Why you must clean your panels
Dust, bird droppings, and pollution can significantly degrade your solar panel's generation capacity by up to 15-20%. In dusty regions like Rajasthan or heavy pollution areas like Delhi NCR, regular cleaning is mandatory.
The Golden Rules of Cleaning
- Never clean during peak sun: The glass is extremely hot. Spraying cold water on hot panels can cause thermal shock and crack the glass. Always clean early morning or late evening.
- Avoid abrasive brushes: Scratches on the anti-reflective coating reduces efficiency. Use a soft microfiber mop or a specialized sponge.
- Use DM (Demineralized) water if possible: Hard water leaves calcium and mineral deposits (scaling) on the glass over time.
