SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY
Before attempting to install, wire, operate and maintain the modules, please read and understand all
safety instructions. The module’s solar cell will generate direct current (DC) when it is exposed to
direct sunlight or other light sources, and direct contact with electricity live 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 are connected.
Regardless of whether the PV module is connected to the system or not, when
conducting such as installation, grounding, wiring, or cleaning work, appropriate
protective equipment such as insulation tools, hard hats, insulated gloves, safety
belts and safety insulated shoes should always be used to avoid direct contact
with the modules, reduce the risk of electric shock and protect your hands from
sharp edges.
Under normal conditions, a solar photovoltaic module is likely to experience conditions that produce
more current and/or voltage than reported at standard test conditions. The requirement of National
Electric Code (NEC) in Article 690 shall be following to address these increased outputs. In
installation not under the requirement of the NEC, the values of Isc and Voc marked on this module
should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings, conductor
current ratings, fuse sizes and size of controls connected to the PV output.
