Commissioning of the photovoltaic power plant
Before initiation of the generator, please check all components (observe the installation instructions of other
components), the electrical connection and all plugs, that they are connected correctly and ensure that the
connection is tight.
Solar generators with a direct current voltage from more than 50V must be installed/initiated
by qualified persons!
The open circuit voltage of every serial connection should be checked after initiation. Follow the rule: Result
of the measurement = sum of the open circuit voltages of the single modules. Consider the actual time, sun
irradiation, shadowing and other factors while measuring the open circuit voltage, otherwise the result of the
sum and the single results could deviate considerably.
Maintenance
Soiling on the module surface can lead to a reduction in performance.
Clean the modules as required and soiled with plenty of water and a soft cloth or sponge without
any detergent. Do not use high pressure cleaners!
If other additives or devices like aggressive chemicals, scrubbing agents, sharp blades or steel
wool are used the guarantee and product warranty will be invalid! Never wipe off or scrape off
pollution in a dry state of the module surface.
An additional application of water / dirt resistant coatings can affect the efficiency of the modules
and also the yield, in a negative way.
Check the module wiring and the single module plugs to ensure they are clean, corrosion free,
mechanically ok and tight in regular intervals.
ATTENTION: Never disconnect the plugs under load!
Free the modules, if necessary, from high snow loads.
Check the substructure in regular intervals for their tightness.
Never try to open or repair parts of the module or of the junction box on your own.
All other trouble shootings, repairing and maintenance works must be done by qualified, skilled
staff/persons.
For further information relating to warranties etc. please read through the GENERAL TERMS
AND CONDITIONS of KIOTO Photovoltaics GmbH.
