modules should only be used for the 

purpose for which they are intended. 

•  Concentrated or artificial sunlight shall not 

be directed onto the PV module. 

•  All work on the PV system should be 

performed by qualified personnel only. 

•  Warning! 

Solar modules generate direct 

current (DC) when exposed to light. Breaking 

or opening a connection under load, i.e. when 

current is flowing, can cause an electric arc 

which will not self-extinguish. 

•  Never work on the system or module under 

load. 

•  Always turn off and disconnect the inverter 

or other loads before working on the system.
