Dirty solar panels tend to produce less energy than clean ones, so proper cleaning is necessary to maintain or increase their efficiency. Several types of solar panel cleaning equipment include brushes, sprayers, and extender poles.

How much does it cost to clean solar panels?

The cost of solar panel cleaning varies and can be around about $100 for all the necessary equipment. However, you could also spend several hundred dollars on these cleaning tools.

What is the best cleaner to use for solar panels?

Dye-free dish soap is the best cleaner for solar panels. It is gentle on most surfaces, making it a safer option than harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia. Untreated water may also be enough to get your solar panels looking and performing their best.

How does a solar panel cleaner work?

The disc brushes have ball bearings and are driven by the water from the high-pressure cleaner. Low-pressure operation with cold water and a delivery rate of 700 to 1000 litres per hour is sufficient. A nylon bristle ensures scratch-free cleaning to protect the sensitive surfaces of the solar panels during cleaning.

How to clean a photovoltaic system?

Brushes with soft or hard bristles are available for different surfaces. We recommend soft brushes for cleaning photovoltaic systems. If you are using cleaning agents, they should be suitable for removing stubborn, greasy soiling and mineral residues. If the water film breaks down quickly, streak-free drying without limescale stains is possible.
