2.7 Do not disassemble, modify or adapt the module such as drilling holes in the frame or glass. Do
not apply paint or adhesive to the module rear surface.
2.8 Do not remove any part or labeling installed by Grape Solar from the module. Doing so will
void the module warranty.
2.9 Keep all electrical contacts of module clean and dry. Do not handle modules when they are wet
unless wearing the appropriate protective equipment.
2.10 Do not leave a module unsupported or unsecured.
2.11 There are no user serviceable parts within the module. Do not attempt to repair any part of the
module. Broken or damaged modules must not be used and must be handled carefully and
disposed of properly since the broken glass can be sharp and cause bodily injury if not handled
with the appropriate protective equipment, and contact with any surface or the frame of the
broken module can result in electrical shock.
3. Installation Safety
3.1 All installations must be performed in compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and
any applicable local codes by authorized personnel. If the module is installed in Canada,

Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.
3.2 Keep children away from module and the system when installing.
3.3 Do not wear metallic jewelry while performing mechanical or electrical installation of modules
to avoid accidental exposure to live circuits.
3.4 When working with modules exposed to light, follow all applicable regulations regarding
working with live electrical equipment.
3.5 Do not install or handle the modules when they are wet or during periods of high wind.
3.6 Do not install modules where contact with salt water is likely or where modules are likely to
become partially or wholly submerged in fresh or salt water, examples of which include boats,
docks and buoys.
