Installation Safety
The installation process requires working on sloped and elevated building surfaces,
in outdoor weather conditions, using tools and heavy components designed for the
generation of electricity.
・ Use properly anchored fall protection equipment.
・ Use caution to prevent objects from falling or dropping off the roof area.
・ Cordon off ground areas directly beneath the roof work area when possible.
・ Always use personal protection equipment such as safety glasses, gloves, etc.
・ Do not perform installation in excessively wet, windy, or inclement weather
conditions.
・ When working in hot weather, work crews should take care to prevent symptoms
of over-heating or dehydration.
・ Use proper lifting and carrying techniques when handling heavy components at the
job site. If conditions are challenging for moving PV modules to the roof area, use
a mechanical lift.
・ Follow best practices when working around high-voltage electrical equipment.
・ Do not anchor fall protection equipment to roof mounts, or any other inappropriate
roof structure.
