San Clemente, CA - (NewMediaWire) - August 29, 2022 - Soilar Technologies, a next generation PV soiling mitigation technology company, introduces the Ultimate Guide to Solar Panel Cleaning Equipment.

In the next 8 years, the USA will be installing 1.1 billion solar panels for just the commercial, industrial, and utility-scale segments. However, if these solar panels are dirty, they do not produce energy. Soiling on solar panels reduces performance, reliability, and asset life. As part of the customer awareness campaign, Soilar Technologies has introduced the following guide to help the industry face each solar panel cleaning challenge with a better understanding of the industry's existing tools.

Solar panel cleaning can be divided into 3 main buckets.

These introductory guidelines are for the commercial, industrial, and utility scale segment. For more information, please visit www.soilar.tech. To define the right solar panel cleaning equipment, it is imperative that you analyze the following factors to get it right.

Water consumption and water availability

Commercial Solar Panel Cleaning Equipment

Commercial installations vary in size and form, and they have less panels than solar farms. Commercial and industrial solar installations are typically in urban areas and the main challenge is that you need to solve lots of logistical problems to clean less panels than in a solar farm situation.

Solar Farms also vary significantly in size and form. To define the right equipment it is imperative to understand the solar installation types to decide which machinery works best and to understand that remoteness is typical with solar farms. These installations are typically not in urban areas and the cleaning company has high logistical complications and high volume of panels to clean.

Solar Installation Type is the most important factor when defining the equipment to face the cleaning challenge.

Solar panel cleaning is a segment that is growing just as solar energy is growing. The need to be more effective and efficient is real. Solar panel cleaning equipment analysis is also the first step in PV Soiling mitigation.

NextGen PV soiling mitigation aims to help solar asset owners create

4) Comply with manufacturer's warranty requirements.

What is NextGen PV Soiling Mitigation?

Mitigating photovoltaic soiling by using 21st-century technologies throughout the solar plant lifecycle with the objective of increasing performance, reliability, asset life, and warranty compliance.

NextGen PV Soiling mitigation is typically a data-enriched smart system that combines technologies such as solar panel cleaning robotics, PV anti-soiling coatings, PV abrasion testing, bird deterrent solutions, PV soil monitoring, electrodynamic shields (EDS), condensation prevention, tracker/stowage position, and cleaning schedule optimization, solar panel cleaning software, analytics and other technologies.

The Quest to Find the Most Productive Machine

Most O&M directors or solar panel cleaners begin their quest for finding the ideal machinery by looking for the most productive machine in the marketplace. This is a very valid beginning however solar panel cleaning has many complexities and setup time and distance between installations is one of the biggest challenges when trying to do the job. It is important to find the most productive machine, but experience has shown that logistical efficiency is just as important if not more important.

Asking the manufacturer of the machinery "How many panels per day can the machine do"? Productivity is ideally measured by square footage or similar. This is a direct relationship between brush width, array width, cleaning speed, and brush abrasion levels.

Assuming the answer the manufacturer gives you is truthful.

Assuming you can be performing impeccably 24 x 7. In the case of C&I installations, The distance between sites often conditions your crew to clean one site per day.

Assuming water filtration is done flawlessly and without delays. Deionizing water is a significant challenge in solar panel cleaning.

Assuming your crew is 100% productive.

Understanding that weather may impact your productivity more than machine productivity. If it is raining, you cannot clean.

Assuming that the logistical part of the business is easy

Assuming that, machinery productivity impacts the project more than logistical efficiency. Experience has shown that logistics are a dominating factor in the success of a project.

Distance to project sites is a bigger factor than machine productivity

Setup and Logistics are a bigger factor in many situations (not all) than machine productivity
