Securing your solar investment
%
How not to clean your solar panels. The first and most important
thing is never to use a power washer or harsh chemicals. You will damage your pan- els and void a lot of manu- facturers’ warranties. With the recent heat, many home- owners’ electricity usage is increasing, and they are re- alizing 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 recom- mended. 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 DAMAGE THE PANELS
Never use harsh chemicals on your panels. Chemicals that are too harsh will remove the anti-reflective coating on your panels. This coating in- creases the capture of light and helps the solar panel perform as its peak perfor- mance.
DEIONIZED AND/OR RO-FILTERED WATER
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 per- formance.
THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT FOR THE RIGHT JOB
You can’t use a brush that is too abrasive, as it will dam- age the panel. Most profes- sionals will use a specially
designed nonabrasive brush on a long carbon-fiber pole — since you shouldn’t be walking on the panels. It is not recommended to use aluminum poles or any other matter that is highly conduc- tive while working around electricity.
NEVER PRESSURE WASH
High pressure can damage the panel’s reflective coating or break the glass. It is never recommended to use high pressure on solar panels. Also, if the pressure washer doesn’t use filtered water, you end up with hard water spots on the panels.
INSPECTION
Most solar cleaning com- panies will offer an inspection of your home’s solar system. Most homeowners lack the knowledge or do not have the specialized equipment to inspect the solar system.
