A few tips on how not to clean solar panels
The first and most im- portant thing is never to use a power washer
or harsh chemicals. You will damage your panels and void a lot of manufacturers’ warranties.
With the recent heat, many homeowners’ electric- ity usage is increasing, and they are realizing the need to clean and maintain their solar systems.
Cleaning your solar pan- els the wrong way can void your warranty and can be very dangerous. Hiring a professional is usually rec- ommended.
If you are looking to hire a professional — or want to do it yourself — here are five things to consider when getting your solar panels cleaned.
Harsh chemicals can dam-
age the panels.
Never use harsh chemi-
cals on your panels. Chemi- cals that are too harsh will remove the anti-reflective coating on your panels. This coating increases the cap- ture of light and helps the solar panel perform as its peak performance.
DEIONIZED AND/OR RO- FILTERED WATER IS KEY TO CLEANING
Using normal hose water will leave calcium and other mineral deposits contained in the hard water on the glass. For example, spray
your car windshield with a hose and let it dry.
It will be filled with hard water spots and be harder to see out of. You want the most amount of sun to get to the panel, and these hard water spots affect perfor- mance.
THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT FOR THE RIGHT JOB
You can’t use a brush that is too abrasive, as it will damage the panel. Most professionals will use a specially designed non-abrasive brush on a long carbon-fiber pole
