With the summer weather over and the winter weather not too far away we here at ROCKSOLAR want to provide you with a short guide on cleaning your solar panels before they are stored for the winter.
The dos of cleaning your portable solar panels from ROCKSOLAR
The first thing that needs to be done before the panels are cleaned is to disconnect any cables from the panels, then turn it off.
The most effective way to clean them for the most part is with regular cold water at a low pressure as it will not damage the panels. If there is any dirt that is still on the panels then you can use a soft sponge or soft cloth to remove the remaining dirt. A small amount of regular dish soap may be used when the panel cannot be fully cleaned with regular cold water but be advised that certain soaps can leave films on the panels.
Note: Our panels have a IPX4 Water Resistance rating.
