If dirt or debris becomes built-up clean the glass using only a soft cloth, with a mild, non-abrasive de- tergent and water. RECOM recommends using mild cleaning liquids; a neutral pH in the range of 6.0 to 8.0 is recommended. -
Page 6: Mechanical Installation
• All RECOM solar modules have a module fire resistance rating of Class Per UL 1703, the fire rating of this module is valid only when mounted in the manner specified in the mechanical mounting instructions. The system fire rating is determined by the module, rack and roofing materials. -
Page 7: General Installation Guidelines
Mechanical installation of the module shall not cause the frame to torque more than 38 mm. • A minimum clearance of 152 mm is required between the roof and bottom of the module frame.
