RFFM SOLAR
PANEL CLEANING

Everything from dust to grime to fallen leaves can get on your solar panels and cause efficiency problems. Leaves are obvious. Dust, grime, and pollen are less obvious, but they do also reduce efficiency significantly

When your solar panels are back to working at full capacity, you will save much more money on your electricity. Most homes and businesses that use solar panels are still hooked up to the grid, and the owners get money back from the utilities companies for feeding energy into the grid. Higher efficiency means higher amounts of electricity, which in turn means more savings and higher kickbacks from your utilities company.

• Dust

• Grime

• Pollen

• Leaves

• Tree Debris

• Bird Poop

• Salt Water (If near Ocean)

• Corrosion

• Rain and Water Spots

Depending on your location, usually annually is sufficient however in some areas it is necessary to have the panels cleaned twice a year.

Never attempt to clean your own panels. Apart from the associated risks when climbing on a roof, a professional will be aware of electrical faults and avoid possible electric shocks.

You only need to look at your car after it has been out in the elements for a period of time. What was once a clean white car is now a shade of brown. Rain actually contributes to the problem especially if your panels are affected by lichen or the tilt of the panels is minimal.

NO. It’s a sales gimmick. Solar companies are primarily selling solar systems with large profits and are more interested in the thousands of dollars they can make from a new sale, not the pocket change from actually providing customers with a full-service offering.

In simple terms NO... the coating is Invisible to the human eye (coating thickness: 50 - 60 nm)

The product we use has been extensively tested and found to be Biologically safe and Ecologically beneficial.

Once applied it becomes part of the surface giving the surface hydrophobic and self-cleaning properties. The coating's self-cleaning effect stops dust, pollen, pollution and bird faeces from sticking to solar panels and water simply beads off when it rains

YES, dirty panels can lose up to 30% efficiency in a relative small space of time and nano coating keeps them cleaner for longer. You also save on cleaning cost as cleaning coated panels is much easier in comparison to uncoated panels.

Rain is ideal as the water droplets bead off the panels taking any contaminants with it; however it is just as important to have panels coated in areas where rain is minimal as it stops contaminants sticking to the surface with its self cleaning properties.
