Polywater® Solar Panel Wash is specially formulated for cleaning all types of solarpanels without oxidizing or abrading aluminum rails and mounting apparatus. Manycommon car-wash soaps and window cleaners contain alkalines that promote oxidationand require a deionized water rinse.Dust, bird droppings, pollution, pollen, tree sap, plant matter residue, etc., all reducethe overall effectiveness of solar panel generation capacity. A 2011 study by the WorldAcademy of Science, Engineering and Technology concluded that “accumulated duston the surface of photovoltaic solar panels can reduce the system’s efficiency by up to50%.” Panels must be cleaned regularly to maximize system performance and longevity.Even if only one panel in a string operates at 10% less than full capacity due tocontamination, the entire string suffers the same 10% performance loss. This is knownin the industry as the “Christmas-lights effect”. The small cost of regular cleaning withPolywater®Solar Panel Wash yields big savings by increasing panel capacity
