PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
Due to the safety concerns involved with working at heights and working with electricity, we recommend the
householder follow the maintenance schedule provided below. Other maintenance should be performed by a
suitably qualified person, such as a Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited installer.
Modules supplied by Solahart have been designed for easy maintenance. Normal rainfall should naturally
clean the modules. The need for cleaning will vary with the location of the installation, amount of rainfall,
pollution and inclination of the modules.
