TECH NOTE

Anti-corrosion coated steel is steel coated

with a layer consisting primarily of zinc

plus another metal, such as aluminum or

magnesium.

After it is cut, mild corrosion develops initially

at the cut surface, but then the components

of the coating layer dissolve to form a stable

protective layer over the cut.

POINTS TO CHECK BEFORE INSTALLATION WORK

WARNING

• The solar modules generate electricity when exposed to sunlight, so be careful not to short circuit the output cables.

If shorted, the cables can become overheated and their cable sheaths can melt.

• S

top working when the surface of the roof is wet. There is a danger of slipping, falling, and shock.

CAUTION

• Never step or sit on the glass surface of the solar modules. The glass may break.

• Do not twist the solar modules when you mount them (twisting should not exceed 0.1" per 4"). Failures and damage

can result.

• W

hen you mount the solar modules on the rail, never allow an output cable to become caught between the rail and a

module frame. Short circuits and ﬁre can result.

5.1 UNPACKING AND CHECKING PARTS
