Installation Manual/Installationsanleitung

clean your photovoltaic generator properly without tread-

ing on the modules, if frequent cleaning is necessary.

8.5 Repairs

8.5.1 PV Modules

For repairing PV modules, only use contract technicians

who have been authorised by SHARP to avoid loss of

warranty. A defective PV module can cause loss of out-

put, as well as consequential damage. If a PV module

needs repairing, first get in touch with SHARP.

Never, under any circumstances, repair a PV module by

yourself.

Improper repairs can cause damage which may have re-

percussions years later, such as failure of electrical insu-

lation. This could be fatal. Therefore, report any neces-

sary repairs immediately. Before you carry out any

maintenance work on PV modules, deactivate the mod-

ule string or the whole generator if necessary. Observe

the warnings and notes in Ch. 3.2.1: „Mechanical safety

precautions“ and Ch. 3.2.2: „Electrical safety precau-

tions“.

8.5.2 System parts

For repairing other system parts (e.g. substructure, con-

nection boxes), contract authorised technicians.

9.1 Safety precautions

Make sure you refer to the notes in Ch. 3.2.1: „Electrical

safety precautions“. If you would like to continue using

the PV module, also refer to Ch. 4.1: „Handling PV mod-

ules“

9.2 Disposal

• Dispose of the PV modules at the end of their

service life in the proper manner.

• To do this, contact a disposal company.

• Never dispose PV modules with household waste.
