With the recent heat, homeown- ers’ electricity
usage is steadily increasing. Homeowners are realizing the need to clean and main- tain their solar panel system. Cleaning solar panels the wrong way can void warran- ties and be dangerous. Hir- ing a professional is highly recommended. Whether you hire a professional or do it yourself, there are five things you should consider when cleaning solar panels.
HARSH CHEMICALS SHOULD NEVER BE USED, AS THEY CAN DAMAGE SOLAR PANELS
Chemicals that are too harsh will remove the anti- reflective coating on your panels. This coating increas- es the capture of light and
helps the solar panels per- form at their best.
DEIONIZED AND/OR RO FILTERED WATER IS KEY Using normal hose water will leave calcium and other mineral deposits found in hard water on the glass.
For example, if you spray your car’s windshield with a hose and let it dry, it will be filled with hard water spots and will be harder to see through. Filtered water should be used to ensure you get the most amount of sun to the panels.
USING THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT IS KEY
Brushes that are too abra- sive will damage panels. Most professionals will use a specially designed, non- abrasive brush on a long carbon fiber pole to avoid stepping on panels.
