5.0 Maintenance

Solaria modules are virtually maintenance free. Following simple maintenance steps will ensure reliable production 

of DC electric power for the expected life of the product.

 

y

Inspect electrical and mechanical connections for safety and corrosion once every year.

 

y

Under most weather conditions, normal rainfall is sufficient to keep the module glass surface clean.

 

Š

Modules that are mounted at a small tilt angle will not self-clean as easily as modules that are mounted at 

large tilt angles. If dirt build-up becomes excessive, clean glass surface with water and soft cloth. Do not 

use harsh cleaning materials.

 

y

Cleaning the back surface of the module is not necessary for proper operation.
