INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL SOLAR MODULES Q.PEAK DUO XL-G9.2 – Q CELLS

20

Q CELLS solar modules are known for a long operating life and 
minimal maintenance effort and expense. Dirt and grime are 
usually washed away by rain. If the module is fully or partially 
shaded by dirt or debris (e.g., plants, bird droppings), it needs 
to be cleaned to prevent a loss of performance.

Maintenance

 

Ä

The PV system has to be inspected regularly by certified 
personnel

 

Ä

The time intervals and extent of the inspection can depend on 
local circumstances (e.g. salt, ammonia content in the air, high 
humidity etc.). The customer / operator must inform himself 
about time intervals and extend of necessary inspections.

 

Ä

Inspections have to be performed especially after extraordinary 
events (e.g. storm, hail, high snow loads etc.)

 

Ä

During the inspections it has to be checked that the compo-
nents are secure, undamaged and clean

Cleaning

WARNING! 
Risk of injury due to hot and live modules!

 

Ä

Only clean modules that have cooled down.

 

Ä

Do not carry or wear any electrically conductive parts.

WARNING! 
Risk of falling due to unsecured access! 

 

Ä

Never access the installation area alone or without taking 
adequate security precautions.

 

Ä

Please commission a trade specialist.

NOTE! 
Module surface damage may occur! 

 

Ä

Remove snow and ice carefully without force (e.g. with a 
very soft broom).

 

Ä

Do not scratch off dirt.

 

Ä

Rinse dirt (dust, leaves, etc.) off with lukewarm water or use, 
only for the glass surface, an alcohol-based glass cleaner. 
Do not use abrasive detergents or surfactants for any part 
of the panel.

 

Ä

Use a soft cellulose cloth (kitchen roll) or sponge to carefully 
wipe off stubborn dirt. Do not use micro fleece wool or 
cotton cloths.

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) can be used selectively to remove 
stubborn dirt and stains within one hour after emergence.

 

Ä

Please follow the safety guidelines provided by the IPA 
manufacturer.

 

Ä

Do not let IPA run down between the module and the frame 
or into the module edges.

Note! Module damage may occur!

 

Ä

Do not clean modules with water if there is a 
risk of frost.

8  MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

 

Ä

Free the substructure from any dirt and debris 
(leaves, bird nests, etc.).

 

Ä

Remove dirt with lukewarm water or alcohol-
based glass cleaner, a broom, or a soft cloth.

 

Ä

Do not use surfactants, rotating brushes, 
scrapers, or any high-pressure water cleaning 
equipment.
