8. Operation
• Prior to connecting the PV system to the grid, make sure the entire system has been checked, tested and approved in accordance
with the applicable regulations.
• Depending on local regulations and utility policies, connection to the grid and start up of the PV system may only be performed by
authorized personnel.
9. Maintenance
A monthly visual check is highly recommended in order to maintain the efficiency of SF modules and the security of the mounting.
• Remove any dirt, fallen leaves or bird droppings from the surface, and check that there is no damage to the surface. Do not use
detergent or chemicals for cleaning dirt off SF modules as it may damage the modules and result in degradation of insulation.
• Do not use hard brushes or any other hard materials; use only soft cloths or sponges for removing dirt from the SF modules surface.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the installer/servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer with the same
characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazard.
• Stop using SF modules when any damage or unusual phenomena are observed. Have them immediately replaced or removed by a
qualified technician.
10. Disposal
SF modules must be disposed of in a responsible manner. Please contact your local supplier or disposal company for further
information. For health and safety reasons, SF modules should not be disposed of with household garbage, and must be dealt with
in accordance with local codes and regulations.
