What happens to solar panels that haven’t been cleaned for a long time?
1. The dust on the board is too thick, and fallen leaves cover the glass board, causing no photochemical reaction and extremely low power generation efficiency.
2. The accumulation of dirt on the board surface, the corrosion of the glass board by bird droppings and residual rainwater, reduces its service life，It may even cause a hot spot effect and cause the solar panel to catch fire.
So, it is important to clean solar panels in a timely manner, so what are the points to pay attention to when cleaning solar panels：
1. Before cleaning, data analysis such as electricity should be recorded truthfully to eliminate hidden dangers of leakage and ensure personal safety.
2. Do not clean as much as possible in high temperature, heavy rain, thunderstorm, and heavy snow. It is also necessary to avoid washing in winter to prevent the low temperature and water vapor from forming ice cubes, dirt accumulation, and ice cubes easily fracturing photovoltaic panels. It is recommended to choose morning and evening and time periods with weak sunlight to clean to reduce potential safety hazards.
3. When cleaning, the staff should stand at a distance of less than 1 meter from the edge of the photovoltaic module. It is forbidden to step on photovoltaic system equipment such as photovoltaic modules, guide rail brackets, cable trays, etc., or rely on the component boards and brackets in other ways. When washing with a water pressure gun, attention should be paid to the problem of degree of impact, and the impact pressure should be controlled within a reasonable range to avoid accidents caused by improper stress on the equipment board.
The use of automated smart device cleaning is suggested here to improve safety.
It is a suitable choice to use pure nylon material for the cleaning brush. The soft nylon filaments will not scratch the photovoltaic panel equipment and components and can be cleaned.
