Page 8: Maintenance
7.0 MAINTENANCE indicated in table 6. Install and tighten the module clamps to the mounting rails using the torque stated by the mounting hardware manufacturer (in the absence of instructions, Canadian Solar Inc recommends a torque about 15Nm to 20Nm). Do not change the PV components (diode, junction box, plug connectors). System designer and installer are responsible for load calculations and for proper design of support structure. Regular maintenance is required to keep modules clear of snow, bird droppings, seeds, pollen, leaves, branches, dirt spots Clamp material should be aluminum. EPDM type rubber or similar material should be used between the laminate/clamp and dust. and laminate/mounting rail interfaces in order to prevent any damages to the laminate. If a module has a sufficient tilt (at least 15 ), it generally is not necessary to clean the modules (rainfall will have a Canadian Solar Inc. warranty may be void in cases where improper clamps or unsuitable installation methods are found. ... -
