The solar system can operate at extremely high temperatures. Please do not attempt
to decommission the system yourself, as there is a risk of serious injury.
There is also a risk of electrocution from 240VaC electricity.
1. Always wear appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment such as gloves
and eye protection.
2. Even if the pipework near the cylinder
seems cool, the panels can be at high
temperature. Decommissioning should
therefore only be attempted when there
is no solar input, or the panels should
be covered with light proof covers and
left for at least 5 hours.
3. Turn off the switched fused spur and
remove the fuse. Leave the fuse holder
open and use a padlock or similar to
lock it open. Leave a conspicuous sign
stating the power should not be recon-
nected.
4. Connect a short length of hose to the
drain point situated at the lowest point
of the system and place in a suitably
sized container
– do not drain into the
public sewerage system. Antifreeze
liquid must be disposed of correctly.
5. Open the check valve.
6. Slowly open the drain tap. When the
initial low created by pressure has
stopped, open the air-vent at the top of
the solar panels.
7. When the luid has inished draining,
disconnect the pipework starting at the
upper part of the system. Caution
–
there may still be luid in the pipework.
8. Dispose of any materials correctly.
9. Panels should only be removed by
qualiied professionals using appropri-
ate access and safety equipment.
The law requires employers to appoint one or more competent persons to assist them in identifying and implementing
the preventive and protective measures required.
