Solar Panel Cleaning: A Guide to Safe and Effective Maintenance

Every purchase requires maintenance, and maintenance demands your attention and effort. As a customer, you’ve made a significant investment in installing solar panels. While you may hesitate to incur additional costs for regular panel cleaning, we at Arise Solar, as responsible suppliers, aim to assist you in cleaning them yourself. However, it’s crucial to be cautious!

To safeguard your warranty, adhere closely to the installation guidelines.

In such cases, waiting for rain isn’t advisable; instead, consider cleaning them yourself. However, DIY cleaning involves handling electricity, water, and heights, presenting potential hazards.

Ensure to turn off your solar system. If you’re unsure about the correct procedure, reach out to an expert at Arise Solar for guidance.

Step 3: 

Consider utilizing the easiest cleaning technique recognized for its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Simply spray water onto the surface of the solar panel array. 

Step 4: 

Gently clean the panels using a soft bristle brush, followed by a smooth wipe with a cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could scratch the antireflective coating. 

Your solar panels are now sparkling clean and ready to Gear the sun’s energy efficiently!

Cleaning solar panels on your own carry risks. If you’re uncomfortable with the whole cleaning process, don’t hesitate to seek assistance from a professional cleaning service.
