Safety Guidelines

These general safety guidelines should be adhered to around all solar modules and inverters.
Please refer to the installation brochure your received at the time of installation  for safety instructions for your system.

  • Installation requires specialised skills and knowledge. The installer assumes all risk of injury, including risk of electric shock.
  • Contact with a large-scale PV system is potentially hazardous.
  • Each individual module will produce DC voltages greater than 30 volts when sufficient sunlight or other sources illuminate the module surface.
  • When the modules are connected in series, voltage is cumulative, when the modules are connected in parallel, current is cumulative.
  • High voltage and current present an increased risk of injury.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble or discard any components of the module.
  • Do not touch live wires/terminals located in the module junction box.
  • Do not expose solar module to sunlight that is concentrated with mirrors, lenses or similar means.
  • Do not stand on module.
