Installation and commissioning shall be done in accordance with IEC 62446 & IEC60346 and their associated codes. 4. Do not pull the PV cables. 5. Protect PV Modules cables from direct sunlight. 6. Do not strain junction box conductors. 7. Do not touch any surface of module. 8. Do not place/drop objects onto the PV module. 9. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the PV module by yourself. 10. Do not damage, pull, bend or place heavy material on cables. 11. Do not use stainless wire ties or any other sharp material to tight the PV Modules cables directly. 12. Protect PV Cables from Pests and small animals is essential. 13. 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. 14. When replacement parts are required, be sure the installer /serelectric shock or other hazard. 15. Consult your local building and safety department for required permits and applicable regulations. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: This installation manual contains essential information for the electrical and mechanical installation that you must know before installation modules. This also Contains safety information you need to be familiar with. All information described in this manual are intellectual property and based on technologies and experiences that have been acquired and accumulated throughout years even it is short period of time but it is enough to prepare such comprehensive report about installation. Please Read this manual carefully before using the Photovoltaic modules manufactured by Philadelphia Solar Ltd This document does not constitute a guarantee, expressed or implied. Philadelphia Solar does not assume responsibility and expressly disclaims liability for loss, damage, or expanse arising out of or in any way connected with installation, operation, use or maintenance of PV modules.

GENERAL INFORMATION: The installation of PV modules requires a great degree of skill and that there is a serious risk of various types of injury occurring during the installation including the risk of electric shock. All modules are equipped with a permanently attached Junction box 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 is connected or not. sources illuminate the module surface. 5.Use a single safety locking clip MC4 style connector for connecting solar cables. 6.Follow the connector manufacturer s assembly instructions when tings are a common cause of arc faults. When the modules are connected in series, voltage is cumulative. When the modules are connected in parallel current is cumulative.as a result, a large scale PV system can produce high voltage and current which could present an increased hazard and may cause serious injury or death 7.Do not connect PV modules directly to the loads such as motor since the variation of the output power depending on the solar irradiation causes damage for the connected motor. In case of a brushless motor, the lock function becomes active and the In case of a brushless motor, the lock function becomes active and the hall IC is most likely to be damaged. In the case of a brush type motor, the coil is most likely to be damaged. GERNERAL SAFETY: Consult local codes and other applicable laws concerning required permits on regulations concerning installation and inspection requirements. Before installing a PV module, contact appropriate authorities to determine permit, installation and inspection requirements that should be followed. Install PV modules and ground frame in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. nel. Only installer/service personnel should have access to the PV modules installation site. No matter where the PV modules are installed either roof mounted construction or any other types of structures above the ground, appropriate safety practices should be followed and required safety equipment should be used in order to avoid possible safety hazards. Note that the installation of some PV modules on roofs may require the addi In case that PV modules are nonintegral type, the modules have to Please use PV modules with same cell size within series. Follow all safety precautions of other components used in the system. In order to avoid a risk of injury or electrical shock, do not allow anyone to approach the PV module if the person has little knowledge on PV module or on the measures that should be taken when PV modules are damaged. Do not shade portions of the PV modules surface from the sunlight for a long time.the shaded cell may become hot (hot spot phenomenon) which results in solder joints peeling off. Do not clean the glass surface with chemicals. Do not let water stay on the glass surface of PV modules for a long time. This creates a risk ration of energy generation. Purity degree of washing water shall be considered to avoid any chemical reaction with PV Modules glass cover. Do not install the PV module horizontally. it may cause dirt or white Do not cover the water drain holes of the frame. There is a risk of frost When sliding snow load has to be considered, an appropriate measure has to be taken so that PV module frames on lower edge of PV modules will not be damaged. Do not expose PV module to concentrated sunlight with mirrors, lenses or similar means. Turn off inverters and circuit breakers immediately, if any problem occurred. In case the glass surface of a PV module is broken, wear goggles, gloves and tape the glass to keep the broken pieces in place. A defective PV module may generate power even if it is removed from the system. It may be dangerous to handle the PV while exposed to sunlight. Place a defective PV module in a carton so PV cells are completely shaded. In case of series connection, Number of Series Modules shall be determined according to the minimum design temperature for installation location and not to exceed 1000Vdc /1500Vdc for the string of series PV Modules at any time. The maximum open circuit voltage must not equation : Max System voltage N * Voc * [1 + TCvoc x (Tmin25)]. open circuit voltage for the module as per data sheet. And Tmin: refer to the lowest ambient Temperature. QP10IM21UL/Rev 8

Fuses: The max rating of a fuse connected in series with an array string is 15A. Fuse rating corresponds to max reverse current that the module can withstand, when one string is shaded then the other parallel strings of fore affects the number of parallel strings. Please review Technical Data sheets. Caution: improper maintenance can cause electric shock or burns. Be careful. Failure to comply with the above recommendations will result to situations do not be covered by the guarantee. Unpacking and Storage: *Leave the product on its original box until you need to install. *Store packages in a clean, dry area with relative humidity below %85 and ambient temperatures between ( 20 to 40) C. *Do not stack more than the allowable limits of pallets over each other. Which are two pallets over each others expect 36 and 36s models, three pallets over each others. *At installation side, keep electrical contacts clean and dry to avoid corrosion, any module with corroded contacts should not be used. *If pallets are stored outside, use protective covers to protect them from different weather conditions. *Two people are required to unpack modules from packing pallet. Use wire cutting pliers to remove plastic straps on pallets. *Do not place modules directly over each others. QP10IM21UL/Rev 8
