Reverse Dark Current

4.1.3 Reverse Dark Current Test

The panel should not draw current from the battery
during periods of non-operation i.e. at night. This test
verifies low Reverse Dark Current. 

(Test Fixture Switches: SW1-A, SW2-w/oL, SW3-yes)

!

Battery and current meter are connected as shown
in Figure 4; the test fixture uses a 1 Ohm sense
resistor and Volt meter to make this measurement.

!

Cover solar panel completely.

!

Press Pushbutton Switch (SW-3) for measurement.

!

Limit: 15 mA.

4.2 Maintenance

Inspect the module for overall integrity.

Check that all connections are tight and free of corrosion.

When the panel becomes dirty use water and a soft cloth or synthetic sponge to clean the
glass surface. A mild, non-abrasive detergent can be used to remove persistent
contaminants. Avoid using brushes or abrasive cleansers.

Warning:

electrical shock can occur whenever the panel becomes wet! Wear rubber

gloves whenever cleaning the panel.
