5.3 Handling of Modules during Installation
Do not place modules face forward in direct contact with abrasive
surfaces like roofs, driveways, wooden pallets, railings, stucco walls,
etc...
The module front surface glass is sensitive to oils and abrasive
Oasis
surfaces, which may lead to scratches and irregular soiling.
center
During storage, modules need to be protected from rain or any kinds
moun
of liquids. Required storage temperature is between 10°C to 40°C in a
t
dry environment (humidity between 30 to 80%). Do not store modules
F
outdoor to avoid moisture and wet conditions.
(1&2)
Modules that feature antireflective coated glass are prone to visible
finger print marks if touched on the front glass surface. SunPower
Not
recommends handing modules with anti‐reflective glass with gloves
applicabl
(no leather gloves) or limiting touching of the front surface. Any finger
e
print marks resulting from installation will naturally disappear over
time or can be reduced by following the washing guidelines in Section
Refer to
6.0 below. Any module coverage (colored plastic tarps or similar)
5.2,4
during installation can lead to permanent front glass discoloration and
is not recommended. The use of vacuum lifting pads can cause
permanent marks on the front glass.Never lift or move the module
using the cables or the junction box under any‐circumstances.
Shading incidence need to be avoided during PV system operation.
The system is not supposed to be energized until the mounting
scaffolding, fences or railing have been removed from the roof.
Systems should be disconnected in any cases of maintenance which
can cause shading (e.g. chimney sweeping, any roof maintenance,
antenna/dish installations, etc).

modules for safe electrical connections, sound mechanical
connection, and freedom from corrosion. This visual inspection should

be performed by trained personnel. The standard frequency is once a
year according to environmental conditions
Periodic cleaning of modules is recommended but is not required.
Periodic cleaning has resulted in improved performance levels,
especially in regions with low levels of annual precipitation (less than
46,3cm (18,25 inches)). Consult your dealer or supplier about
recommended cleaning schedules for your area.
To clean a module, wash with potable, non‐heated, water. Normal
water pressure is more than adequate, but pressurized water up to
100 bar (min.50 cm distance) may be used. SunPower recommends
using a large hosepipe and not to perform cleaning at high outside
temperatures. Fingerprints, stains, or accumulations of dirt on the
front surface may be removed as follows: first rinse off area and let
soak for a short period of time (5 mins). Re‐wet and use a soft sponge
or seamless cloth to wipe glass surface in a circular motion.
Fingerprints typically can be removed with a soft cloth or sponge and
water after wetting. Do not use harsh cleaning materials such as
scouring powder, steel wool, scrapers, blades, or other sharp
instruments to clean the glass surface of the module. Use of such
materials or cleaning without consultation will invalidate the product
warranty.
