Do not use any abrasive, hard
!
cleaning objects. Do not use any
corrosive, acidic cleaning material. Do
not dry clean the modules.
Dust and too much dirt on the
i
module surface can reduce the
yield of the PV system.
Normally, module cleaning is not
required if there is sufficient pitch
(more than 15°) (self-cleaning through
rain). If the module is very dirty, clean-
ing with water without cleaning agent
and a soft cleaner (sponge without hard
surface) is recommended. The dirt
must never be scraped off dry, since
it may result in micro-scratches that
reduce the output.
We recommend regular inspection:
– Check the module for damages and
glass breakage.
– Check the electric connections for
secure attachment and corrosion.
– Check cabling for damages (chafe
marks, gnaw marks by animals)
– Check mounting system for secure
hold and attachment
If the PV system's yield is below
expectations, the following list of
frequent causes of faults might help:
– Improper or faulty cabling
– Burnt fuses or blown voltage circuit-
breaker
– Shadowing of the modules by trees,
towers or buildings or even through
heavy dirt and impurities on the
module.
– Inverter malfunction
– Improper maintenance and cleaning
– Module malfunction (very rare)

or recycling of modules, please contact
