Solar Panel Maintenance

Service Description

Benefits of Deionised Solar Panel Cleaning Deionised (DI) water is highly recommended for cleaning solar panels due to its purity and lack of minerals or impurities. Below are the primary benefits of using deionised water for solar panel maintenance: 1. Streak-Free and Spotless Finish No Mineral Deposits: DI water contains no calcium, magnesium, or other minerals, which means it dries without leaving any spots, streaks, or residue on the panel surface. Enhanced Light Absorption: A spotless panel improves sunlight penetration, increasing the panel’s energy yield. 2. Maximises Efficiency and Performance Removes All Dirt and Grime: Deionised water effectively dissolves and lifts even stubborn dirt without the need for detergents or chemicals, ensuring panels operate at their highest efficiency. Improved Electricity Generation: Clean panels can increase output significantly—dirty panels might lose 5–25% of their efficiency. 3. Protects the Panels and Prolongs Lifespan No Scaling or Corrosion: Minerals in tap water can cause scaling and corrosion on panel surfaces, potentially reducing their lifespan. DI water helps prevent this by being completely mineral-free. Gentle Cleaning: Deionised water does not require harsh abrasives or chemicals, minimizing wear and tear on delicate surfaces. 4. Environmentally Friendly No Chemical Runoff: Cleaning with DI water eliminates the need for soaps or harsh chemicals, reducing environmental impact and pollution. Safe for Surroundings: There’s no risk of chemical damage to plants or local wildlife. 5. Cost-Effective Maintenance Reduces the Need for Repeat Cleaning: As DI water leaves no residue, panels stay cleaner for longer, reducing how frequently they need to be cleaned. Lowers Maintenance Costs: Clean panels maintain optimal efficiency longer, decreasing energy and replacement costs over time. Sustainable Practice: The filtration process needed to produce DI water does not require harmful additives, making it a sustainable cleaning solution. Cleaning solar panels with deionised water is the safest, most efficient, and environmentally responsible method available ensuring your panels remain at peak performance and last as long as possible.
