SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
Maintenance and Servicing
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual
must be performed only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK:
Before service, maintenance or cleaning:
a. Dry solar panels and outdoor wiring thoroughly while wearing electrically insulated gloves.
b. Cover solar panels with an opaque cover.
c. Disconnect all solar panels and batteries.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK OR CUTS:
Do not use damaged solar panel.
If wiring insulation is damaged or weathered, glass is cracked, or housing is opened, have the
problem corrected before further use.
Note: It is normal to see up to 20% degradation in Mono-crystalline solar panel
performance within the first 6 months before the Mono-crystalline stabilizes.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
Clean and inspect the Solar Panel system MONTHLY,
or more frequently to maintain peak efficiency.
1. Wear electrically insulated gloves and
ANSI-approved safety goggles. Dry Solar
Panels and outdoor wiring thoroughly.
2. Cover solar panels with opaque cover.
3. Disconnect all solar panels and batteries.
4. Clean solar panels and connectors with
damp soft cloth. Dry thoroughly. Do not
clean with brushes, soap or solvents.
5. Inspect general condition of Solar Panel system
(panels, batteries, controllers, and mounting).
Check for loose hardware, wiring insulation damage
or weathering, cracked glass, open housing, cracked
or broken parts, loose or corroded contacts, and any
other condition that may affect its safe operation.
6. Maintain batteries according to
supplier’s instructions.
Adjustment for Permanent Setup
To increase efficiency:
1. In the Winter, increase the panel’s angle by 10°.
2. In the Summer, decrease the angle by up to 10°.
3. In Spring and Fall, keep the angle recommended on page 5.
