Maintenance And Servicing; Disposal - SOLARWATT 60M style Montageanleitung

In installation conditions, a solar module can deliver a higher
current and/or higher voltage than under standardized test
conditions. Consequently, the short circuit current I
open circuit voltage U specified on the solar modules should
OC
be multiplied by 1.25 to determine the rated voltage values of
components, the rated current values of conductors, and the
size of fuses and to measure controls connected to the solar
modules.
Any type of soiling on the plug contacts before or after instal-
lation (dust, moisture, aerosols containing salt, etc.) has a
negative influence on the system function over the intended
service period. For this reason it is necessary to pay particular
attention to cleanliness during installation. The use of lubri-
cants is not permitted. Always protect unplugged connectors
against soiling of any type during transport, storage, and dur-
ing installation, as the connectors only satisfy the require-
ments for their protection category when plugged in. It is for-
bidden to open the junction box or modify or remove the cable
or frame.

MAintenAnce AnD seRVicing

A photovoltaic system needs practically no maintenance, as
the solar modules are cleaned by the rain at the recommend-
ed minimum angle of 15°. To avoid reductions in yield, we do,
however, recommend carrying out a regular visual check on
the module surfaces. Particularly heavy soiling (e.g., leaves)
can cause shades which reduce performance and should there-
fore be removed. Clean the glass surface with water and a soft

DisPOsAl

Dispose of defective or old solar modules properly; they should
never be disposed of with domestic waste. For this reason, we
offer our customers return and recycling of our solar modules.

The minimum bend radius for the connection cable is 60 mm.
The cables must be laid so that mechanical strain on the con-
and ductors and connections is ruled out. Take into account the
SC
product-specific length of the connection cable specified in
the relevant data sheets at www.solarwatt.de.
Potential equalization of the solar generator is prepared in the
factory and is recommended. It can be carried out using the
existing grounding bores on the long sides of the frame in ac-
cordance with the valid local regulations.
Detailed view ground connection:
sponge only. In exceptional cases, a conventional cleaning
agent may also be used in the recommended dose. Do not use
aggressive cleaning agents or metal objects, as they can be
particularly damaging to the hardened glass surface. The elec-
tric cables should (where accessible) be checked regularly for
damage, corrosion, and firm hold. Pay particular attention to
VDE 0105-100.
Contact us by e-mail at info@solarwatt.de and specify the
number and type of modules to be returned. We will then coor-
dinate all further details for returning your modules.
