operating conditions
•
The operating temperature of PV module should be within -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F).
•
Ensure adequate ventilation behind the module, especially in hot environments.
•
Module should be installed at least 500m from the sea to avoid corrosion due to exposure to salt.
•
Other sources of corrosion, including sulfur (from sulfur sources such as volcanoes), can also lead to
performance degradation and should be avoided.
Location conditions
The following location conditions should be avoided when installing a module:
•
Location with potential for extreme sand and dust damage.
•
Location with extreme air pollution, chemical vapors, acid rain, and/or soot, etc.
•
Location with extreme hail and/or snow.
•
Location with potential extreme salt damage.
maIntEnanCE and CarE
Dirt on the surface of the solar module may decrease power generation. Keep module surface free from any
dirt which potentially shades the cells. An at least 10 degree inclination supports the self-cleaning function
of the glass. If you still need to clean the module or if soiling on the module glass becomes excessive, use a
soft cloth and water for cleaning.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE DETERGENTS
Please consult with system designer to decide the cleaning frequency according to local environmental
conditions. Once a year, check the electrical and mechanical devices to ensure every connection is tight.
The system must be periodically inspected.
