This is correct. Do not use cold water on solar panels when it’s 100 degrees . You will shatter the glass. Early in the morning would be the best time for sure.
At 1:50 it says they are using deionized water. At 2:00 it says, "the negatively charged water attracts debris like a magnet". Deionized water will allow things to dissolve into it, but it is definitely not negatively charged.
Actually... not to brag or anything, but you're correct. Doing it the "unprofessional way" I've found to result in some crystallization, this causes refraction of the sunlight increasing the solar panel's effectiveness! For small fee we can do yours!
It's exactly the kind of operations that are absolutely necessary and can negate the ecological benefit of using rooftop solar panels, if not done properly. All of it takes energy. The guy probably used his car to go to that house, plus the products he uses. It might be an issue if it's a dusty environment and they have to repeat it several times a year. Less so, if the cleaner optimizes his movements and cleans all the panels in the vicinity during the same day. Modern panels are much better than 20 years ago. It is now recognized that it takes only a few years to cover the energy cost of the fabrication. But it is theoretical. Maintenance isn't properly accounted for, nor the delivery and installation costs in remote areas, not disposal, because those costs vary tremendously depending on the location and the number of panels. It's very easy to miss hidden costs. That's why they shouldn't subsidize renewable energies, nor any kind of energy. It falsifies all the economic calculation. It's just an approximation, of course, but considering that there are fossil fuels involved in all the steps of the life cycle of the object, it is safe to assume that if it is not economically viable, it is probably not ecologically relevant either. The price system is the only way to make sure that nothing is missed in the calculation, from the very first miner who extract the raw materials to the very least cleaner. Price works, because, if at any point someone finds that the cost is too high and the operation doesn't make sense, he will refuse to do the job, or find a way to reduce the cost.
In SoCal electrical bills are extremely high 60% higher than the national average. Minimum charge is about $200-$259. When the average electric bill a year is around $3500-$4500 and extremely reducing your energy bill with solar, paying to keep your investment performing at peak potential 1-2 times a year is a no brainer. Most people will spend around $100 for car washes a month on a new car which gives no investment what so ever. Maintenance for your solar investment is a long term investment.
I'm looking at this thinking 🤔 If I can climb to the roof and it's not a risk of falling... It's a $12 extension soft broom with water a tiny bit of soap and hose it all off 🙄 It's ALMOST like cleaning bathroom glass with a squeegee... Man I'm in the wrong business if they are making $$ doing this for a living!
The manufacturer of our solar panels recommended that we give our solar panels a clean every several months with a soft bristled broom and soapy water. Easy
@@blackbusinessdirectory8952 I certainly wouldn’t be squirting dishwashing detergent over the panel, but I put it in the bucket with water then you say soft brush pole to clean the panels,. Rinse with a hose when I’m finished.. I’m guessing that’s preferable to having a heavy layer of dust accumulate on the panels which will tend to get stuck the longer remains. The panels have been up for 14 years, and no discernible degradation.
1- would you pay extra for that? 2- would you go to the top of the roof regularly and refill the water tank? 3- Would you pay even more to have someone connect a water pipe to the system so that you don't need to go up there? 4- how would you know the wipers are used and need replacement? 5- would you go up there and change it? 6- Would you be interested in doing that far more often than you change your cars wipers because the panels get very hot and that will ruin the rubber? 7- Will you pay extra for a system that will fail eventually and when it does, it will ruin your panels? 8- if you do say yes to all of the above, how will you be able to tell that there is not anything on the panels that can scratch it, before you turn the system on, as you can't see it as you do on your windscreen?
Deionized means no ions, but yet they mention negatively charged water? And these panels are exposed to rain water day in and out, so seems like deionized water would be a waste. But other than that, props to him! Seems like a tough job under the hot sun.
Its just better for cleaning. As a window cleaner I use the same system, it's just the standard water purifying system. Tap water gets rated as PPM (parts per million), depending on where you live depends how high that number is and indicates how hard the water is...non water particles to water particles. So he'll put tap water through a sediment filter, them a carbon filter, deionizer then a reverse osmosis filter bringing the PPM down to zero. So no streaks or spotting on the panels or windows. Also the deionized water technically attacks dirt and helps draw it off the surface...very boring I know!
Here in SoCal we rarely get any rain and panels do need to be cleaned for optimal energy production. In areas where there is frequent rain fall I'm sure the panels stay fairly clean and maintenance free but not here in San Diego or SoCal.
I used to work as a roofer. Did it for about a year and a half. I think I used a harness once. The roof is nowhere near steep enough to necessitate the use of a harness.
Rain-X will make the solar panels a lot more shiny, causing more sun light to be reflected away rather than absorbed. This is why you shouldn’t use any car wash or detergents as well as detergents leaving a film and attracting more debris.
Walking on roofing composition shingles is a good way to ruin them. Walking on tile roofing is never recommended. If you have somebody use this method, get it in writing that they will fix all leaks caused by walking on the roof. You won't get any takers.
Most businesses that require work on a roof(mine included) have it in writing already that they are NOT responsible for roof leaks due to damage. It's always a risk for both worker and homeowner - not to mention, there is a right way and a wrong way to walk on roof tiles
In my experience the solar panels have a brown stain that will not come off with this method. That is just dust on solar panels not what happens in real life at all

I always thought mounting a water tank, pump and sprayer in a drone would help wash the solar panels, mounting a leaf blower might help clear snow. Of course, the drone software would have to compensate for the unwanted thrust. There are those window washing robots that use a vacuum to hold themselves to a window, someone should make a housing for one that can be attached to the solar panels, mind you it still would have to be brought down to changes the washing pads, maybe the entire housing could be removed and replaced by drone. Maybe they should just put window wipers on the solar panels.
A skilled pilot can compensate for the thrust issue. Window wipers are not expensive enough for solar panels. You'd need to rebadge as solar panel wipers to increase the price... and also change to "vipers" for extra bite. Thank me later :)
@@mikesalive Except that the modern drones are only stable due to computers controlling the stability of the craft with minimal input from the operator. Before the revelation of semi-auronomous drones by the military, the market was restricted to hobbyists building remote controlled helicopters without computer control and they were notoriously difficult to operate. Perhaps the operator could compensate but most of modern drone stability are from the software not the operator.
We have had customers report having up to a little over 40% efficiency gain after cleaning their panels for the first time. Remember that the geographical location of the solar panels play a big roll in production and how often they should be cleaned. Here in SoCal we get the least amount of rain fall than anywhere in the nation so the panels will build up grime. Same as a really dirty windshield, it's hard to look through and hard for the photons from the sun tp penetrate.
This seems like such a scam. The difference in production from the before to after is negligible. The energy is produced in radiant energy that penetrates minimal dust and dirt, the "juice isn't worth the squeeze." Talking from experience having washed my solar panels and looked at the before and after data from the systems ECU. I think it showd a 5% increase in production that lasted about 24-48 hours and returned to pre-clean levels quickly due to normal dust accumulation. That translates into about 50 cents on a 12.5 KW system like mine. I bet they charge a lot more than 50 cents to do that job, plus the extra wear and tear on your roof that can shorten it's life.
Hi Kevin, I’m the owner of South Bay Solar Cleaning. I Haven’t read any of these comments in a long long time. As much as we are told Solar panels are maintenance free, that is not the case…at least in Southern California. We get the least amount of rain fall than anywhere in the nation. The number 1 calls we get daily are from customers solar systems under performing by 30-45% than normal. It all varies depending on geographical location. We find issues with lichen build up to salt build up near the beaches and heavy debris, pollen, overspray, tree sap etc. stuck on the panels. We have had a few customers warranty voided and paid out of pocket to replace panels due to not following manufacturer’s instructions on maintenance and cleaning. So depending on your geographical location this may not be a service that’s needed as much. In SoCal it’s an essential service for sure. There’s a lot more to just cleaning Solar panels, we deal with pigeon infestations underneath the panels too. You can check out our work on our RUclips channel South Bay Solar Cleaning. Remember, there isn’t anything that is maintenance free. I hope you have a better understanding of what we’re doing and why this type of business is strongly thriving especially in the commercial solar cleaning sector, we have some commercial cleaning videos on our RUclips channel as well. Wishing you the best and have a great rest of the year🙌.
@@marcos619824 Marcos, is there ever a problem with applying cold water to sun hot panels in the noon sun? I'd be worried about cracking or breakage from the sudden temperature difference. Thanks!

@@mikesalive Because they are just less efficient, as easy as that. If you would cover the same area with normal solar modules and with a solar roof, the modules would have higher watt peak and thus more production
The most important part of our service is to remove the thick layer of grime and debris that starts to bake onto the glass and build up over time. A thin layer of dust may not cause much of a decrease in production but over time the panels gather much more than just dust. Geographical location plays a big roll on how dirty and how often your panels may need to be cleaned. Here in SoCal we rarely get any rain fall.
@@ancientferret Actually,you need DI or RO tanks to clean the solar panels for a spotless free rinse, and it's not as easy as it looks. Plus if you're the home owner and you clean your own panels you void the warranty on the solar panels.
@@purplegold714Yeah I saw the video. Dude its literally just water and a brush, don't underestimate yourself. The fact you have to pay for solar panel cleaning is already an absurdity on its own.

What is the best time to clean them? If it's 100 degrees and sunny won't that hurt the glass on the panels putting cold water on them?

i wouldn't worry so much about damaging the panels with the brush. Some of these newer panels are less fragile and can take a beating

Generally speaking, anything that takes a beating will wear out sooner than something that does not.
