WHAT is Pure Water Solar Panel Cleaning?
Pure water or water-fed solar panel cleaning techniques are an alternative to traditional cleaning methods. Pure water solar cleaners utilize telescoping poles to reach difficult to access areas of panels and limit ladder use. The poles are fitted with a brush to agitate and remove surface grime and impurities. Pure water is delivered through the pole to the brush head through a narrow hose. The pure water washes away surface dirt and dries spot free, eliminating the need to squeegee.

WHY utilize Pure Water for Solar Panel Cleaning?
Cleaning solar panels on a regular basis will increase the efficiency of the panels. Dirty solar panels are not as efficient at producing power as clean panels. So why hire Olsen Brothers to clean the panels? Unlike glass, photovoltaic solar panels are a complex and fragile array of cells. In addition to the many benefits enjoyed by pure water window cleaners, pure water solar panel cleaners have several distinct advantages over cleaners utilizing other methods. Chemicals used to clean solar panels can actually cause damage and deteriorate the surface of the panels. Chemicals may also leave residues that attract and trap dust and pollutants. Pure water has none of these drawbacks and can not harm the environment. Pure water solar panel cleaners can also reduce their exposure to the hazard inherent in cleaning at height. Telescoping water fed poles allow operators to limit time on ladders and movement on rooftops.
WHAT Equipment is Needed to Clean Solar Panels?
Cleaning solar panels correctly requires a water-fed pole, specialized brush, and de-ionized water. First, we agitate the panels with the brush and pure water… then we rinse the entire panel with the pure, de-ionized water which will leave you with a spot-free surface and maximum efficiency from your panel system.
