MAINTENANCE
In order to maintain the optimum
output of the module, please con-
duct periodic inspection.
It is also recommended to inspect
the electrical and mechanical con-
nections annually.
If you need electrical or mechanical
inspection or maintenance, it is rec-
ommended to have a licensed au-
thorized professional carry out the
inspection or maintenance to avoid
the hazards of electric shock or inju-
ry.
ANTI-REFLECTION GLASS SUR-
FACE CLEANING
Light dirt that does not shield light
completely does not significantly
degrade power generation perfor-
mance, but if the module surface
becomes dirty, it may reduce output
power.
It is recommended to clean the sur-
face of the module with water and
a soft cloth or sponge.
When cleaning with neutral glass
detergent or weak alkaline glass
detergent, it is recommended to
start with smallest area and from
the edge of solar modules in order
to check no damage occurs to the
glass.
After that, clean surface of glass
with wet and clean cloth.
Recommended detergent: "Glass
Magiclean"

or "Windex® Original"

It is recommended to read carefully
the manuals of detergent and un-
derstand notes on usage and first-
aid treatment.
To remove persistent dirt, the mod-
ule can be washed with a micro-
fiber cloth and ethanol.
Never use abrasive detergent,
strong alkaline detergent, strong
acid detergent or a detergent which
forms a protective layer on the sur-
face of the glass to clean any part of
the module. The performance of a
solar modules may be reduced.
Please be very careful since the war-
ranty will not cover the damages
caused by detergents.
