Maintenance and cleaning
Usually, the modules are automatically cleaned
by rain. With an inclination of more than 15° the
modules generally need no additional cleaning. In
the case of severe contamination, we recommend
that the modules are cleaned with ample water and
without cleaning agents. In the case of severe con-
tamination, we recommend cleaning with plenty of
water with a low lime content but without detergent.
During all transport and assembly work, clean and
non-slip gloves must be worn in order to avoid cuts
at the module edges. In addition, contamination of
the solar glass by fingerprints must be avoided as
these can damage the special coating of the glass.
Please do not use a nozzle attachment, and ensure
that only moderate water pressure is used. Using
cleaning products and scratching cleaning devices
will damage the special anti-reflective coating and
render the product and performance guarantees
void. Under no circumstances may contaminants
be scratched or rubbed off without moisture. Da-
mage to the highly efficient anti-reflective surface
may change the visual appearance of the module
surface and result in decreased performance.
Use of automatic cleaning machines for solar ener-
gy systems is at your own risk, and is not autho-
rised by CS Wismar GmbH in any way.
Inspect the installation on a regular basis and
check it for
•
secure fixing and corrosion-free condition of
all mountings
•
secure connection, cleanliness, integrity and
corrosion-free condition of all wire connec-
tions
•
transition impedances of the potential equa-
lization
Disclaimer
If any of the instructions given in the user informa-
tion are not adhered to, CS Wismar GmbH will not
guarantee the availability and functionality of the
modules. Since the compliance with the said safety
instructions as well as the conditions and methods
for installation, operation, usage and maintenance
of the modules cannot be checked or monitored
by CS Wismar GmbH, CS Wismar GmbH does
not accept any liability for damage due to impro-
per use, incorrect installation, operation, usage or

nating from a defect of the modules in cases of in-
jury of life, body or health or in cases of a seriously
negligent breach of duty by CS Wismar GmbH or
of an intentional or seriously negligent breach of
duty by a legal representative or agent. Furthermo-
re, any liability for the violation of patent law or the
violation of rights of third parties arising from the
utilization of the modules is excluded unless the
liability therefore is legally binding.
