11.4.4 More frequent cleaning
RECOMMENDATION
• In environments subject to heavy soiling, we re-
commend making the intervals for inspections and
cleaning shorter than just once a year.
• For example, this applies to environments with a
high exposure to dust, especially close to:
• Large livestock farms
• Grain reloading stations
• Green areas with heavy foliage, seeds or pollen
• Factories with high levels of dust emission.
aleo solar recommends contracting a specialised company
to clean your photovoltaic generator properly without trea-
ding on the modules, if frequent cleaning is necessary.

Repairs

11.5.1 Modules
For repairing aleo modules, only contract technicians who
have been authorised by aleo solar to avoid loss of warranty.
A defective module can cause loss of output, as well as
consequential damage. If an aleo module needs repairing,
first get in touch with aleo solar (see Ch. 2.2: „Contact").
Never, under any circumstances, repair an aleo module your-
self.
Improper repairs can cause damage which may have reper-
cussions years later, such as failure of electrical insulation.
This could be fatal. Therefore, report any necessary repairs
immediately.
Before you carry out any maintenance work on aleo modules,
deactivate the module string or the whole generator if
necessary. Observe the warnings and notes in Ch. 6.2.2:
„Mechanical safety precautions" and Ch. 6.2.1: „Electrical

safety precautions".

11.5.2 System parts
For repairing other system parts (e.g. substructure, connec-
tion boxes), contract authorised technicians to do the work
or contact aleo solar directly (see Ch. 2.2: „Contact").

12.2

Disposal

NOTE
• Dispose of the aleo modules at the end of their
service life in the proper manner.
• To do this, contact a disposal company.
