7.3 Additional Third-party Grounding Devices
Xtremesolar Modules can be grounded using third party grounding devices so long as they certified for
grounding Modules and the devices are installed according to the manufacturer's specified instructions.
8. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
It is required to perform regular inspection and maintenance of the Modules, especially within warranty
scope. It is the user's responsibility to report to the supplier regarding the damages found within 2 weeks.
8.1 Cleaning
The dust accumulated on the front transparent substrate may reduce the power output, and may even
cause regional hot-spot effect. The industrial effluents or bird drops may be serious, and the extent of the
severity depends on the transparency of the foreign objects. It's usually not dangerous for the accumulated
dust to reduce the sunshine, because the light intensity is still homogeneous and the power reduction is not
usually obvious.
When Modules are working, there should not be environmental influence factors to cast shadows and cover
part or even all of the Modules, such as other Modules, system support, bird drops and a lot of dust, clay or
plant and so on, these may distinctly reduce the power output. SFCE advises that there should be no
obstructed object over the Modules surface at any time.
