Maintenance and care
Conergy PowerPlus modules are low-maintenance. How-
ever, Conergy recommends that you carry out a visual
inspection and a check of the mechanical and electrical
connections for damage once a year.
Dirt on the solar modules reduces the output and the
yield. If the solar modules are installed with an inclination
angle of more than 15°, they will generally be adequately
cleaned by the rain.
Damage to the solar module surface by
scratching or extreme differences in temper-
ature.
| Only use pH neutral liquid cleaner, even if
there is excessive dirt build-up.
| Do not use cleaning agents with abrasive
constituents.
| Only use cleaning solutions that are at
roughly the same temperature as the solar
module surface.
| Wipe the solar module surface with water and
a soft cloth.

Removal
Risk of electric shock.
| Do not touch any bare connection parts.
| Only use insulated tools.
1. Disconnect the inverter from the supply network on
the AC side so that the photovoltaic system has no
load.
2. Disconnect the photovoltaic system from the inverter
at the cut-off point on the DC side.
3. Make sure that the system is not supplied with volt-
age.
4. Remove the photovoltaic system in the same way as
it was installed; observe the safety instructions.
