Tips for cleaning solar panel glass
For safety reasons, it’s also wise to clean your panels from the ground if possible. A good quality
soft brush and a squeegee with a plastic blade on one side and a cloth covered sponge on the other
coupled with a long extension can make for the perfect tools allowing you to stay on the ground.
▶
Clean your panels on an overcast day with no sun, early in the morning or in the evening. If the sun is
beating down on the panels , any water used can quickly evaporate and dirt will become smeared.
▶
Early morning can be a particularly good time for cleaning as dew that has
steeled on the panels overnight will likely have a softened grime; meaning you’ll
need to use less water and less energy to clean your solar panels.
▶
If the panels are dry, before tackling the modules with water, brush off
any loose materials, this will make cleaning easier and faster.
▶
Don’t use metal objects or harsh abrasive products for removing hard stains on materials,
scratching the glass a solar panel can affect its performances as scratches will cast shadows.
▶
Avoid using detergents if possible as these may streak the glass of the panel.
To use abrasive powders also risks scratching the panels.
▶
Given the nature of good quality solar panel glass, clean water and a little scrubbing with a
coarse cloth covered sponge or soft brush should remove the most stubborn grime.
▶
The cleaning interval is recommended once in two months at normal weather conditions.
