While cleaning solar panels is no rocket science and can be equated with regular washing of your car. There are certain things that need to be remembered to guarantee the elongated service life and efficiency of the system. Wrong cleaning practices, bad quality water, and use of inappropriate cleaning agents Read more…
Cleaning systems must complete the approval process outlined below for First Solar compliance andmodule warranty support. Required documentation is outlined below and should be submitted to theFirst Solar Technical Support team. Additional information may be requested upon review of the design.Checklist MSDS & datasheets on the brush material Two samples Read more…
We have compiled the module cleaning guidelines from the Warranty and Installation Documents of different PV modules about Soiling & Cleaning which are as follows: 1. JINKO Solar Warranty Document: Exclusions: subject to direct contact with corrosive agents or salt water; pest damage; or malfunctioning PV system components; Installation Manual: Read more…
As the solar installations are getting a larger size, the quantum of water used for PV module cleaning is becoming unsustainable. Typically we spend about 2 liters of water to clean a PV module, which translates to about 6000 Liter of water per MW per cleaning cycle. In desert areas Read more…
Firstgreen specializes in providing robotic PV module cleaning services. We use the highest quality professional grade robotic equipment’s which are specially designed for providing solar module cleaning in existing as well as new solar installations. The use of robotic PV module cleaning reduces the module deterioration due to dirt and Read more…
Growing energy demands, rising concerns over climate change, and volatile oil prices in the last decade have led to the need to produce more electricity from renewables. Due to the abundance of solar resource and advancements in the efficiency of Photovoltaic (PV) modules, solar energy is fast emerging as a Read more…
The regular cleaning of solar modules results is optimized power output and protects installations against costly failures. For many years, it was believed that solar panels didn’t need cleaning. Today, the cleaning of solar panels is widely accepted as a necessity rather than a luxury. In fact, in order to Read more…
Solar cells may be pushing the limits of efficiency, but they can only work optimally if they are kept clean. Norwegian engineers have developed a cleaning robot that allows solar panels to deliver at full capacity. Solar energy farms and arrays can consist of hundreds of square meters of solar Read more…
Allowing the dust to accumulate on solar panels without adequate cleaning leads to huge monetary losses. Proper judgment of when to call for washing of solar panels is a compromise between gross costs of cleaning the panels and how much reduction in efficiency of solar panels can be tolerated. From Read more…
India is blessed with tremendous solar energy resources. It has the potential to be amongst the top three countries globally in the next five years in terms of installed capacity of renewable energy. The solar module in order to produce power requires direct irradiance. However, other than internal factors (such Read more…
