What is the difference between a rotating or traditional brush?
Picking the right brush for cleaning solar panels comes down to a number of factors including the size of the panels to be cleaned, how dirty they are, and what your cleaning style it.
Rotating brushes can help you work faster by quickly agitating up dirt on the surface of the panels. The drawback is that you need a power source so the brush can work.
Traditional brushes allow you the most control over how much pressure you're applying and how fast you're scrubbing, but they can take longer and be more fatiguing. The benefit is that they don't need access to a power source, just pure water.
Do I need a pure water system to clean solar panels? And if so, which one?
A pure water system allows you to easily clean solar panels and increase their efficiency without damaging the nano-coatings. No soaps or chemicals are required, making pure water a better choice for the environment too.
Any of the XERO Pure MAX systems or the Triple Pure would be suitable for solar panel cleaning. The high flow output allows you to work with longer lengths of hose to get around more panels without having to move your system.
I already clean windows, how hard is it to start cleaning solar panels?
It's super easy to transition into offering solar panel cleaning if you're already a water fed window cleaner. The purification system can be the same, and you can use your water fed pole you already have. You will probably want to invest in a new brush and you might need some additional hose length for your set up. Adding on Solar Panel Cleaning can open up more opportunities to keep you busy and generate money.
