requirements for fire safety Type 1 or 2.
• The PV modules shall be properly grounded in accordance with the instruc-
tions in this Guide or the requirements of the National Electrical Code.
• Installing PV modules requires specialized skills and knowledge. Installation
should only beperformed byqualified personnel. Electrical connections require
a licensed electrician where applicable according to local code and law (i.e. the
NEC for the USA and CEC for Canada).
•Installers should assume all risk of injury that might occur during installation,
including, but not limited to the risk of electric shock.
• One single PV module may generate more than 30V DCwhen exposed to
direct sunlight. Access to a DC voltage of 30V or more is potentially hazardous.
• PV modules which convert light energy to DC electricalenergy, are designed
for outdoor use and canbe mounted ontheground, rooftop, vehicles or boats,
etc. Proper support structure design is the responsibility of thesystem design
ers and installers.

• Do not use PV modules with broken glass or torn back sheet which presents
danger of electrical shock.
• Do not handle panels in wet conditions without appropriate protection.
• Do not exposePV module to sunlight until installation to avoid unnecessary
degradation.
• 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
a field Inspection certifying that the installed module complies with the
requirements of UL 1703.
• Installation shall conform with UL standards and Safety Standards for Electri-
cal Installations.
• Do not disconnect under load.
• Do not touch conductive parts of PV modules, such as terminals, which can
result in burns, sparks and lethal shock whether or not the PV module is con-
nected.
• Do not touch the PV module unnecessarily during installation.
• Do not work in the rain, snow or windy conditions.
• Do not expose artificial sunlight to PV modules. Completely cover the PV
module with an opaque material during installation to prevent electricity from
being generated.
• Do not wear metallic rings, watchbands, ear, nose, lip rings or other metallic
objects while installing or troubleshooting.
• Only use insulated tools that are qualified for working on electrical installa-
tions.
• Follow the safety regulations for all other system components, including wire
and cables, connectors, charging regulators, inverters, storage batteries,
rechargeable batteries, etc.
• Under normal outdoor conditions the current and voltagegenerated will
differ from those listed onthedatasheet. Current and short-circuit current
should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 to determine component ratings.
• Only use connectors compatible with thePV module connectors. Removing
the connectors without prior authorization will invalidate the warranty.
• Do not move installed modules to another location, which may invalidate the
warranty.
Each module has three Barcode stickers and one label which have the same
unique serial no. of each module.

• Modules can be installed in both landscape and portrait modes
• The PV modules shall be installed high enough to keep it awayfrom potential
shading, windblown sand, snow and water.
• It is recommended that installation of the PV modules be 30cm away from the
ground to insure adequate ventilation.
• Appropriate installation structure shall be chosen to meet required mechanical
load.
• It is recommended that PV modules be installed with a minimum tilt angle of 10
degrees to facilitate cleaning and washdown.
• It is recommended to maintain minimum 10mm gap between PV modules for ther
mal expansion of materials.
• Install PV modules appropriately according to corresponding mechanical load
needs.
It is recommended that PV modules be installed where there is excellent solar inso-
lation. In the Northern Hemisphere, the module should typically face south, and in
the Southern Hemisphere, the modules should typically face north. The mostopti-
mum installation angle varies according to different latitudes and longitudes; please
consult experts with appropriate knowledge background when determining the
installation locations and angles.
Each PV module has 8 mounting holes(shown on drawing1-1).The downward
mechanical load resistance of module will be different based on the location of
the installation holes used(shown as table 1-1).The module frame must be
attached to a mounting rail using M8 corrosion-proof screws together with
spring washers and flat washers in eight symmetrical locations on the PV
module. The applied torque should be adequate to attach it firmly. The refer
ence torque value for M8 screws is 16~20N*m.
When choosing a site, avoid trees, buildings or obstructions which could cast shad-
-ws on the solar photovoltaic modules. Shading can cause hot spots and loss of out-
-put. Factory fitted bypass diodes will minimize such effect.
Do not install the PV modules near naked flame or flammable materials.
Do not install the PV modules in a location where it would be immersed in
water or constantly exposed to water from a sprinkler or fountain etc.

• BE AWARE of dangerous high DC voltage when connecting module.
• DO NOT damage or scratch the rear surface of the module.
• DO NOT handle or install module when they are wet.
The wiring components shall be compatible with the PV modules.
The PV modules connected in serial shall have similar current. The Voc of one PV
string shall no higher than the maximum system voltage(make reference to the
maximum system voltage marked on label), , the Voc temperature coefficient
feature and the extreme low temperature of installation location must betaken
into consideration when calculate the Voc of the PV string .
The PV modules connected in parallel shall have similar Voltage. The Isc tem-
perature coefficient feature and the extreme high temperature of installation
location must be taken into consideration when calculate the Isc of the PV
array.
Please refer to local regulations to determine the system wires size, type and
temperature.
The cross-sectional area and cable connector capacity must satisfy the maxi-
mum short-circuit of PVsystem (For a single component, we recommended the
cross-sectional area of cablesis 4mm2 and the the rated current of connectors
is more than 15A), otherwise cables and connectors will become overheating
for large current. Please pay attention: the temperature limit of cables is 85°C
and the temperature limit of connector is 105°C
A qualified system designer or integrator should always be consulted.

Building permits, inspections and approvals by the local utility are generally
required.
Where common grounding hardware (nuts, bolts, star washers, spilt-ring lock
washers, flat washers and the like) is used to attach a listed grounding/bonding
device, the attachment must be made in conformance with the grounding
device manufacturer’s instructions.
For grounding and bonding requirements, please refer to regional and national
safetyand electricity standards. If grounding is required, use a recommended
connector type, or an equivalent, for the grounding wire.
If grounding is required, thegrounding wire must beproperly fastened to the
module frame to assure adequate electrical connection (grounding hole shown
as drawing 4).
Whensystem operates in high humidity and high temperature circumstances,
transformer-Based inverter allowing system negative grounding is highly rec-
ommended to achieve mitigating risk of higher power degradation rate.
