Do not remove any attached nameplates or
components
Do not exceed the maximum stapling limitation of 2
pallets (standard packaging for shipment).
After unpacking, the modules should be laid
horizontally. Do not incline or stack the modules.
Do not pile up modules without protections to prevent
scratches to the glass and frame. Should the modules
need to be piled, they need to be separated by special
paper or plastic angles.
Do not scratch or damage the module surface.
Do not drill holes in the frame as it may compromise its
strength, cause corrosion and void the warranty.
Do not use the junction box and cables as a grip.
Do not drop the module or allow objects to fall on the
module.
Do not place any heavy objects on the module to avoid
glass breakage.
Do not stand or step on the module.
Do not set the module down hard on a surface.
Do not attempt to repair a module with broken
glass or torn backsheet and do not use it as
contact with any module surface or the frame
could cause an electric shock.
2.3 Installation safety
Installing solar photovoltaic systems requires
specialized skills and knowledge. Photovoltaic solar
modules are designed for outdoor use, and may be
ground mounted as well as mounted on rooftops,
vehicles or boats. The proper design of support
structures is a responsibility of the system designer
and installer. When installing the system, abide with
all local, regional and national statutory regulations.
Keep children away from the installation site and
during transportation and installation of the electrical
equipment.
Cover the module completely with a dark opaque
material during installation to prevent electricity
generation.
When working with modules without any cover, the
safety regulations for live electrical equipment need to
be followed. Use only equipment, connectors, wiring
and support frames suitable for use in a solar electric
installation.
Do not wear metallic rings, watchbands, ear,
nose or lip rings or other metallic devices while
installing or troubleshooting photovoltaic
systems in order to avoid electric shock.
AEG GLASS-GLASS MODULE INSTALLATION MANUAL
Do not disconnect modules under load to avoid
electrical arcs.
Contact with electrically active parts of the modules,
such as terminals, can result in burns, sparks and
lethal shock whether or not the module is connected.
Do not insert electrically conductive parts into the
plugs and sockets.
Do not install solar modules and wiring with wet plugs
and sockets.
Exert extreme caution when carrying out any work on
the wiring. High contact voltages can generate in the
inverter when it is isolated.
Abide with the safety regulations for all the other
components used in the PV system, including wiring
and cables, connectors, charging regulators, inverters,
storage batteries and rechargeable batteries, etc
One individual module may generate DC
voltages greater than 30 V when exposed to
light of any intensity. Contact with a DC voltage
of 30 V or more is potentially hazardous. The series or
parallel connection of the modules increases the
voltage or electric current respectively. The electrical
characteristics are within ±3 % of the indicated values
of Isc, Voc and Pmax under standard test conditions
(irradiance of 1000 W/m², AM 1.5 spectrum, and a cell
temperature of 25 °C/77 °F ). Under normal conditions,
a photovoltaic module is likely to experience conditions
that produce more current and/or voltage than
reported at standard test conditions. Accordingly, the
values of Isc and Voc marked on the module should be
multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when determining
component voltage ratings, conductor current ratings,
minimum factor of fuse sizes, and size of controls
connected to the PV output.
2.4 Fire safety
AEG PV modules are tested according to the provisions
of IEC EN 61730 Directive with Application Class A. Fire
safety has been rated as Class C.
Please be aware that rooftop installations can
!
affect the fire safety of a building. Rooftop
installations should be placed over fire resistant
roofs only; fire class A is recommended. Only fire-
resistant components should be used for rooftop
installations.
Do not install the solar panels in the proximity of
sources of flammable gases and vapors or open flames.
