the same series is forced to flow
through the shaded area. This may
cause undesirable heating to occur.
•
The use of a diode to bypass the
shaded area can minimize both heating
and array current reduction.
•
Modules are equipped with four (4)
factory installed bypass diodes. The
factory-installed diodes provide proper
circuit protection for the systems within
the specified system voltage, so that
you do not need any other additional
bypass diodes.
MAINTENANCE
•
Some maintenance is recommended to
maintain optimal output performance of
the HIT Double solar modules.
•
When a module’s front or back surface
becomes dirty, power output is reduced.
•
It is recommended to clean the front
surface of the module with water and a
soft cloth or sponge, twice or more per
year. It is recommended to clean the
back surface as needed.
•
A mild non-abrasive detergent may be
applied for persistent dirt.
•
It is also recommended to inspect the
electrical and mechanical connections
annually.
•
If you need electrical or mechanical
inspection
or
maintenance, it
is
recommended to have a licensed
authorized professional carry out the
inspection or maintenance to avoid the
hazards of electric shock or injury.
