7 FAULTS
Q CELLS solar modules are characterised by a long service life
and minimal maintenance. In most cases, dirt is washed off by
rain. Cleaning is necessary if the modules are partially shadowed
by coarse dirt (e.g. plants, bird excrement), as this may reduce
their power.
Maintenance
Ä
Have the system checked by an installer once annually or
after storms.
Ä
Observe the statutory test intervals for stationary systems
(DIN EN 62446-1 / VDE 0126-23-1):
•
Ensure that all system components are securely mounted
and corrosion-free.
•
Check the safe connection, cleanliness and integrity of all
electrical components and the positional stability of all systems.
•
Check for correct assembly of all mechanical components
(rivets and screws present) and secure mounting of the ballast
(ballast location correct).
Cleaning
WARNING! Risk of injury from hot and live
solar modules!
Ä
Only clean cool solar modules.
Ä
Do not wear any electrically conductive materials on your
body or as part of your clothing.
WARNING! Danger of falling due to unsecured
roof access!
Ä
Never enter the installation area alone or when unsecured.
Ä
Commission the services of a specialist company.
NOTE! Modular surface can become damaged!
Clean the modules as follows:
Ä
Remove snow and ice carefully and without using force (e.g.
with a soft broom).
Ä
Do not scrape off dirt.
Ä
Rinse off dirt with lukewarm water (dust, foliage, etc.) or use an
alcohol-based glass cleaner. Do not use abrasive detergents
or surfactants.
Ä
Moisten stubborn dirt with a cellulose cloth (kitchen roll) or
soft sponge and carefully wipe off. Please do not use cloths
made from microfibre or (cotton) wool.
Stubborn dirt can be removed rapidly within an hour after
origination using isopropanol (IPA):
Ä
Observe the safety instructions on the IPA packaging.
Ä
Do not allow isopropanol to run between the module and
frame or into the module's edges.
NOTE! Damage to the solar modules!
Ä
Do not clean the module with water if there is a
risk of frost.
