How to handle and install photovoltaic solar modules correctly
Summary
The installation of a photovoltaic system does not begin on the roof: it begins with the correct handling and compliance with best practices in the assembly of the modules.
Incorrect handling can compromise efficiency, reduce the useful life of the panel or even invalidate the warranty.

1. How to handle forms
- Never lift by the glass: always hold the panel by the aluminium sides of the frame.
- Avoid knocks or twisting: even invisible micro-cracks can reduce performance over time.
- Wear gloves: to avoid fingerprints or scratches.
- Transport vertically: on well-balanced pallets, with shock-absorbing spacers.
2. During assembly
- Never walk on the panels, even temporarily.
- Check the orientation and tilt to optimise production.
- Electrical connections: always check the MC4 connectors and check the polarity.
- Tighten without excessive force: avoid twisting the frame by tightening the bolts correctly.
3. After installation
- Initial cleaning only with demineralised water and soft cloths.
- Check the electrical parameters at no load (Voc) to ensure that everything is working as expected.
- Document the installation: photos and serial numbers will help in the event of future warranty claims.
