INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL SOLAR MODULES DUO-G5.X – Q CELLS

21

Q CELLS solar modules are known for a long operating life and 
minimal maintenance effort and expense. Dirt and grime are usually 
washed away by rain. If the module is fully or partially shaded by 
dirt or debris (e.g., plants, bird droppings), it needs to be cleaned 
to prevent a loss of performance.

Maintenance

 

Ä

The PV system has to be inspected regularly by certified 
personnel.

 

Ä

The time intervals and extent of the inspection can depend 
on local circumstances (e.g. salt, ammonia content in the air, 
high humidity etc.). The customer/operator must inform himself 
about time intervals and extend of necessary inspections. 

 

Ä

Inspections have to be performed especially after extraordinary 
events (e.g. storm, hail, high snow loads etc.)

 

Ä

During the inspections it has to be checked that the components 
are secure, undamaged and clean.

Cleaning

WARNING!  
Risk of injury due to hot and live modules!

 

Ä

Only clean modules that have cooled down.

 

Ä

Do not carry or wear any electrically conductive parts.

WARNING!  
Risk of falling due to unsecured access! 

 

Ä

Never access the installation area alone or without taking ade-
quate security precautions.

 

Ä

Please commission a trade specialist.

NOTE!  
Module surface damage may occur! 

 

Ä

Remove snow and ice carefully without force (e.g. with a very 
soft broom).

 

Ä

Do not scratch off dirt.

 

Ä

Rinse dirt (dust, leaves, etc.) off with lukewarm water or use an 
alcohol based glass cleaner. Do not use abrasive detergents 
or surfactants. 

 

Ä

Use a soft cellulose cloth (kitchen roll) or sponge to carefully wipe 
off stubborn dirt. Do not use micro fleece wool or cotton cloths.

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) can be used selectively to remove stubborn 
dirt and stains within one hour after emergence.

 

Ä

Please follow the safety guidelines provided by the IPA man-
ufacturer. 

 

Ä

Do not let IPA run down between the module and the frame or 
into the module edges.

NOTE! Module damage may occur!

 

Ä

Do not clean modules with water if there is a risk of 
frost.

6  MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

 

Ä

Free the substructure from any dirt and debris 
(leaves, bird nests, etc.).

 

Ä

Remove dirt with lukewarm water or alcohol based 
glass cleaner, a broom, or a soft cloth.

 

Ä

Do not use surfactants, rotating brushes, scrapers, 
or any high-pressure water cleaning equipment.

DANGER!  
Risk of fatal injury due to electric shock!

 

Ä

Do not attempt to fix any problems yourself (e.g. glass cracks, 
damaged cables).

 

Ä

Please contact an installer or Q CELLS Technical Customer 
Service Department.

 

Ä

Do not disconnect modules yourself.

 

Ä

Please commission a trade specialist.

 

Ä

Dispose of modules in accordance with the local disposal 
regulations.

6  FAULTS AND DEFECTS

7  DISPOSAL

5  GROUNDING

Option B: Integrated grounding methods

The Q CELLS modules can be bonded with the racking system 
using UL1703 or UL2703 certified integrated grounding methods. 
The racking system will then have to be grounded so that the overall 
system is properly grounded. The listed racking system and grounding 
device should be installed in accordance with the manufacturers’ 
instructions. An example of such integrated grounding method is 
the use of a WEEB clip or Schletter plate between the module and 
the racking system, when mounting the module. 

The WEEB washers are generally compatible with Q CELLS modules, 
however each combination module / racking system requires a specific 
WEEB washer size. Note that WEEB clips are intended for single use 
only; they must not be reused after removal or loosening. Refer to 
Wiley’s installation instructions for the specific use of WEEB washers.

An example of such integrated grounding method is the use of a 
washer recognized as meeting UL2703 requirements between the 
module and the racking system, when mounting the module. For 
example, WEEB washers are generally compatible with Q CELLS 
modules, however each combination module / racking system 
requires a specific WEEB washer size. Note that WEEB washers are 
intended for single use only; they must not be reused after removal 
or loosening. Refer to Wiley’s installation instructions for the specific 
use of WEEB washers.
