Operations management
Calyxo CdTe solar modules have a long service life and require minimal maintenance work. Normally,
light soiling is reliably washed away by rainfall. However, additional cleaning is necessary if the module
is shaded by coarse soiling (such as plants, bird droppings, dust) and self-cleaning from rain no longer
suffices. Soiling can reduce the performance of the module and also cause damage by causing reverse
currents.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The modules should only be cleaned when the module temperatures fall between 10°C and 30°C;
for example, in the early morning or late evening. Do not wear any conductive pieces or clothing.
Never enter the installation area alone and without protection. We recommend commissioning a
specialist company with this work. Ask your installer about this on-site.
TROUBLESHOOTING
As system operator: Do not attempt to resolve the disruption on your own!
In the event of disruptions or damaged modules (such as cracked or broken glass or damaged cables or
contacts), immediately contact your installer. Your installer needs to ensure that the module is removed
from the system as quickly as possible.
WARNING!
Danger of injury due to heated modules under voltage!
WARNING!
Danger of falling from rooftop systems and building-integrated installations!
WARNING!
Danger of death due to electric shock! Damaged module components may be
hazardous!
