Solar panels are electricity generators, and cleaning them can be hazardous. Power must be shut off and secured using lockout/tagout procedures before cleaning begins. Another risk to
Customer Service
Using dry cleaning technology, you avoid moisture-driven corrosion, unmanaged chemical residues, and electrical safety risks, while still mitigating dust accumulation effects that degrade output.
