Photovoltaic Modules (Solar Panels)

• Clean the modules with water. Only the top.
• If it becomes necessary to use more than water, you can apply a mild detergent. DO NOT use strong and abrasive detergents.
• It is possible to use a windshield wiper to facilitate cleaning. Again, do not use fabrics that can cause some kind of damage to the panels.
• Clean the panels early or late, when the panels are cold and do not suffer a thermal shock.
• You can end up drying with a soft cloth or with the windshield wiper.

recommendations

• Avoid shadows: The growth of trees and other vegetation that can produce shadows on solar panels. This can lower their performance.
• Consulting with experts on the solar issue: When you decide to install your solar generation system, look for people trained in the subject; To guarantee a good installation. In this way they will make a proper study of your particular case and will have professionals at your side who can always advise you in the future, if necessary.

Frequency:

The weather and how the Solar Panels look will be a key indicator to know. The frequency can be between 1 or 2 times a year, but it will always depend on the conditions they face, depending on the area of the country where the installation is located.
