· Do not make modifications to any component of the PV
module (diode, junction box, plug connectors or others).
· Regular maintenance is required to keep modules clear of
snow, bird droppings, seeds, pollen, leaves, branches, dirt
spots, and dust.
· Modules with sufficient tilt (at least 15°), generally do not
require cleaning (rain will have a self-cleaning effect). If
the module has become soiled, it shall be washed with
water and a non-abrasive cleaning brush or sponge
during the cool part of the day. Do not scrape or rub dry
dirt away, as this may cause micro scratches.
