Transport and care
Transport and Storage
»
Never loosen the straps on the packaging during trans
port. If the straps are released, the module is unsecured
in the stack and can be damaged when accelerating,
braking or lifting.
»
For transport, stack the product only on the special pallet
provided by Energetica.
»
The maximum stacking height is two pallets. Stacking too
high can put too much pressure on the lower modules
and damage modules.
»
Never transport the module on one side of the frame or
on the cable. This can cause damage to the frame or
cables.
Cleaning
PV modules do not need to be cleaned to work effectively.
However, by removing dirt or deposits (leaves, snow) on the
front glass, their performance can be increased. Only clean
the modules when they have cooled down. Do not wear any
electrically conductive parts on your body or clothing.
In order not to damage the module surface, clean the
modules as follows:
»
Remove snow and ice carefully and without effort. For
example, use a soft broom for this;
»
Do not scrape off dirt or leaves, but rinse with lukewarm
water;
»
To do this, use an alcohol-based glass cleaner;
»
Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or tensides;
»
Carefully remove stubborn dirt with a cellulose cloth
(kitchen roll) or a damp, soft sponge. Do not use micro-
fiber or cotton cloths for this.
»
Stubborn soiling can be removed with isopropanol
within one hour of its occurrence (observe safety instruc
tions!).
»
Do not let any isopropanol run between the module and
the frame or into the module edges.
»
Water, ethanol and microfiber cloths can be used for
regular cleaning of the front glass.
»
Do not use calcareous groundwater to clean the glass.
»
The frame surface can be cleaned of foreign matter
residues with a damp, non-scratching sponge or cloth
and then dried in the air or with clean chamois leather.
