AMERICAN POLYWATER �
Solar Panel Wash
AMERICAN POLYWATER � Solar Panel Wash is specially formulated for spot-free cleaning of all types of solar panels without oxidizing or abrading aluminum rails and mounting apparatus. Many common car-wash soaps and window cleaners contain alkalines that promote oxidation and require a deionized water rinse.
Dust, bird droppings, pollution, pollen, tree sap, plant matter residue, etc., all reduce the overall effectiveness of solar panel generation capacity. A 2011 study by the World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology concluded that �accumulated dust on the surface of photovoltaic solar panels can reduce the system�s efficiency by up to 50%.� 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 to contamination, the entire string suffers the same 10% performance loss. This is known in the industry as the �Christmas-lights effect�. The small cost of regular cleaning with AMERICAN POLYWATER � Solar Panel Wash yields big savings by increasing panel capacity.
