Are Trina Solar solar modules corrosive?

Salt spray corrosion tests conducted in accordance with IEC 61701 have shown that Trina Solar's PV modules can be installed near offshore or in the corrosive environment. However, the modules shall not be immersed in water or in a permanently wet environment (e.g., fountains, spindrift, etc.).

How do you protect a Trina Solar PV module?

Cover the front surface of modules by an opaque material when repairing. Modules when exposed to sunlight generate high voltage and are dangerous. Trina Solar PV modules are equipped with bypass diodes in the junction box. This minimizes module heating and current losses.

Are Trina Solar panels ul 61730 certified?

TUV Rheinland IEC 61730 certification assures Trina Solar panels are tested for safety against electrical shock, fire and other potential hazards. UL 61730 certification covers flat-plate photovoltaic panels and modules that comply with the National Electric Code, National Fire Prevention Association and Model Building Codes.

Do Trina Solar modules need a transformer?

When installed in systems governed by IEC regulations, Trina Solar modules normally do not need to be electronically connected to earth and therefore can be operated together with either galvanically isolated (with transformer) and transformerless inverters.

Can a loose connection damage a Trina Solar PV module?

Loose connections will result in damage to the array. This manual covers the requirements for the cleaning procedures of Trina Solar PV modules. Professional installers should read these guidelines carefully and strictly follow these instructions.

Is a Trina Solar PV module ul1703 compliant?

The fire rating of a Trina Solar PV module is valid only when mounted in the manner specified in the mechanical mounting instructions of this installation manual. The module is considered to be in compliance with UL1703 only when the module is mounted in the manner specified by the mounting instructions below.
