Maintenance
Regular inspection and maintenance of the Products is necessary, especially within the
Warranty Period. It is the user’s responsibility to report any damages to the supplier
within 4 weeks after the Product delivery.
Cleaning
Dust accumulation on the glass may reduce power output and even cause regional hot-
spot effects. Industrial emissions or bird droppings may also affect, and the degree of
severity depends on the transparency of the foreign objects. Usually, the accumulated
dust does not reduce the transparency much, as light intensity is still homogeneous and
the reduction in power output is typically not visible.
Negative environmental effects, such as foreign objects casting shadows or laying directly
on the roof, may adversely affect the power output of the Product.
Roofit
.solar advises
that the PV part of the system should not be obstructed at any time. The Product cleaning
frequency depends on the environmental factors. In many cases the glass is sufficiently
cleaned by naturally occurring rain and the necessity to explicitly clean it is reduced.
When cleaning the Product, it is recommended to wipe the glass surface with a damp
sponge or soft cloth – without touching any electrical connections. Do not clean the glass
with an acidic or alkaline cleaning agent.
Visual inspection
Inspect the Products visually to detect any possible defects such as glass breakage.
It is recommended to implement the following preventive maintenance every 12 months
(if accessible):
Check if the connectors are intact and encapsulated (i.e., the cables are not exposed).
Check the sealing gel of the junction box to locate any possible cracks or crevices.
Decommissioning and Disposal
Roofit
.solar is strongly committed to protecting the environment. The Products are
durable for decades and built of non-hazardous materials. When the Products have
reached the end of their life cycle, they should be disposed in accordance with local recy-
cling regulations.
