We have solar panels on our roof. What is the best way to clean them so they will function more effectively?
The easiest way is to buy Windex Outdoor spray that you attach to your garden hose.
Just follow the directions on the bottle.
I've used outdoor window cleaning sprays (other companies besides Windex have them) and I highly recommend them, for windows and solar panels. It's great that you're remembering t clean them they work so much better when they're clean.
Take a look at www.thespongewizard.com
Look at video and if interested buy on amazon
We have found it works because everyday water
Leaves a haze .
Call the company that makes the solar panels and ask what to use. Good Luck.
Search Google for "how to clean solar panels" and you get a LOT of hits. This was the first one: http://www.energymatters.com.au/panels-modules/cleaning-solar-panels/
YouTube also has videos on how to accomplish this. Here's one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1W3lHpNszg
Just spray plain water on them you don't need a bunch of window cleaner unless you need to waste money. Just rinse off the dust and you're done.
Our solar company and the installers said not to do anything to them at all. I'd check with your company before using any cleaners or get on the roof!
I went to walmart and purchased a brush that you attach the; garden hose to it and just washed the panels. Very easy and fast to clean with. My panels are a few inches of space between them and the spray and wash to me is too much of a hassle
Very simple:
