MPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
All instructions must be read and understood before attempting to install, wire, operate, or maintain a PV system.
Failure to read and comply with any of the limitations noted herein can result in property damage, serious bodily
injury, or death.
Abide by local, regional, and national statutory regulations when installing the system, and obtain a building permit
if necessary. Consult your local authority for guidelines and requirements for building or structural fire safety.
NOTE TO TRAINED PROFESSIONALS
Solar Roof requires specialized skills and knowledge. Use qualified personnel for installation. The installer
assumes the risk of all injury that might occur during installation, including, without limitation, the risk of electric
shock.
DANGER: Solar Roof is slippery and is a fall hazard. Only access a Solar Roof with appropriate safety equipment and while
wearing personal fall protection equipment. Use fall protection when working from heights of 6 feet (183 cm) or
above. Follow Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) or local governing safety regulations regarding Fall
Protection.
An approved and safe walking platform should be used when accessing the roof to prevent falls, and damage to
the roof. In addition, skylights, roof openings and light transfer panels must be covered with approved covering to
prevent falls.
Solar Roof is engineered to safely withstand applicable live loads required by building code for steep slope
applications. However, to ensure safety and maintain maximum roof life, walking on a Solar Roof should
be avoided except by trained Solar Roof installation professionals and first responders. This is a common
recommendation for other high -end roof types, including slate, clay, concrete, and composite tile products.
In the event of a fire at the premises, rapid shutdown equipment in the array will reduce voltages and control
the hazard for firefighter operations. Nevertheless the array wiring should be treated as potentially dangerous,
especially if it is damaged by heat or flames. Inform the fire crew about the particular hazards from the PV system,
and stay away from all elements of the PV system during and after a fire until the necessary steps have been
taken to make the PV system safe.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Use equipment, connectors, and wiring suitable for solar electric systems. Use insulated tools that are
approved for working on electrical installations. Do not open electrical connections or unplug connectors while
the circuit is under load.
• Do not use PV Modules near equipment or in places where flammable liquid, gases, or other hazardous
materials are located.
DANGER: Work under dry conditions and use dry tools. Do not handle PV Modules under wet conditions unless
wearing appropriate protective equipment or attempt to make an electrical connection with wet, soiled, or
otherwise faulty connectors.
• PV Modules and wiring cannot interact with metallic objects. Do not wear metallic rings, watchbands,
earrings, nose rings, lip rings, or other metallic objects while installing or troubleshooting PV systems.
DANGER: PV Modules and wiring cannot interact with metal flashings. Once energized, all components of the Solar
Roof photovoltaic DC circuit, including the Diode Harness, all conductors, and the Pass Through Box must
remain in isolation from metal (lashings. The PV array must be buffered by non -energy generating Roofing
tiles, which are designated in the project plan set. Never locate PV Modules at true edge conditions, such as
in first row at the eave or in the top two rows at the ridge. Never locate PV Modules on the mounting plane
where they may contact transition, headwall, obstruction or valley flashings.
Prevent damage to PV Modules. Wear non -slip gloves when carrying PV Modules and exercise caution
when transporting and installing PV Modules. Do not lift any module by the module's junction box or electrical
leads. Do not drop PV Modules or allow objects to fall on modules. Do not leave a module unsupported or
unsecured. A damaged PV Module cannot be repaired and must not be used. Do not use a PV Module with
broken glass.
• Do not disassemble or modify PV Modules in any way. Do not apply paint or adhesive to any module top
surface or backsheet. Doing so may degrade performance or cause irreparable damage and will void any
applicable warranties.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
• The operating temperature must be within -40°C (40 °F) to 85°C (185 °F).
• Do not install modules above 13,120 ft (4,000 m) altitude above sea level.
DANGER: A PV Module may experience conditions that produce more current and/or voltage than reported at standard
test conditions. Follow the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in Article 690 to address these
increased outputs. In installations not under the requirements of the NEC, multiply the values of Isc and Voc
marked on the Solar Roof PV Modules by a factor of 1.25 when determining component voltage ratings,
conductor ampacities, overcurrent device ratings, and size of controls connected to the PV output.

SOLAR ROOF SYSTEM OVERVIEW
A Solar Roof functions in fundamentally the same way as traditional roof -mounted PV systems.
Sunlight is converted to DC electricity at each individual module. Individual modules are connected in series using diode harnesses to
form a complete PV "string." One or more strings connect in parallel at a typical string inverter to convert power to AC.

STRING TESTING PROCEDURE
KLEIN BRAND DIGITAL MULTIMETER
REQUIRED TOOLS
A Digital Multi -Meter with a 10 MOhm input impedance is required to measure Voc before and after each Mid -Circuit Interrupter. It is
recommended to use a Klein brand clamp meter since all Klein products provide a 10 MOhm input impedance. Fluke meters, which
provide only a 1 MOhm input impedance are not compatible with the Tesla Inverter and Tesla MCI components.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION
Determine the assumed voltage of a single tile, in this case 13.34 Volts. Voltage may vary depending on temperature and shading
conditions. Measure each sub -string as it is installed (a sub -string is defined as modules between MCls). Log the Voc values on the
string layout diagram. Note conditions (temperature, partly cloudy, cloudy, sunny) in the form.
