pay special attention to any safety related issues, like loose or corroded electrical and
mechanical connections.

Dust and dirt is usually washed away from the module surfaces by rain. However, excessive
accumulations of dust, dirt or other deposits on the surface of the modules could compromise
the performance of your PV systems.
Do not attempt to clean the modules. Ask your PV system installer to clean the surface
of the modules.

amount of snow load on the surface of the YGE PV modules, do not attempt to remove the
snow from the module´s surface. Ask your PV system installer to check the actual snow load
and decide whether or not to take actions to remove the snow partly or entirely.
