Document Number: MAN-SFO-15 | SAFETY AND INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULES
SIL-XXX NL, SIL-XXX ML, SIL-XXX BL, SIL-XXX XL and SIL-
XXX HL are 1700 x 1000 mm modules. SIL-XXX BK are
1795 x 990 mm modules. SIL-XXX NX are 1832 x 1000.
SIL-XXX NT and SIL-XXX MT are 1992 x 994 mm mod-
ules. SIL-XXX NU, SIL-XXX HU, and SIL-XXX OP are 2026
x 1006 mm modules. XXX indicates the power output in
terms of watts.
3.1 Model Naming Overview:
SIL-XXX M(X)/N(X)/B(X)/X(X)/H(X) Where:
SIL – Silfab brand
XXX - indicates the power bin in watts
M/N/B/X/H is used to indicate technology, e.g. M =
mono M2. N = mono M3. B = back-contact. X = bifa-
cial. H = mono half-cell. (X) to indicate size. L=1700x-
1000mm, A=1650x990mm, T=1992x994mm, G=1970
x 990mm, U=2026x1006mm, K=1795x990mm,
X = 1832 x 1000.
3.2 Electrical Specications
The performance and all photovoltaic parameters of
the modules are measured under two dierent condi-
tions: (1) Standard Test Conditions (STC) and (2) Normal
Operating Cell Temperature (NOCT). Detailed electrical
characteristics for all PV modules are presented in our
products’ DATASHEET and www.silfabsolar.com.
3.3 Disclaimer of Liability
Since the methods of system design, installation tech-
niques, handling and use of this product are beyond
company control; Silfab Solar Inc. does not assume
responsibility and expressly disclaims liability, for loss,
damage or expense resulting from improper installa-
tion, handling or use.
4. PRODUCT CERTIFICATION
All Silfab products have certied by UL 1703 and ULC
ORD C1703 for PV Modules. A list of products including
SIL-XXX NL, SIL-XXX BL, SIL-XXX HL, SIL-XXX NT, SIL-XXX
HU, SIL-XXX NU, SIL-XXX BK and SIL-XXX-NX have UL
61215-1/-1-1/-2, UL 61730-1/-2 certications.
These UL and IEC to be freestanding. To satisfy the listing
for this product the modules must be mounted with a
rack or stando structure. The UL and IEC listing does not
include integration into a building surface because addi-
tional requirements may apply. The module is considered
to be in compliance with UL 1703 and/or IEC 61215/61730
only when the module is mounted in the manner specied
by the mounting instructions contained in this document.
1. SAFETY NOTICE
This Safety and Installation Manual provides important
safety information relating to the installation, mainte-
nance and handling of Silfab SIL series modules mod-
ules. Professional installers, operation & maintenance
technicians, and system users/owners should read this
manual carefully and strictly follow the instructions. Fail-
ure to follow these instructions may result in death, in-
jury or property damage, and possible void of warranty.
Please keep this manual for future reference.
We recommend checking www.silfabsolar.com regular-
ly for the most updated version.
Warning: All instructions should be read and understood
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 panneau
solaire. Les interconnexions des panneau solaire conduis-
ent 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 modules convert the energy of light directly into
continuous/direct current (DC) by the photovoltaic eect.
SIL series consisted of dierent modules in the sense of
cell number, contact technology, and module size.
