Cleaning and nanotechnology: how to improve the performance of your photovoltaic system

With the continuous spread of installations of photovoltaic systems - mainly located in private homes - one of the most sought-after questions on the internet and often asked by industry experts is "whether and how solar panel modules should be clean".

In order to answer this question, it is possible to examine some studies which testify that the lack of detergency of the panels leads to a decrease in performance of the system up to a maximum of 30% of its efficiency.

Furthermore, this carelessness could even lead to shortening the life cycle of the plant itself.

Thorough cleaning, therefore, must be carried out periodically and not left exclusively to the cleaning action of the rain.

Its frequency will depend on various factors such as the positioning of the system – for example if installed near marine areas – or repeated exposure to pollutants and/or strong winds.

To ensure deep cleaning that guarantees optimal efficiency, it will be necessary to rely on professional products such as Deter Solar and Nanotech Solar, specific formulations designed by Chemical Roadmaster for cleaning and protection of the transparent surfaces of solar panels.

Thanks to the correct use of the Deter Solar concentrated detergent, it will be possible to easily obtain the total removal of limescale residues, smog, incrustations and carbon black, guaranteeing a perfect irradiation of the solar modules.

Furthermore, its use ensures that it does not damage the metals and rubbers that make up the system.

In combination with this cleaner, Nanotech Solar can be used.

This innovative formulation, based on special nanotechnological additives - used after cleaning the panel - will be able to protect with a anti-dirt effect and stain-resistant the treated surface, keeping it clean for as long as possible, increasing its efficiency and therefore the average yield.
