6 FAQs about [How to unpack and inspect photovoltaic panels]
How do you know if a photovoltaic module is bad?
Where cells have become shiny or changed colour locally, cells have a poor or degrading anti-reflective coating which is an indicator of poor module performance. “IEC 61215: Crystalline silicon terrestrial photovoltaic (PV) modules - Design qualifications and type approval 2nd Edition,” International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, 2005.
How do I know if my PV modules have been shipped?
Before you unpack your modules, check the shipping label to ensure you received the right modules. Once you unpack your modules, check the module frame serial number and model label against the shipping label. The serial number is the unique identifier of each PV module.
How to unpack JA Solar modules?
Store pallets in a ventilated, rain-proof and dry location until the modules are ready to be unpacked. Please unpack the package of JA Solar modules according to “JA Solar Modules Unpacking Instruction”. Do not lift the modules by grasping the module’s junction box or electrical leads in any condition.
Which materials should be used to install photovoltaic modules?
JA Solar recommends that when installing modules at the seaside, stainless steel or aluminum materials should be used to contact the photovoltaic modules, and the installation parts should be well protected from corrosion. The tilt angle of the modules is measured between the surface of the modules and a horizontal ground surface.
Can you walk on a LONGi Solar PV module?
DO NOT stand or walk on PV modules. Prior to beginning installation, review the Installation Manual for LONGi Solar PV Modules. Do not carry a module alone; always use two people to lift and carry. Do not drill holes in the frame of the module.
Are photovoltaic modules dangerous?
Photovoltaic modules can produce DC electricity when exposed to light and therefore can produce an electrical shock or burn. DC voltage of 30 Volts or higher is potentially lethal. Modules produce voltage even when are not connected to an electrical circuit or load. Please use insulated tools and rubber gloves when working with modules in sunlight.
