Solbian SXP64QJB Manuel D'installation page 8

POSSIBLE FAILURE MODES
P Fractured cells. Fracturing can be caused by excessive bending of the module during installation or use, or by impact or mechanical
stress. Fractured photovoltaic cells do not normally cause a total loss of performance in a module, but more usually a drop in
efficiency. A module with fractured or malfunctioning cells can be detected by measuring the current using a 10A amperometer. In full
sunlight, the current should be the same order of magnitude as the Isc of the module (see datasheet), e.g. above 5A for the SP series
modules. The voltage is barely affected by cell fracture.
P Water inside the junction box. Although the junction boxes are waterproof, infiltrations are possible due to manufacturing defects
or impact. If this occurs, remove the cover of the junction box and proceed to dry the inside.
P Defects with the charge regulator. Charge regulators, like all electronic devices, can fail. The display may indicate failure. In any
case, first of all, check the state of the electrical connections between modules, regulators and batteries.
EXCERPT FROM WARRANTY TERMS
SolbianFlex modules are covered by a warranty for manufacturing defects and performance. Here are some of the warranty conditions.
The text of the full warranty (the sole applicable warranty) is available on request and is published on the website www.solbian.eu
TWO YEAR WARRANTY ON PRODUCT INTEGRITY
SolbianFlex serie SP, SX, SXp, CP and CUSTOM modules are guaranteed for two years from date of purchase. If they fail to perform
correctly during 24 months from the date of purchase, Solbian undertakes to repair or replace them at its discretion, or to offer a refund.
Repair, replacement or refund are the sole conditions offered by the warranty and cannot be extended beyond 24 months.
5 YEAR PERFORMANCE WARRANTY
The performance of SolbianFlex photovoltaic modules is measured under standard conditions at the end of the production line. The power,
expressed in W, reduces gradually over time, due to various factors, such as the cell encapsulation material becoming more opaque,
deterioration of the electrical contacts etc.
Solbian guarantees that, if the modules are used in the appropriate manner, the power will not fall below 90% of the declared value
within 5 years from purchase. If the customer has proof of a greater fall in power than warrantied, the application of this clause can
ENG be requested. Solbian will, at its discretion, repair or replace the module, or may replace the lost generating power with similar new
modules, or reimburse the lost generating power beyond the 90% limit, at market price for similar modules. Repair, replacement, or
ITA
reimbursement are the sole conditions offered by the warranty and cannot be extended beyond 60 months.

RECYCLING AND DISPOSAL
ESP
Solbian is part of the European consortium PV-CYCLE, for the recycling of damaged or end-of-life modules, available in many European
countries. SolbianFlex photovoltaic modules are electrical apparatus and must be disposed of accordingly, according to the laws of the
country. In case of disposal requirements, please contact our sales department.
