1. SAFETY NOTICE
This Safety and Installation Manual provides import-
ant safety information relating to the installation,
maintenance and handling of Silfab SLA/SSA and
SLG/SSG modules. Professional installers, operation
& maintenance technicians, and system users/own-
ers should read this manual carefully and strictly
follow the instructions. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in death, injury or property
damage, and possible void of warranty.
Please keep this manual for future reference.
We recommend checking www.silfab.ca regularly for
the most updated version.
Warning: All instructions should be read and under-
stood before attempting to install, wire, operate
and/or maintain the module. Module interconnects
pass direct current (DC) when exposed to sunlight or
other light sources. Contact with electrically active
parts of the module, such as terminals, can result in
injury or death, whether the module is connected or
disconnected.
Avertissement: Toutes les instructions devront être
lues et comprises avant de procéder à l’installation, le
câblage, l’exploitation et/ou l’entretien des panneaux.
Les interconnexions des panneaux conduisent du
courant continu (CC) lorsque le panneau est exposé à
la lumière du soleil ou à d’autres sources lumineuses.
Tout contact avec des éléments sous tension du
panneau tels que ses bornes de sortie peut entraîner
des blessures ou la mort, que le panneau soit
connecté ou non.

3. GENERAL INFORMATION
Silfab Solar products produce electrical energy by
converting the sunlight’s radiation reaching their
surface, when appropriately exposed, into continu-
ous/direct current (DC).
The SLAxxxM and the SLGxxxM are similar in the
sense that both series employ Mono-Si Cells and are
different in the sense that the SLAxxxM contain 60
cells per module and the SLGxxxM contains 72 cells
per module. SLA and SSA models are the same,
except SSA model is using optimizer, and SLG and
SSG models are the same, except SSG model is
using optimizer. X series are similar to the SLAxxxM,
SLGxxxM, models with n-type Mono-Si Bi-facial cells.
3.1 Model Naming Overview:
S (S/L) (A/G) (xxx) (M/X)
Where:
S – Silfab brand
(S/L) – (S) Smart (L) Standard module & (B) Black
(A/G)- (A) is used to indicate 60-Cell modules and
(G) for 72-Cell modules.
(xxx) - indicates the power output in terms of
watts.
(M/X) – (M) is used to indicate monocrystalline cell
and (X) is used to indicate Bi-facial Cell type.
The rated currents at Standard Test Conditions (STC)
of these modules are variable depending on the
model and the relative power rating, as indicated in
the respective datasheets.
