The installation must be performed by a certified installer/servicer to ensure system integrity and safety.2. The installation is only allowed after referring andunderstanding of this INSTALLATION MANUAL. If you don’thave your personal copy, please contact your installer or localSHARP office listed in SHARP Solar web site :https://www.sharp.eu/3. Do not pull the PV cables.4. Do not touch any surface of PV module.5. Do not place/drop objects onto the PV modules.6. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the PV module byyourself.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 theinstaller/servicer to perform routine checks to determine thatthe PV modules are in safe and proper operating condition.10. When replacement parts are required, be sure theinstaller/servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer withsame characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorizedsubstitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazard.11. Consult your local building and safety department for requiredpermits and applicable regulations.12. As a result of sliding snow, the mechanical load increases whenthe number of PV module rows in the matrix of a PV installationincreases. When mounting the PV module in the portraitorientation for more than 3 rows, the accumulated snow loadmay cause the lower edge of the PV module frame to deform.Take necessary measures (e.g. snow stopper) to avoidpossible damage.13. Periodically remove any overhanging snow and/or ice from thePV module framework as it may cause deformation of the PVmodule frame.GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS1.
