Folding Solar Panel cleaning precautions.
2023-02-28
In general, folding solar panels are installed at a certain Angle to better receive sunlight, or the roof itself has a certain Angle of the "man" font, folding solar panels directly onto the surface of the roof, which means they will be rain to keep themselves clean.
But if you're in a low-rainfall area, you might have periods of drought, during which time dust, guano and other air pollution can accumulate on folding solar panels over time, and if there are trees near folding solar panels, especially deciduous trees, they can drop their leaves on the panels and attract birds. The build-up of each of these things affects the efficiency of the panels, and it makes sense that when the panels are not affected by these things, the efficiency of solar energy conversion might peak.
How often should you clean your folding solar panels?
In general, for areas that do not rain all year round, it is best to clean up once every six months. However, if you experience extreme weather conditions for a long time, such as fires, dust storms, or heavy rains, then you may need to clean the panel more frequently. Or homes near highways or construction sites -- both of which produce too much air dust and will need to clean folding solar panels more frequently.
How to clean folding solar panels.
Safety first, basically, anyone should go up on the roof and do some high altitude work while wearing a safety rope or a hard hat. Also choose a cool day to go up on the roof and clean it, as roofs usually emit a lot of heat, which can make the job more difficult.
If you want to clean folding solar panels yourself, you should find a suitable material to use. For best results and to ensure you don't scratch the solar panel, simply clean dirt and debris with water and a soft non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Just as you would with a window or a car wash, dry with absorbent water to avoid leaving residue. If soap is needed, do not use anything stronger or more irritating than the detergent used to wash dishes, so as not to corrode the surface of the folding solar panels.
What not to do.
To avoid damaging the panel when cleaning it yourself, make sure you use the correct supplies. Do not use:
1.Harsh soaps, such as strong detergents or soaps containing chemicals, because they can corrode the surface of folding solar panels.
2.Rough cleaning tools, such as an emery cloth or a big-toothed broom, may scratch the surface of the panel.
3.Also never stand on folding solar panels, as the weight may cause them to crack.
Don't forget to check the panel regularly。

Don't forget to check the panel regularly。
Also, don't forget to check the folding solar panels regularly to make sure they are not damaged or cracked, and that there are no nests built by birds and rodents.Of course, if conditions permit, you can also ask a professional to help you clean the folding solar panels.
