    Solar Panel Cleaning: Why Windex and Tap Water Are a Big No-No

    Homeowners with solar panels are often looking for the best ways to maintain their investment, but a recent video from SolarExpressCleaning highlights critical mistakes to avoid. The video, which has garnered significant attention, demonstrates how common household products like Windex and even regular tap water can severely damage solar panels and void warranties. According to the video, using soaps or hard water on solar panels can lead to several detrimental outcomes. Firstly, it can void the manufacturer's warranty, leaving homeowners unprotected against future issues. Secondly, such cleaning agents can damage the anti-reflective (AR) coating on the panels, reducing their efficiency. Furthermore, these products often leave behind a film that can attract and hold dirt, counteracting the cleaning effort and causing dirt to build up faster. The video also warns against using water directly from a garden hose, explaining that it can leave mineral deposits and scaling, which further reduces panel efficiency. Most critically, it highlights the danger of electrocution if deionized (DI) water is not used, emphasizing a significant safety risk for DIY cleaners. The experts behind the video advise against attempting to clean solar panels with unapproved chemicals or hard water. They recommend seeking professional solar cleaning services that utilize specialized equipment and approved solutions to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of solar energy systems.
