Been using my hose for the past 15 years on my panels. they're still holding up fine

[robdphoto]

So instead of using tap water or pure water, how about just cleaning panels while it's raining? Rain water can't be that bad for panels, because they have to deal with it constantly, so just use a brush in the rain? Tell me I'm crazy. Obviously, I'm talking from the point of view of a PV owner who only has to do this every year or so, not a PV cleaning business.

[khworker]

Pitching special water regardless of the type of panel. Perceived added value. Awesome

[BBradshaw]

How do you purify the water? Filtering all that water to 0 TDS could get expensive right?

[juancontreras]

What do you recommend using instead of tap water? Like an RV filter attachment thingy?

[SuperSushidog]

So what happens when it rains if regular water can't be used to clean my panels? If the rain won't hurt them then why does tap water hurt them?

[danielsundstrom]

Maybe to eliminate people from questioning your expertise, you could touch on how the manufacturer recommends cleaning some of the most installed solar panels. I did a quick search about manufacture recommendations and it confirmed most of everything you are saying.

[peterwong]

One very important thing that this video did not mention is to find out how to probably turned off the solar system before cleaning them to avoid injuries or death!

[Brownieacornshow]

If you use a large soft brush and soap you can certainly use a squeegee and regular tap water. Distilled water is overkill. The squeegee will wipe away any possibility of hard water stains. And you can use a towel to dry and excess water.

[KaylaJoyGunn]

Can I use battery acid to break down the dirt on my panels before doing a final rinse with RO filtered water?

[KILLTIMECLIPS]

Might seem like a silly question but where do I get pure water?

[edwinpino]

Using common sense would tell you that regular water and light detergent ones with no ammonia or acids would do the job. If regular water will do harm then snow rain and acid rain will destroy panels. Looking at how quality panels are made, they are durable and not delicate. Pure water and other gimmicks will create jobs and make money. The better way to sell such services is to explain all the safety reasons you don’t want to DIY or sell to those not having time.

[vincentrobinette]

My biggest fear is splashing cold water on hot panels, and thermal shocking the glass. If I were to clean panels, I would want to do it early morning, late evening, or best yet, during a overcast rainy day. Rain water may actually be better than tap water. Rather than using a squeegee, I would rather use a soft brush, or a micro fiber cloth. A squeegee may be necessary if scraping off bird deposits. Having a cell partially covered can lead to hot spotting of that individual photovoltaic cell within a panel. It is necessary to make sure there isn't a single leaf, or, any other opaque debris covering a cell.

I'm about to clean our panels for the first time. I was about to do 3 out of your top 5 mistakes. So I thumbs up and subscribed. I cannot wait to LEARN from you. Thank you for sharing.

[musk-eteer]

i use tap to clean my panels and final rinse with soft water. after 10yrs panels still lookin' brand new.

[niteowl]

Soo, ummmm.... where do you get pure water to clean the panels? Do you use an in line filter or softener? Softening chemical that attaches to the hose?

[chimneytechsweep]

How do get lichen off? Its stubborn and my solar brush will not get it i can rub it with my finger but i didnt want to harm the panel

[lloydhumphreys]

Good to know, thanks , I'm starting a solar cleaning and window cleaning business

[jamcdona]

I'm calling to have mine cleaned; they haven't been cleaned since installed in 2015! I so want to ceramic coat these things, but I'm not sure if that would be good for the surface or not.

[SamanthaNickole]

Me watching this after literally JUST having sprayed my solar panels with the garden hose:😳😑😬😕
