Intended use

The SOLA-TECS F system is intended for cleaning photo-

voltaic panels in the commercial sector. The photovoltaic

panels must be mounted on an elevation. The photovoltaic

panel must be at least 150 mm from the ground.

Structure and function

The SOLA-TECS F system consists of a carrier system on

two carriages. Brush rollers are mounted on these carriages,

which are driven by high-pressure water.

The carrier system consists of two opposite carriages con-

nected by three connecting tubes. Wheels are attached to

the carriages. The wheels have two functions: They enable

rolling over the photovoltaic panels and secure the carrier

system from slipping.

Brush rollers are mounted on the central connecting tube for

cleaning work and propulsion. The brush rollers work across

the entire width of the carrier system and are rotated by a

high-pressure water turbine. After the drive, the water used

is fed into the brush roller and spray nozzles. Here the water

is used to moisten, clean and rinse the photovoltaic surface.

The central connecting tube can swivel 180° using a lever

together with the mounted brush rollers to clean the photo-

voltaic panels in both directions up to the edge.

The system has additional spray nozzles for if the photo-

voltaic frames are particularly dirty. The spray nozzles and

the brush rollers can be switched on or off independently of

each other via a water distributor.

The SOLA-TECS F system is pulled in the working direction

by two pull ropes attached to the carriage. The length of the

pull ropes can be adjusted to ensure correct posture.

ACheck your work area for bumps and

obstacles.

This protects you from injuries caused by

falling.

Introduction

Components and their function

The top and bottom carriages are the drive units of the

carrier system. With them, the SOLA-TECS F system can

be rolled over the photovoltaic panels.

The settings for running behavior over the photovoltaic

panels can be adjusted on the carriage.

The connecting tubes of lengths 700 mm, 800 mm and

1600 mm are for connecting the carriages. The pipes are

connected via an active and passive coupling.

The active and passive end caps protect the tube ends

and joints on the carriage.

The passive lever is for the “swivel brush roller” func-

tion. It is mounted on the middle connecting tube (bottom

carriage).

The top and bottom support frames are the handles

for attaching the Sola-tecs F system to the photovoltaic

panels.

Lever

The water distributor is mounted on the lower carrying

handle. The water supply is switched on and off at the

water distributor.

The counter bearing guides the brush roller ends up and

down. It prevents the brush ends from swinging up.

The guide bearing connects the individual drive units to

form one unit and ensures a flexible connection.

The clamping element and its connection fasten the Sola-

Tecs C.

The stop clamp is the position stop for the counter be-

aring, guide bearing and clamping element.

The swivel joint prevents the high pressure hose from

twisting when the middle connecting tube is swiveled.

The plug closes the high-pressure area in the individual

supply lines.

Introduction

Relief roller

Spray nozzle

Brush stop

From a structure of 3200 mm, the relief roller supports the

middle connecting tube when swiveling.

The spray nozzle cleans the hard-to-reach frame edges of

the photovoltaic panels.

The brush stop prevents the drive unit from sagging when

driving over gaps between the photovoltaic panels.

The roll holder facilitates crossing gaps between photo-

voltaic panels when the drive units rest on the brush stops

when crossing a gap.

Together with the mounted brush rollers, the Sola-Tecs C is

the cleaning/drive unit.

The 100 mm wide brush rollers are screwed to the brush

rollers of the Sola-Tecs C to extend the cleaning width.

Pull rope

The distribution pipe evenly sprays water onto the photo-

voltaic panel.

The sealing cap closes the distributor pipe.

The 2000 mm, 1500 mm and 1000 mm high-pressure ho-

ses supply water to the individual supply lines..

The cable ties fix the high-pressure hoses to the carrier

system.

The pull ropes are for pulling the Sola-Tecs F system over

the photovoltaic panels.

Control elements and their

function

Fixing the connecting tubes: The connecting tubes are

clamped to the carriage at the holes marked with a red [1]

and with a letter [A],[B],[C],[D],[E],[F].

Introduction

Adjusting the wheels: To adjust the wheels on the frame

of the photovoltaic panel, each wheel can be moved over

the axle.

Compensation for unevenness: The vertical wheels are

spring-mounted to compensate for unevenness. The spring

travel can be mechanically switched off with an adjusting

disc [1].

Parking

Coupling which

Parking the Sola-Tecs F: When the mounted Sola-Tecs F

is not required, the whole unit can be placed on the sup-

port plates [1].

Connect the connecting tubes:

The connecting tubes are connected via a coupling which

has an active [1] and a passive [2] side. The coupling is lo-

cked via a grub screw [3] on the active coupling side.

Protecting the connecting tubes:

The ends of the connecting tubes are protected with end

caps [4]. There is one version each for the active and

passive coupling.

Introduction

Adjustment and alignment:

A scale [1] is lasered on the connecting tubes. The scale

always starts on the active coupling side with zero and

is divided into two millimeter steps until the end of the

connecting tube. The scale allows for easier adjustment of

distances. The mark [2] helps to align the connecting tube

horizontally.

Water distribution controls: The distribution of pressuri-

zed water is regulated at the water distributor.

Cleaning brushes controls: The water distributor is sup-

plied with high pressure water at connection [1]. Lever [2]

is used to switch the brush roller on and off.

Spray nozzle controls: The spray nozzles are controlled

via levers [1] and [2]. The water quantity can be controlled

by gradual opening of the nozzle.

Set the travel limit and clearance of Sola-Tecs C:

The travel limit and clearance are set with the stop clamp.

The stop clamp can be tightened and released with the

screw [1].

Adjust the spray nozzle: By opening the clamping lever

[1], the angle adjustment is released and can be adjusted.

Introduction

Adjust brush stop: The brush stop is released and clam-

ped with screws [1] and [2].

Adjust the roll holder: The roll holder is loosened and

clamped with screws [1] and [2].

Adjust the width of the brush roller: The Sola-Tecs C

brush rollers are divided into segments. The individual seg-

ments are connected by a thread [1][2]. The width of the

cleaner can be changed by inserting or removing individual

segments.

Construction

Assembly of the

connecting tubes

Lay out the connecting tube elements at the level mounting

location as shown. The active couplings must face [down].

The first and last connecting tube element should always

be an L700. The lengths of the connecting tube elements

between the L700 must be determined according to the re-

quired installation size. Make sure that all three connecting

tubes are divided equally. The scale must be continuous

from one connecting tube element to the next. Install the

end caps to protect the connecting tube couplings that are

not required. The end caps are mounted on [VR1] and [VR3]

at the beginning and end and on [VR2] only at the end.

Couple connecting tube elements:

Insert the passive [1] coupling into the active [2] coupling.

Using the hex key 4 [3], tighten the grub screw [4] on the

active coupling to 4NM.

Couple end caps:

The end caps are designed as active [5] and passive [6].

The passive end caps are mounted on the [bottom] and

the active end caps on the [top]. Using the hex key 4 [3],

tighten the grub screw [4] on the active coupling to 4NM.
