Cleaning Solar
ways
- Use the latest cleaning robots with human element .
- Use customized cleaning solutions .
- Use water only for cleaning (without chemicals) .
- Pressure washing or cleaning with a soft cloth or customized brush .
repetition
- Inspect the panels periodically and clean them if they are clearly dirty .
- Most areas need cleaning every 3-6 months .
- Desert climates may need more frequent cleaning .
safety
- Wear appropriate PPE such as shoes, gloves and eye protection .
- Deactivate panels during cleaning if possible .
- Use non-conductive stairs and equipment for electricity .
procedure
- Start from the top of the solar panel and do the cleaning of the movements downwards to prevent the appearance of lines .
- Remove all residual cleaning solution from the plate with purified water .
water quality
- Use high quality drinking water if possible to avoid mineral deposits .
- Water filtering and treatment in hard water areas .
time of day
- We clean when the panels are cooler in the early morning or in the evening to dry better and to reduce water stains .
technical
- Handle gently to avoid scratching solar panels .
- Frequent cleaning of the tool used in cleaning so as not to accumulate debris or dust under the spaces .
full cleaning
- Remove dirt/debris from tyres, wires and solar module mounting devices entirely .
records
- Record the date of cleaning of affected panels/chains for quality control and analysis of production improvement .
snow removal
- We periodically remove snow in winter climates to avoid prolonged cover that reduces solar panel production .
