Your purchase of Green Power solar panels represents an important investment. Allowing solar panels to become dirty due to airborne particles, bird droppings, and tree leaves can greatly diminish your solar power output. In other words, you are not getting the production and your maximum return-on-investment. If solar panels are never cleaned you not only lose a significant amount of power, you also risk losing the panels.

While many factors impact solar power production in solar panels, experts agree that you will lose power. That loss may range as high as 25% in some areas according to the National Renewable Energy laboratory. Individual dealers have reported losses as high as 30% for some customers who failed to ever clean their panels.

The Green Power Automatic Solar Panel Cleaning System places spray nozzles at each panel. Our specially formulated soap concentrate is mixed into the line for the wash cycle to clean the panels. There is also a second rinse cycle. Panels are washed approximately every one to two weeks. It is recommended that the panels be rinsed only every two to three days to keep accumulations of dirt and debris from building up on the panels.

The Green Power Automatic Solar Panel Cleaning System uses low volume nozzles that will not damage your solar panels. Our system is not like a pressure washer.

No, Green Power requires that only our licensed solar panel dealers install our cleaning system.

Green Power soap concentrate is specifically formulated by a chemical company. The concentrate level is calculated for use in water systems to ensure the correct amount of soap is applied to the panels. Each row of panels is washed, one at a time. The soap remains on the panels until all rows are washed. The system then returns to the first row and repeats the cycle, rinsing only.

While the rinsing cycles may be done anytime during the day, washing should only occur when sun is not shining directly on the panels. Our automatic controller allows you to set a convenient time during hours of darkness for the washing cycle.

Our soap concentrate is designed to clean solar panels without any damage to the solar panels, roofing materials, plants or animals. The concentrate formula is biodegradable, even over time with constant use. Some cleaning products, while biodegradable if used once, may create a toxic build-up if used continually.

Use of any other cleaning product voids the warranty on the Green Power system and runs the risk of damage to the solar panels, or injury to animals and plants.

The Green Power Automatic Solar Panel Cleaning System is fully automatic. The only thing the owner needs to do after initially programming the controller is to replace the soap concentrate as it is used. The de-ionized water filter also needs to be replaced approximately every six months. Your Green Power Dealer will offer you an optional maintenance program to provide worry-free, zero effort, uninterrupted service.

All parts on the Green Power system are warranted for ten years.

The Green Power system component box has a five-gallon reservoir for the soap. The amount of soap usage depends on the number of panels in your system and the frequency that the panels are washed. For a standard 50 solar panel residential system you would replace soap and filters approximately once every six months, assuming the system is washed every two weeks. We recommend you allow your Green Power Dealer to service your system on an affordable regular maintenance program.
