IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important safety instructions for the PV module
that must be followed during the maintenance of PV modules.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing
unless you are qualified to do so.
1. The installation must be performed by a certified installer
/servicer to ensure system integrity and safety.
2. The installation is only allowed after referring and
understanding of this INSTALLATION MANUAL. If you don’t
have your personal copy, please contact your installer or local
SHARP office listed in SHARP Solar web site : URL : http://
global.sharp/solar/en/
3. Do not pull the PV cables.
4. Do not touch any surface of PV module.
5. Do not place/drop objects onto the PV modules.
6. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the PV module by
yourself.
7. Do not drop the PV module.
8. Do not damage, pull, bend, or place heavy material on cables.
9. Upon completion of any service or repairs, ask the
installer/servicer to perform routine checks to determine that
the PV modules are in safe and proper operating condition.
10. When replacement parts are required, be sure the
installer/servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer with
same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazard.
11. Consult your local building and safety department for required
permits and applicable regulations.
12. As a result of sliding snow, the mechanical load increases when
the number of PV module rows in the matrix of a PV installation
increases. When mounting the PV module in the portrait
orientation for more than 3 rows, the accumulated snow load
may cause the lower edge of the PV module frame to deform.
Take necessary measures (e.g. snow stopper) to avoid
possible damage.
13. Periodically remove any overhanging snow and/or ice from the
PV module framework as it may cause deformation of the PV
module frame.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. INTRODUCTION
This INSTALLATION MANUAL contains essential information for the electrical and mechanical installation that you must know
before installing SHARP PV modules. This also contains safety information you need to be familiar with. All the information
described in this manual are the intellectual property of SHARP and based on the technologies and experiences that have been
acquired and accumulated in the long history of SHARP. This document does not constitute a guaranty, expressed or implied.
SHARP does not assume responsibility and expressly disclaims liability for loss, damage, or expense arising out of or in any way
connected with installation, operation, use or maintenance of the PV modules. No responsibility is assumed by SHARP for any
infringement of patents or other rights of third parties that may result from use of PV module. SHARP reserves the right to make
changes to the product, specifications or INSTALLATION MANUAL without prior notice.

3. GENERAL INFORMATION
(INCLUDING WARNING AND SAFETY)
The installation of PV modules requires a great degree of skill
and should only be performed by a qualified licensed
professional, including licensed contractors and licensed
electricians. Please be aware that there is a serious risk of
various types of injury occurring during the installation including
the risk of electric shock. All SHARP PV modules are equipped
with permanently attached junction boxes that will accept
variety of wiring applications or with a special cable assembly
for ease of installation, and they do not require special assembly.
GENERAL WARNING
1. PV modules are heavy. Handle with care.
2. Before you attempt to install, wire, operate and maintain
the PV module, please make sure that you completely
understand the information described in this
INSTALLATION MANUAL.
3. 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.
4. PV modules produce electricity when the sufficient sunlight
or other sources illuminate the PV module surface. When
the PV modules are connected in series, voltage is
cumulative. When the PV modules are connected in
parallel, current is cumulative. As a result, a large-scale PV
system can produce high voltage and current which could
CAUTION: HIGH VOLTAGE
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch.
