1 WARNING NOTICES

Danger of Death from Electric Shock

Photovoltaic modules can generate electricity upon exposure to light. The voltage of a

single module is less than 50 VDC, but when connected together in series, the total

voltage can be dangerously high. When connected together in parallel the current is

added together. When handling the module the following must be followed to avoid the

risk of arcing, fire and electric shock.

1. The installation of PV should only be performed by qualified personnel.

2. Do not wear metallic jewelry when installing.

3. Do not install PV modules when wet. Tools must be dry.

4. Do not use damaged or defective modules. Place all damaged or defective modules

in a carton to avoid exposure to light. Even damaged or defective modules can

produce electricity.

5. Contact with electrically active parts of a PV module such as terminals, can result in

burns, sparks and lethal shock whether the PV modules are connected or not.

6. PV systems can produce high voltage and current which could present an increased

hazard and may cause serious injury or death.

7. Artificial sunlight should not be concentrated upon the PV module. Do not expose

PV modules to sunlight concentrated with mirrors, lenses or other means.

8. Use appropriate safety equipment (insulated tools, insulated gloves, etc) when

working on any wiring.
