2. Customer Support, Claims Process and Coverage
If any PV Module fails to conform to this Limited Warranty, except in the event such failure or any power loss results from or arises out
of (in whole or in part) any of the excluded events set forth in Section 4 below, as determined by Maxeon in its sole reasonable discretion,
then for the applicable Warranty Term, Maxeon will elect (in its sole and absolute discretion) to either repair, replace, or refund the
defective PV Modules as set forth herein.
If you have a claim covered by this Limited Warranty, then immediately contact Maxeon at [email protected]. Upon receipt of a
claim, Maxeon may require additional information regarding the claim, including: applicable warranty registration information; itemized
proof of purchase, delivery or installation; serial and model numbers; and evidence regarding the basis of claim. All Maxeon obligations
hereunder are expressly contingent upon the timely and full provision of such additional information. Returned PV Modules will not be
accepted unless prior written authorization has been provided by Maxeon.
For any valid claim hereunder pertaining to any PV Module, Maxeon will, in its sole discretion, repair, replace, or refund the original
purchase price of the covered PV Modules. For repairs and replacements, Maxeon will pay reasonable, customary transportation costs
for the return of covered PV Modules from, and the shipment of repaired or replacement PV Modules to, the place where the covered
PV Modules were originally delivered by Maxeon. Replacement PV Modules may be refurbished or remanufactured PV Modules, will be
electrically and mechanically compatible with the covered PV Modules, and will have a substantially equal or greater power rating.

such services, and (b) Maxeon will pay the service provider for such service costs.
If Maxeon issues a refund under a valid Product or Power Warranty claim, then Maxeon will refund the original purchase price for the
first five years of the applicable Warranty Term, and then linearly depreciate the refund amount by 2.78% per year for 40-year Warranty
Terms, 13.5% per year for 12-year Warranty Terms, and 4.75% per year for 25-year and other Warranty Terms (the “Claim Value”),
provided that for a valid Power Warranty claim, Maxeon will refund the Claim Value multiplied by the percentage difference between
the Guaranteed Peak Power percentage and the Measured Peak Power percentage (both as a percentage of the Minimum Peak Power).
If you are unable to substantiate the original purchase price, then Maxeon will use the current market value instead of the original
purchase price to determine the Claim Value.

Maxeonrecommendsforagoodperformanceofthesystem
(reductionofsoilingeffect/waterpooling)aminimumof5˚tiltangle.
Thecleaning
frequencymustbeincreasedformodulesinstalledwithaverylow
angle.
Commercialmodules(96&128cells)frameshavepermanently
attachedstackingpinslocateda20mmzoneonthelongsideframeat
388‐408mm(“D”areainFigure2).Mountingsystemhardwareused
withcommercialmodulesmustaccountforthepresenceofthese
stackingpins(seeTable2).

Specificinformationonmoduledimensionsandthelocationof
mountingandgroundingholesisprovidedinFigures2andTable2.

Inordertopreventwaterfromenteringthejunctionbox,whichcould
presentasafetyhazard,modulesshouldnotbemountedsuchthat
thefront/topglassfacesdownward(e.g.,onatrackingstructurethat
positionsthemodulewiththejunctionboxfacingskywardduring
sleepmode).

Wealsowanttoremindthatthewatertightnessisnotensuredbythe
modulesbutbythemountingsystemandthatdrainageshouldbewell
designedforModules.

Clearancebetweenthemoduleframesandstructureorgroundis
requiredtopreventwiringdamageandallowsairtocirculatebehind
themodule.Therecommendedassemblingclearancebetween
modulesinstalledonanymountingsystemisaminimumof5mm
distance.
Wheninstalledonaroof,themoduleshallbemountedaccordingto
thelocalandregionalbuildingandfiresafetyregulations.Incasethe
moduleisinstalledinaroofintegratedPV‐System(BIPV),itshallbe
mountedoverawatertightandfire‐resistantunderlaymentratedfor
suchapplication

Modulesmountingsystemsshouldonlybeinstalledonbuildingthat
havebeenformallyconsideredforstructuralintegrity,andconfirmed
tobecapableofhandlingtheadditionalweightedloadoftheModules
andmountingsystems,byacertifiedbuildingspecialistorengineer.

Mountingsystemsuppliershallmanagethegalvaniccorrosionwhich
canoccurbetweenthealuminiumframeoftheModulesand
mountingsystemorgroundinghardwareifsuchdevicesiscomprised
ofdissimilarmetals.
Themoduleisonlycertifiedforusewhenitsfactoryframeisfully
intact.Donotremoveoralterthemoduleframe.Creatingadditional
mountingholesorremovingthestackingpinsmaydamagethe
moduleandreducethestrengthoftheframe,thereforearenot
allowed.UsingmountingClampsorclipswithadditionalgrounding
boltsorgroundingmetalsheetscouldbeincompliancewiththis
SafetyandInstallationInstructionsmanualsubjecttoconditionsof
Section4.1
Modulesmaybemountedusingthefollowingmethodsonly:

1) FrameHoles:Securethemoduletothestructureusingthe
factorymountingholes.FourM6orM8stainlesssteelbolts,
withnuts,washers,andlockwashersarerecommendedper

andmountingholelocations.(Pleaserefertothearrowsonthe
Table2,E1&E2&E3&E4).

2) PressureClampsorClips:Mountthemodulewiththeopposite
clipsonthelongerand/orshortersideoftheframeofthe
module.TheclipsallowedlocationshouldbeaccordingtoTable
1.1.Installersshouldensuretheclampsareofsufficient
strengthtoallowforthemaximumdesignpressureofthe
module.ClipsandclampsarenotprovidedbyMaxeon.Clamps
mustapplyforcecollinearwiththe‘wall’ofthemoduleframe
andnotonlytothetopflange.Clampsshallnotapplyexcessive
forcetothetopframe,warpthetopflange,orcontacttheglass‐
thesepracticesvoidthe

breakage.Whenclampingtothemoduleframe,torqueshould
neverexceed15N.mtoreducechancesofframedeformation,
iftheclampdatasheetsshowaspecifictorquevaluewhichis
lowerthan15Nmtheinstallershouldfollowthetorquevalue
whicheverismorestringent.Acalibratedtorquewrenchmust
beused.Mountingsystemsshouldbeevaluatedfor

oftheuseofnon‐standardpressureclampsorclipswhere
torquevaluesarehigherthanotherwisestated.

3) EndMount:Endmountingisthecapturemountingofthe
lengthofthemodule’sshorterframeswithclampsoneach
shortersidesoftheframe.Threedifferentconfigurationsare
possible:1)withtwomountingrailsunderthecompletelength
ofeachshortersideoftheModules,(SeeTable1.2),2)withtwo
mountingrailsparalleltothelongsideoftheModules(See
Table1.2)and3)withoutanymountingrail(SeeTable1.2).The
end‐mountingrailsandclipsorclamps(identifiedasA
(1&2&3&4)

inTable1.1)mustbeofsufficientstrengthtoallowfor
maximumdesignedtestpressureofthemodule.Verifythis
capacitywiththemountingsystemofvendorbefore

5.3BifacialGain
Variousenvironmentalandinstallationparametersaffectbifacial
gain.Albedoisameasureoftheamountoflightreflectedfromthe
groundsurface.Ahigheralbedofactorwillincreaseirradianceonthe
backsideandresultinhigherbifacialgainofthemodule.Thesurface
conditions,monthoftheyear,timeofday,GHIandDNIbothinfluence
theamountofincidentrearsideirradiance.
Maxeonrecommendstocheckwithsolarmodulemountinghardware
supplierinordertodeterminetheStructureShadingfactorofyour
particularinstallation.TheStructureShadingFactorvarieswith
rackingsystemdesign,irradiance,albedoandheightofmodule
installationabovegroundandhasanoverallimpactontherearside
irradiancemismatch.

TheRearsidemismatchlossesareproportionaltothealbedo,height
ofthemodulesabovegroundandstructureshadingfactor.The
irradiancenon‐uniformityontherearsideresultsinmismatch
generallyasthealbedoincreasesandinstallationheightofthe
modulesarelowertotheground.

5.4BifacialElectricalConsiderations
Theoverallelectricalbifacialgainisdeterminedbythecombinationof
albedo,irradiance,shadinglossesfromtherearside,rearside
mismatchandheightofinstallationaboveground.Pleaserefertothe
Maxeondatasheetfortheelectricaloutputswithrespecttothe
overallbifacialgain.Pleaseutiliseasuitableperformancesoftware
packagetosimulatetheoverallbifacialgain.

5.5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
surfaces,whichmayleadtoscratchesandirregularsoiling.
Duringstorage,modulesneedtobeprotectedfromrainoranykinds
ofliquids.Requiredstoragetemperatureisbetween10°Cto40°Cina
dryenvironment(humiditybetween30to80%).Donotstoremodules
outdoortoavoidmoistureandwetconditions.

Modulesthatfeatureantireflectivecoatedglassarepronetovisible
fingerprintmarksiftouchedonthefrontglasssurface.Maxeon
recommendshandingmoduleswithanti‐reflectiveglasswithgloves
(noleathergloves)orlimitingtouchingofthefrontsurface.Anyfinger
printmarksresultingfrominstallationwillnaturallydisappearover
timeorcanbereducedbyfollowingthewashingguidelinesinSection
6.0below.Anymodulecoverage(coloredplastictarpsorsimilar)
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).
6.0Maintenance
Maxeonrecommendsvisualinspectiononaregularbasisofall
modulesforsafeelectricalconnections,soundmechanical
connection,andfree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.

Table2:ModuleFrameDetails

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.Maxeon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.AsdrycleaningisalsoriskyforAnti‐Reflective(AR)coated
modulesurface,spinningbrushisnotrecommendedformodule
cleaning.
