IEC 61215 and UL 1703 when mounted as speci-
fied in the instructions in ANNEX B. Any module

red to comply with the requirements of UL 1703
unless the module is mounted with hardware
that has been tested and evaluated with the mo-
dule under this standard or by a field Inspection
certifying that the installed module complies
with the requirements of UL 1703.
· Double glass modules can be mounted to a

MAINTENANCE
· Do not make modifications to any component
of the PV module (diode, junction box, plug
connectors or others).
· Regular maintenance is required to keep
modules clear of snow, bird droppings, seeds,
pollen, leaves, branches, dirt spots, and dust.
· Modules with sufficient tilt (at least 15°),
generally do not require cleaning (rain will have
a self-cleaning effect). If the module has become
soiled, it shall be washed with water and a non-
abrasive cleaning brush or sponge during the
cool part of the day. Do not scrape or rub dry dirt
away, as this may cause micro scratches.
· Snow should be removed using a soft brush.
· Periodically inspect the system to check the
integrity of all wiring and supports.
· To protect against electric shock or injury,
electrical or mechanical inspections and
maintenance should be performed by qualified
personnel only.
· Please refer to our Installation Manual Annex
of standard solar modules (Section Annex
D: Module Cleaning Guideline) for more
information on this topic.
