In the world of Solar, PV Module Handling is one of the crucial subjects.
RenewSys has introduced the SGalactic and Extreme series of Solar PV Modules, or solar panels, made with 120, 140, and 156 half-cut Monocrystalline PERC Solar cells and Monocrystalline Bifacial PERC Solar cells, respectively.
The output range of these modern Large Format PV Modules is 430 Wp to 455 Wp for the 120-cell variant, 525 Wp to 550 Wp for the 144-cell variant, and 565 Wp to 590 Wp for the 156-cell variant.
Crafted with the finest quality raw materials and subjected to rigorous in-house testing, these versatile modules are suitable for various applications including Utility, Rooftop, and other general purposes. Read more about Large Format Modules.
With continuous technological refinement, 'Handling, Cleaning, and Maintenance' becomes a crucial subject. It affects the performance and life of the PV Modules to a great degree, hence, one needs to know the correct ways to do it!
Unloading of Larger Format Modules

Use a forklift to unload

Remove the wrapper

Remove the pet strap

Remove the top cover

Remove the inside wrapper

Place the stand

Hold modules when removing the final strap

Push towards the stand

Handle one module at a time

Place modules on the stand until the unpacking is complete
Precautions:
Use anti-cut gloves
Use scissors for cutting
Always ensure that the module is carried by two people
Do not use a knife
Do not carry a module alone by yourself
If not handled properly, it may lead to adverse conditions for PV modules, such as a drop in performance. Incorrect and improper handling of these modules can result in breakage, microcracks, and a loss of total module output, which could further escalate in hot, humid, and extreme climatic conditions. Hence, it is suggested that taking good care of your Solar PV Modules during handling, installation, and maintenance is important.
