Step 01: Special instructions before unpacking 

CS7N & CS7L modules are packed vertically in portrait orientation using an innovative packaging system. 

1) For rooftop projects: NOTE! It is not allowed to carry the original unpacked pallet onto the roof. Please unpack 

the pallet, take the modules out one by one, and then carry them to the roof horizontally as depicted in image A 

or B shown as below, or other methods which ensure module safety. 

2) For other projects:  In case the modules are unpacked and laid horizontally on a flat surface, the number of 

stacked modules should  not be more than 18. Additionally it should be ensured that the modules rest on the 

frame of the subjacent module.  

3) Unpacking rack: an unpacking rack or tools must be used to ensure a safe unpacking of the modules. Safety 

gloves, helmet and safety shoes should be worn during unpacking the modules.

Step 02: Place the pallets on flat ground 

Please place pallets on flat ground. Ground inclination should not exceed 4°. 

Flat ground

Please make sure the longer side 
of the wooden pallet is parallel to 
the slope 

Attention: 

In desert areas, special care should be taken to prevent the bottom sand from running off, in which case the 

modules can tilt heavily or even collapse.

Step 04: Assembling of unpacking rack 

Assembling process: 

Step 3.1: Insert cross-bar ④ into vertical strut ③. 
 

Step 3.3: Put the crossbar side of inclined strut ① in the slot of the base ②. Align 

the holes on both inclined strut ① and vertical strut ③. Insert stainless steel 

tube ⑥ into the holes and fix with screws. 
 
 

See step 7 
See step 6 

Step 3.2: Align the holes in vertical strut ③ with 

those in base ②. Insert stainless steel tube ⑥ into 

the holes and fix with screws.

Step 05: Select the side to face the unpacking rack 

Find the side with the printed logo of the unpacking rack and face it towards the rack. 

Step 06: Select position based on different slope 

Adjust the right angle of the rack according to the slope towards the side with the printed rack logo. Insert the 

base lock ⑦ and secure with screws. 

Position ①                ②           ③          ④ 

Attention: 
• 
The logo is only printed on one side of the 
pallet 

Attention: 

• 
The four position on the base correspond with 

positions: ① = 0-2 degrees, ② = 4-6 degrees, ③ = 6-

8 degrees, ④ = 8-10 degrees of the slope 

respectively 
• 
Suggested angle of module pallet range: 4-8°

Step 07: Insert unpacking rack 

Insert the unpacking rack from the side with the printed rack logo under the wooden pallet. Then, put the “L” 

shape lock ⑤ into base ② of wooden pallet to prevent rack from moving away from the module pallet. 

Attention: 

• 
No unpacking operation shall be carried out when the wind speed is above 40 km/h 

• 
Please save the lock for wooden pallet for repeated use. 
 

Step 08: Remove the wrapping film 

Tear off all the shrink-wrap film covering the box except for the top cover. 

Step 09: Remove outer packing straps 

Cut off all the packing straps outside the packing box.

Step 11: Open the carton 

Open the carton from the “Unpack here” corner. Fold the other three sides back. 

Step 12: Remove the inner packing straps, push the modules towards the 

unpacking rack 

First, cut the horizontal straps and keep the vertical straps. Please stand on both sides of the pallet. 

Cut 2 of the 4 vertical straps (on each side). 

Push the modules to the rack, cut all remaining straps, and remove the tape. 

Cut horizontal 
straps 

Attention: 
• 
Ensure no one else is standing next to the 
pallet prior to removing the top cover. 

Attention: 

• 
Please start with “Unpack here”. 
• 
The other three sides are suggested to be 
torn off (when the wind is strong). 

Attention: 

• 
Take additional care when cutting 
straps; strap may recoil. 
• 
Please hold the pallet while cutting 
the vertical straps 

Cut 4 vertical 
straps and push 
modules to the 
rack 

Cut all the 
straps

Step 13: Take out the modules one by one 

Once the package is opened, please take out modules one by one until empty. 

Place the modules horizontally on the pallets: 

Two wooden pallets can be jointed as below, and a carton padded above it. 

Make sure the bottom module’s front side looks upwards, and the rest of the modules’ front side downward. 

Note: For the rooftop project, it is recommended to order a special pallet for better placement and transportation. 

Take precautions against rain and moisture.
