Safety precaution for installing
a solar photovoltaic system
Solar modules produce electrical energy when light shines on their front surface. The DC voltage may exceed 30V. If modules are connected in series, the total voltage is equal
to the sum of the individual module voltages. If modules are connected in parallel, the total current is equal to the sum of individual module currents.
Keep children well away from the system while transporting and installing mechanical and electrical components.
Completely cover the module with an opaque material during installation to keep electricity from being generated.
Do not wear metallic rings, watchbands, ear, nose, lip rings or other metallic devices while installing or troubleshooting photovoltaic systems.
E
Use only insulated tools that are approved for working on electrical installations.
Abide with the safety regulations for all other components used in the system, including wiring and cables, connectors, charging regulators, inverters, storage batteries and
rechargeable batteries, etc.
Use only equipment, connectors, wiring and support frames suitable for a solar electric system. Always use the same type of module within a particular photovoltaic system.
The electrical characteristics are within ±10 percent of the indicated values of Isc, Voc, and Pmax under standard test conditions (irradiance of 100mW/cm2, AM 1.5 spectrums,
and a cell temperature of 25°C (77°F))
Under normal outdoor conditions the module will produce current and voltages that are different than those listed in the date sheet. Data sheet values are values expected at
standard test conditions. Accordingly, during system design, values of short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining
component voltage ratings, conductor ampacity, fuse ratings and size of controls connected to the modules or system output.

Product identification
Each module has three labels on its rear side providing the following information:
Nameplate: describes the product type; rated power, rated current, rated voltage, open circuit voltage, short circuit current, all as measured under standard test conditions;
weight, dimension etc.; the maximum system voltage 1000 volts DC and is shown on the nameplate. Maximum fuse rating is also shown.
"Pass": describe inspection date and security class.
Bar code: each individual module has a unique serial number. The serial number has 18 digits. The 15th and the 16th digit are the week code, and the 17th and the 18th digit
are the year code. For example, xxxxxxxxxxxxxx0106 means the module was made in the first week of 2006. There is only one bar code on module. It is permanently attached to the
interior of the module visible when viewing from the front of the module. This bar code is inserted at the beginning of laminating.

Typical serial number barcode label
Do not remove any label. If the label is removed,
the product warranty will no longer be honored by Suntech.
