Page 5: Maintenance And Cleaning
Periodic cleaning of module glass has resulted in improved performance levels, especially in regions with low levels of annual precipitation; therefore Maxeon recommends periodic cleaning of the modules. To clean a module, wash its glass surface with potable, non‐heated water. Normal water pressure is adequate when cleaning the AR glass. Some fingerprints, stains, or accumulations of dirt on the glass may be removed with ® over‐the‐counter glass cleaners (such as Windex or equivalent), or a 3% with soap‐and‐water solution. For smaller systems, wet the module glass with the solution, let it stand for five minutes, and then wet them again and use a soft sponge or seamless cloth to wipe the glass surface in a circular motion. For large systems, wet the modules with the cleaning solution, let them stand for five minutes, and then rinse them with high‐pressure water or a soft squeegee. Do not use harsh industrial‐strength cleaning materials such as scouring powder, steel wool, scrapers, blades, or other sharp instruments to clean the module glass. Use of such materials will void the product warranty Recommended Cable Managemen Maxeon Product Line: Portrait Stringing Leapfrog Stringing (Portrait) Landscape Stringing © 2022 Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd.
