Safety
Warnings Related to the Installation of Solar Modules
The following safety instructions and
statutory directives must be observed
and adhered to.
Mounting and installation may only be
•
carried out by qualified persons and
only in compliance with local directives.
A general degree of care is needed
•
when handling the solar modules.
Damaged solar modules may not be
•
used.
Handle the solar module very carefully
•
during transport. Do not allow the solar
module to fall and avoid excessive load.
The solar cells in the solar module are
very thin and can break easily.
Do not step on the solar module and
•
do not let any object fall on the solar
module.
Do not damage or scratch the rear of
•
the solar module.
Do not strike any part of the solar mod
•
ule.
Do not lift the solar module by the
•
junction box and cables. Do not pull at
the cables and do not twist or scratch
the cables.
28
Do not dismantle the solar module and
•
never carry out any unauthorised
changes on the solar module. Do not
remove any labels. Do not drill any
holes in the frame or glass. This could
compromise the stability of the frame
or glass.
Do not cover the water drainage holes
•
of the module frame. If the frame is
filled with water, it can lead to frost
damage.
Do not allow the insulation coating of
•
the frame to get scratched. This can
lead to corrosion and may compromise
the stability of the frame.
Ensure that the plug connections are
•
tight and check the functioning of the
cabling.
Use only those devices, plug connec
•
tions, electric lines and mounting sys
tems which are appropriate for use in
photovoltaic systems.
After installation, check that the solar
•
module and photovoltaic system are
functioning correctly.
