1. TYPES OF WATER -Avoid Using Water with High Mineral Content
We know soft water necessary with less than 250 TDS (Our VMS soft water is fine for us). More hard water increase stains which directly affect our solar panel generation.
The most important consideration to keep in mind is that scratching or damaging the glass in any way will reduce a panel’s energy production. It’s best to approach panel cleaning the same way you might clean your car.
2. WATER PRESSURE -Do Not Use High Pressure
It should not increase more than 35 Kg / Bar. Nozzle play bigger role to increase pressure which directly force to solar panel.
A nozzle is used at the end of the pipe to control the water’s pressure. Nozzles come with a variety of added features with pressure settings.
3. WATER TEMPERATURE
It should ideally be the same as the solar panel temperature. The different of temperature is not acceptable more than 25 degrees.
Greater difference between the water and the solar panel may be cracking glass of solar panel due to thermal shock.
4. TIMING OF WASHING
“Aftersunset and or before sunrise”
Best time of washing is early morning (7 to 9 AM) or evening (6 to 8 PM). At this time production is low.
5. STAINS REMOVER – Never Use an Abrasive Material to Clean the Solar Panels
Best is Rinse the module subsequently with soft and sufficient amount of water.
If you use minimal of water which create stains and if you try to remove it than it will damages the Anti-Reflective Coating on the glass of the panel.
“Usea Soft Brush or a Sponge”
6. BACK SIDE OF PANEL
First of all it is not require routine cleaning.
Cleaning of dust only use soft sponge or micro-fiber cloth without any sharp tool which can damage the solar panel back sheet.
7. DO NOT EVER WALK ON SOLAR MODULE
