Installation Safety - AEG GLASS-GLASS AS-M 3 Series Installation Manual

Do not drill holes in the frame as it may compromise its
strength, cause corrosion and void the warranty.
Do not use the junction box and cables as a grip.
Do not drop the module or allow objects to fall on the
module.
Do not place any heavy objects on the module to avoid
glass breakage.
Do not stand or step on the module.
Do not set the module down hard on a surface.
Do not attempt to repair a module with broken
glass or torn backsheet and do not use it as
contact with any module surface or the frame
could cause an electric shock.

2.3 Installation safety

Installing solar photovoltaic systems requires specialized
skills and knowledge. Photovoltaic solar modules are
designed for outdoor use, and may be ground mounted
as well as mounted on rooftops, vehicles or boats. The
proper design of support structures is a responsibility
of the system designer and installer. When installing
the system, abide with all local, regional and national
statutory regulations. Keep children away from the
installation site and during transportation and installation
of the electrical equipment.
Cover the module completely with a dark opaque
material during installation to prevent electricity
generation.
When working with modules without any cover, the
safety regulations for live electrical equipment need to
be followed. Use only equipment, connectors, wiring
and support frames suitable for use in a solar electric
installation.
Do not wear metallic rings, watchbands, ear, nose
or lip rings or other metallic devices while
installing or troubleshooting photovoltaic systems
in order to avoid electric shock.
Do not disconnect modules under load to avoid electrical
arcs.
Contact with electrically active parts of the modules, such
as terminals, can result in burns, sparks and lethal shock
whether or not the module is connected.
Do not insert electrically conductive parts into the plugs
and sockets.
Do not install solar modules and wiring with wet plugs
and sockets.
Exert extreme caution when carrying out any work on

the wiring. High contact voltages can generate in the
inverter when it is isolated.
Abide with the safety regulations for all the other
components used in the PV system, including wiring and
cables, connectors, charging regulators, inverters, storage
batteries and rechargeable batteries, etc
One individual module may generate DC voltages
greater than 30 V when exposed to light of any
intensity. Contact with a DC voltage of 30 V or
more is potentially hazardous. The series or parallel
connection of the modules increases the voltage or
electric current respectively. The electrical characteristics
are within the following tolerances of the indicated values
of Isc, Voc and Pmpp under standard test conditions
(irradiance of 1000 W/m², AM 1.5 spectrum, and a cell
temperature of 25 °C/77 °F).
For the tolerance of the individual module series, please
refer to the related Annexes.
Under normal conditions, a photovoltaic module is likely
to experience conditions that produce more current and/
or voltage than reported at standard test conditions.
Accordingly, depending on the local regulations, an
additional 1.25 multiplier for the Isc (giving a total
multiplier of 1.56) and Voc marked on the module when
determining component voltage ratings, conductor
current ratings, minimum factor of fuse sizes, and size of
controls.
Maximum reverse current ≤ Maximum series fuse rating
measurements reveal opposite polarity or a voltage
difference greater than 10V between the strings, check
their structural configuration before proceeding with the
connection.
2.4 Fire safety
AEG PV modules are tested according to the provisions
of IEC EN 61730 Directive with Application Class A
(equivalent to Safety Class II requirements). Fire safety
has been rated as Class A or Class C (please check the
corresponding solar module datasheet).
Please be aware that rooftop installations can
affect the fire safety of a building. A photovoltaic
system composed of IEC 61730-2 certified
modules mounted on a UL 61730 certified mounting
system should be evaluated in combination with roof
coverings with respect to meet the same fire
classification as the roof assembly.
Mounting systems with a system fire class rating
(Class A, B or C), tested in conjunction with fire class A
or C rated.
