1. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
•The installation, handling anduse of Trina Solar crystallinemodules arebeyond company control. TrinaSolar
doesnotassumeanyresponsibilityforloss,damage,injuryorexpenseresultingfromtheimproperinstallation,
handling, use or maintenance.
•Trina Solar assumes no responsibility for any infringement of patents or other rights of third parties that may
result from use of the module. No license is granted by implication or under any patent or patent rights.
•Specifications included in this manual are subject to change without prior notice.
2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•PotentiallylethalDCvoltagescanbegeneratedwheneverPVModulesareexposedtoalightsource,therefore,
avoidcontactwithelectricallyactivepartsandbesuretoisolatelivecircuitsbeforeattemptingtomakeorbreak
any connections.
•Only authorized and trained personnel should have access or perform work on the modules or solar system,
always wearing rubber gloves and boots with maximum working voltage not lower than 1500V DC
•When working on electrical connections, remove all metallic jewelry, use properly insulated tools and wear
appropriate personal protective equipment to reduce the risk of electric shock.
•Do NOT stand or step on, damage or scratch the front or backside surfaces of the module.
•Brokenmodulescannotberepairedandcontactwithanymodulesurfaceorframecanleadtoelectricalshock.
Do NOT use a module with broken glass or torn substrate.
•Do NOT disassemble the modules or remove any part of the module.
•Protect the electrical plug contacts against corrosion and soiling. Make sure that all connectors are corrosion
free and clean before making the connection.
•Do NOT install or handle modules when they are wet or during periods of high wind.
•Ensure that all connections are securely made with no gap between the contacts. Any gap can result in
electrical arcing that can cause a fire hazard and/or an electric shock.
•Make sure that the polarity of each module or a string is not reversed considering the rest of the modules or
strings.
•Do NOT artificially concentrate sunlight on these solar modules.
•TrinaSolarmodulesarecertifiedforoperatinginApplicationClassAinstallationsatvoltagesbelow1500VDC.
Thismaximumvoltageshouldnotbeexceededatanytimeand,asthevoltageofthemoduleincreases,above
data sheet values, at operating temperatures below 25°C, then these need to be taken into account when
designing a PV system.
•Maximum system voltage must not exceed 1500V DC.
•Do NOT use water to extinguish fires of an electrical origin.
•Do NOT walk on the modules.
•Do NOT disconnect the modules under load to avoid arcs and electrical shocks. If needed cover the module
surface with an opaque cover.
•For modules under IEC investigation, under normal conditions, a solar photovoltaic module is likely to
experience conditions that produce more current and/or voltage than reported at standard test conditions.
Accordingly, the values of Isc and Voc marked on this module should be multiplied by a factor of 1.25 when
determining component voltage ratings, conductor current ratings, fuse sizes and size of controls connected
to the PV output.
•Any module or panel mounting system has limitations on specific inclination required to maintain a specific
System Fire Class Rating.
•Where common grounding hardware (nuts, bolts, star washers, spilt-ring lock washers, flat washers and the
like) is used to attach a listed grounding/bonding device, the attachment must be made in conformance with
the grounding device manufacturer's instructions.
•Common hardware items such as nuts, bolts, star washers, lock washers and the like have not been
evaluated for electrical conductivity or for use as grounding devices and should be used only for
maintaining mechanical connections and holding electrical grounding devices in the proper position for
electrical conductivity.
•Rated electrical characteristics are within ±10 percent of measured values at Standard Test Conditions of
