CLEANING PLAN

The cleaning schedule for MAP rice will be submitted in detail upon completion of project. We foresee
a cleaning schedule of 7-10 Days (2 week schedule during monsoon period). The MAP Rice staff will be
trained to perform the cleaning activities. The actual cleaning plan will emerge during installation and
during first three months of active maintenance and will depend of different degrees of soiling at different
locations.

 Fresh water (TDS < 1500 mg/L) may be used to clean the modules. If needed, a mild, non-abrasive,
non-caustic detergent with a final fresh water and detergent solution mix between 6.5 < pH < 8.5 at
25°C may be used.

 Water must be free of floating oil or other immiscible liquids, floating debris, excessive turbidity, and
objectionable odors.

 When using water, RO water provides the best results. When RO water is not available, tap water
with low mineral content (total hardness < total hardness < 180 mg/L).
 Chlorides should not exceed 250 mg/ml and water conductivity should be < 250 mS/cm

 Do not use abrasive cleaners or de-greasers on the module. Do not use cleaning solutions containing
hydrochloric acid, D-Limonene, ammonia, or sodium hydroxide.

 Water pressure must not exceed 35 bar (500 psi) at the nozzle. Do not apply water that is more than
20°C warmer or colder than module surface temperature.
 Do not spray pressurized water directly at sealed interfaces of module (junction box, edge seal, and
connectors). Do not brush or clean backside of module to avoid accidental stress to lead wires or
junction box.
