GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDE
for Siemens Solar Electric Modules
1. INTRODUCTION
This Guide contains application and
safety information with which you
should be familiar before using your
Siemens Solar photovoltaic modules.
Your
authorized Siemens Solar
distributor or dealer can provide
additional sizing and system design
information if necessary.
Disclaimer of Liability
Since the use of this Guide and the
conditions or methods of installation,
operation, use and maintenance of the
module are beyond Siemens Solar
control, Siemens Solar does not
assume responsibility and expressly
disclaims liability for loss, damage, or
expense arising out of or in any way
connected with such installation,
operation, use or maintenance. No
responsibility is assumed by Siemens
Solar for any infringement of patents or
other rights of third parties which may
result from use of the module.
No license is granted by implication or
otherwise under any patent or patent
rights. The information in this Guide is
based on Siemens Solar knowledge
and experience and is believed to be
reliable; but such information including
product
specifications (without
limitations) and suggestions do not
constitute a warranty, expressed or
implied. Siemens Solar reserves the
right to make changes to the product,
specifications, or Guide without prior
notice.
General Information
The installation of solar modules
requires a great degree of skill and
should (if DC voltage exceeds
IOOV:
must) only be performed by a qualified
licensed
professional,
including,
without limitation, licensed contractors
and licensed electricians. The installer
assumes the risk of all injury that might
occur during installation, including,
without limitation, the risk of electric
shock. Siemens Solar modules do not
require the use of special cable
Part No. (019831) REV. E
assemblies. All modules come with a
permanently attached junction box that
will accept a variety of wiring
applications or with a special cable
assembly for ease of installation.
WARNING

instructions should be read
snd
understood before
mttempting
to install, wire,
Dperate
and
maintain
the
photovoltaic module.
Contact
with electrically active paris of
the module such as terminals
can result in burns, sparks, and
lethal shock whether the module
is connected or disconnected.
Photovoltaic
modules produce
electricity when sunlight or
other sources illuminate the
front face.
The voltage from a
single module is not considered
a shock hazard. When modules
are connected in series, voltages
are additive. When modules are
connected in parallel, current is
additive. Consequently, a
multi-
module system can produce high
voltages and current which
constitute an increased hazard
and could cause serious injury

death.

Avoid electrical hazards when
installing, wiring, operating and
maintaining the module.
A phofovolfaic module generates
DC electricity when exposed to
sunlight or other light sources.
When installing or working with
module or wiring, cover module
face completely with opaque
material to halt production of
electricity.

If
is recommended that the
module remains packed in the box
until time of installation.
Do not touch terminals while
module is exposed to light or
during installation. Provide
suitable guards to prevent contact
with 30VDC or greater. As an
added precaution, use properly
insulated tools only.
Do not drop module or allow
objects to fall on module.
Do not stand or step on module.
It must be assured that other
system
components do not
generate any hazard of any
mechanical or electrical nature
to
the module.
Since sparks may be produced, do
not install module
where
flammable gases or vapors are
present.
Never leave a module
unsupported or unsecured. If a
module should fall, the glass can
break.
A module with broken
glass cannot be repaired and must
not be used.
Work only under dry conditions,
with dry module and tools.
Module installation and operation
should be performed by qualified
personnel on/y. Children should
not be allowed near the solar
electric installation.
If
not otherwise specified, if is
recommended that requirements
of the latest local, national or
regional electric
codes be
followed,
Use module for its intended
function only. Follow all module
manufacturer’s instructions. Do
not dis-assemble the module, or
remove any part or label installed
by the manufacturer. Do not treat
the back sheet with paint or
adhesives.
Do not artificially concentrate
sunlight on
the
module.
Retain this instruction booklet for
future reference.
The word “module” as used in
this Guide refers to one or more
photovoltaic modules.
