5) SunPower-specified or SunPower-supplied mounting systems: Mount
modules with strict adherence to SunPower documentation, using
hardware systems supplied by or specified by SunPower.
5.3 Module Handling
Use gloves when handling modules. The module glass is sensitive to oils and
abrasive surfaces, which may lead to scratches and irregular soiling. Do not place
modules such that the glass comes in contact with abrasive surfaces, and
minimize any contact with the glass in general. Do not place anything on the
modules, even for a moment. Never lift or move the module using the cables or
the junction box under any circumstances. Remove any fingerprints by washing
the module glass as described in Section 6.0 below.
6.0 Maintenance and Cleaning
Trained SunPower dealer or trained SunPower support personnel should inspect
all modules annually for safe electrical connections, sound mechanical
connections, and freedom from corrosion.
Periodic cleaning of module glass has resulted in improved performance levels,
especially in regions with low levels of annual precipitation; therefore SunPower
recommends periodic cleaning of the modules.
To clean a module, wash its glass surface with potable, non-heated water.
Normal water pressure is adequate, but pressurized water (up to 1500 psi) may
be used. 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
with a 3% 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
