· The module is only considered to comply with
IEC 61215 and UL 1703 when mounted as speci-
fied in the instructions in ANNEX B. Any module
without a frame (laminate) shall not be conside-
red to comply with the requirements of UL 1703
unless the module is mounted with hardware
that has been tested and evaluated with the mo-
dule under this standard or by a field Inspection
certifying that the installed module complies
with the requirements of UL 1703.
· Double glass modules can be mounted to a
support structure by means of clamps. For

MAINTENANCE
· 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.
· Snow should be removed using a soft brush.
· Periodically inspect the system to check the
integrity of all wiring and supports.
· To protect against electric shock or injury,
electrical or mechanical inspections and
maintenance should be performed by qualified
personnel only.
· Please refer to our Installation Manual Annex
of standard solar modules (Section Annex
D: Module Cleaning Guideline) for more
information on this topic.
