Check for proper operation of all safety equipment take
into account local jurisdiction.
IMPORTANT
Shut down of the solar system must always be avoided
when the sun is shining on the collectors. If possible only
shut down the system on cloudy days or in the morning
or evening. If the sun is shining on the collectors, they
must be covered before any work on the components
of the solar heating system begins, in order to prevent
equipment damage.
Isolate the main power supply of the system
(e.g. by unplugging the control system or by means of
a main power disconnect switch) and safeguard against
unauthorized and/or accidental reactivation.
In areas experiencing frequent rain, collector cleaning
is not usually required. In areas with very dry climates,
urban areas or dusty areas, check and clean collectors
periodically.
Use a glass cleaner or soap and water solution and rinse
thoroughly with water.
Replace all worn/faulty parts.
Check the thermal insulation of the pipe work for damage
and fit. No bare metal or fiberglass insulation should be
exposed. Adjust if necessary. Replace all worn/faulty
parts.
IMPORTANT
The thermal insulation of external pipe work must be
resistant to temperature, water and UV radiation.
It must be protected against destruction by small animals
and birds (e.g. metal jacketing).
Check for proper operation of circulation pumps
