INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing SANYO HIT PV
modules. With proper operation and
maintenance, SANYO HIT PV modules
will provide you with clean, renewable
solar electricity for many years.
Retain this manual for reference. This
manual contains important information
about installation, maintenance and
safety.
Please retain it for future reference.

General Information

The installation of solar modules requires
a great degree of skill and should only be
performed by qualified licensed
professional, including, without limitation,
licensed contractors and licensed
electricians.
W A R N I N G
All instructions should be read
and understood before attempting to
install, wire operate and maintain the
photovoltaic module. Contact with
electrically active parts of the module
such as terminals can result in burns,
sparks, and lethal shock whether the
module is connected or
disconnected.
The installer assumes the risk of
all injury that might occur during
installation, including, without

limitation, the risk of electric shock.
PV modules generate DC
electrical energy when exposed to
sunlight or other light sources.
Although single modules produce
only a low voltage and current,
shocks and burns are still a potential
hazard.
To avoid the hazard of electric
shock and injury, cover all over the
front surface of PV modules with a
dense opaque material such as the
cardboard box during installing and
handling modules.
The shock hazard increases as
modules are connected in parallel
producing higher current. The
shock hazard increases as modules
are connected in series producing
higher voltages.
To avoid the hazard of electric
shock, work only under dry
conditions, with dry module and
tools.
Do not stand or step on a
module to avoid the hazard of injury
and the damage to a module.
Do not damage the back sheet of
a module, to avoid the hazard of
electric shocks and fire.
To avoid the hazard of electric
shock and injury, Children and
unauthorized persons should not be
allowed near the installation of the
solar cell modules.
To avoid the hazard of electric
shock and injury, be sure to ground
the modules completely.
To avoid the hazard of electric
shock, fire and injury, do not
disassemble the module, or remove
any part installed by the
manufacturer.
Unauthorized persons except
the qualified licensed professional
should not open the cover of the
junction box to avoid the hazard of
electric shock.
Do not touch terminals while a
module(s) is exposed to light.
Provide suitable guards to prevent
yourself contacting directly with 30
VDC or greater to avoid the hazard of
electric shock or injury.
When carrying a module, more
than two persons should carry it by
the frame and wear non-slip gloves to
avoid the hazard of injury by slipping
1
down the module on a foot or cutting
by an edge of the frame and so on.
Do not carry a module by wire or
junction box to avoid the hazard of
electric shock and injury or any
troubles in a module, which it may
cause.
Do not drop anything on the
surfaces of modules to avoid the
hazard of electric shock and injury or
any troubles that it may cause.
To avoid the hazard of electric
shock and fire, be sure that other
system components do not cause
any hazard of any mechanical or
electrical nature to the module.
Since sparks may be generated,
do not install module where
flammable gases or vapors are
present.
Never leave a module
unsupported or unsecured.
drop module and do not allow
objects to fall on module to avoid the
hazard of injury or any troubles in
modules that it may cause.
Do not use or install broken
modules to avoid the hazard of
electric shock and injury.
Do not artificially concentrate
sunlight on module to avoid the
hazard of fire or any trouble.
Do not touch the Junction box
terminals to avoid the hazard of
electric shock and injury.
Do not change wiring of bypass
diodes to avoid the hazard of electric
shock and injury.
CAUT IONS
Use module for its intended
function only.
Do not treat the back sheet and
front surface with paint or adhesives
to avoid any troubles.
