FThe same guidelines apply to dismantling as to the installation of the system. If disassembly
and/or return is necessary, it may only be carried out using the original packaging and under
the instructions of EET personnel.
We would like to emphasize that this product must not be disposed of with regular household
waste. Improper disposal can lead to environmental harm. Battery recycling, in particular,
poses a significant challenge for the future.
To ensure the best possible recycling process, we have committed to working with a local
recycling company to properly recycle the batteries. Please contact us if your SolMate® battery
ever experiences issues or reaches the end of its lifespan.
Battery Disposal:
• Fully discharge the battery before sending it for recycling. Do not dispose of the product in
regular waste, as it may contain hazardous chemicals. Follow local recycling regulations.
• If the battery cannot be fully discharged due to a malfunction, contact a professional recycling
company.
• Dispose of deeply discharged batteries that can no longer be recharged.
Environmental sustainability is our top priority, which is why we strive to repair or recycle every
SolMate® as much as possible if it ever stops functioning. If your system has reached the end of
its lifespan and you're unsure how to dispose of the panels, please contact us.
Since photovoltaic panels are classified as commercial waste in Austria, you will need a
declaration of exemption when disposing of them. We are happy to provide this document free of
charge—simply get in touch with us.
In Germany, you can drop off the panels at designated collection points without additional
paperwork.
Of course, the RoHS directive (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) has been fully complied with.
Operation generally does not require any special maintenance. However, to maintain the
maximum efficiency of your SolMate®, you should clean the panels from time to time using water
(and, if necessary, a soft cloth or a soft brush).
Avoid using aggressive cleaning agents. Cleaning ensures that all available sunlight is optimally
utilized for you.
If SolMate® is not used for an extended period, it must be turned off (see "TURNING SOLMATE®
ON AND OFF" on page 17). However, make sure to charge the battery every 3 months to prevent
unavoidable deep discharge.
