The best way to assure your project is performing at its best is through a solar panel monitoring system.
Using rainx on solar panels.
Car wax on a solar panel.
If deciding to use a little bit.
I wipe them with a car cleaner duster type thing as it gets extremely dusty with building sites nearby.
Your solar panels need to be exposed to sunlight in order to produce power.
But as i can t see any immediate downside i took the opportunity to put rain x on all the panels.
Chinese scientists have developed a way for solar panels to produce electricity using rain water.
How much difference it would make to the efficiency of the panels i have no idea.
They coated the bottom side of the solar cell with a thin layer of graphene which interacts with.
If you do use something other than just water especially to get rid of pesky bird droppings just make sure what you re using is soft and hard bristle free.
They re quite slick and will shed rain snow dirt debris pretty much on their own.
You can track this data over time to calculate the degradation of your panels.
Look at em once in a while.
Sponges are great products to clean solar panels with because they won t scratch.
I tried rain x on one of the panels on an array when it was setup outside the balcony window since moved location and about to setup my panels again it make no difference after worn off 3 months.
Is rain x original glass treatment safe to use on solar panels.
Outsmart the elements with rain x wiper blades windshield treatments washes waxes and tar and bug repellent products.
Don t waste your time effort and money with car wax or rainx or any such stuff.
However unless you live somewhere with high amounts of smog dust dirt or sand blowing around solar panel cleaning is generally not necessary in most cases occasional rain will be enough to naturally and safely keep your solar panels clean and free of debris that could lower production.
It s a small but noticeable difference which i think would get bigger with time.
Little difference within the first 3 months.
The rain x panel seemed to have a little less rain residue dust dirt on it.
