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://www.sharp-world.com/solar

3. Do not pull the PV cables.

4. Do not touch any surface of 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. In regions with snow, the module can sustain a snow load of up

to 50cm (when the module is mounted in the portrait orientation

/ short frame side facing down) or 100cm (when the module is

mounted in the landscape orientation / long frame side facing

down).

13. As a result of sliding snow, the mechanical load increases when

the number of module rows in the matrix of a PV installation

increases. When mounting the module in the portrait orientation

for more than 3 rows, the accumulated snow load may cause

the lower edge of the module frame to deform. Take necessary

measures (e.g. snow stopper) to avoid possible damage.

14. Periodically remove any overhanging snow and/or ice from the

module framework as it may cause deformation of the 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.

2. COMPONENTS

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 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

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.

In case of extreme snow build-up, the weight of the snow The frame grounding must consider the local requirement and may cause the module’s frame to deform. Take appropriate regulation at the installation site. When grounding is required, preventive measures to minimize any possible resulting please refer to below example connection (Figure 3).
