Rooftop PV systems should only be installed on dwellings that have been formally analyzed for
structural integrity, and confirmed to be capable of handling the additional weighted load of PV
system components, including PV modules, by a certified building specialist or engineer.
For your safety, do not attempt to work on a rooftop until safety precautions have been identified
and taken, including without limitation fall protection measures, ladders or stairways, and personal
protective equipment (PPE).
For your safety, do not install or handle PV modules under adverse conditions, including without
limitation strong or gusty winds, and wet or frosted roof surfaces.
The flat-plate PV module construction consists of a laminated assembly of solar cells encapsulated
within an insulating material within two glass sheets.
Keep this documentation in a safe place for future reference.
Do not attempt to disassemble the module, and do not remove any attached nameplates or
components! Doing so will void the warranty.
2 Handling
SoliTek PV modules must be transported in the supplied packaging only and kept in the packaging
until they are ready to be installed. Protect pallets against movement and exposure to damage during
transportation. Secure pallets from falling over. Do not exceed the maximum height of pallets to be
stacked, as indicated on the pallet packaging. Store pallets in a cool and dry location until the PV
modules are ready to be unpackaged.
SoliTek PV modules are heavy and should be handled with care. Never use the junction box or cables
as a grip. Do not exert mechanical stress on the cables. Never step on PV modules or drop or place
heavy objects on them. Be careful when placing PV modules on hard surfaces and secure them from
falling. Broken glass can result in personal injury. PV modules with broken glass cannot be repaired
and must not be used. Broken or damaged PV modules must be handled carefully and disposed of
properly.
