For steep roofs, this is not a problem for the efficiency of the system, as the next downpour washes most of the dirt off again. On flat roofs with a pitch of 5\u00b0 to 15\u00b0, this only happens to a limited extent. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electra.ch\/erneuerbare-energien\/pv-reinigung-lohnt-sich-der-aufwand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study by the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts<\/a> shows, dirt quickly affects the performance of the system. Depending on the degree of soiling, it may therefore be advisable to clean the solar system or have it cleaned.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Regular cleaning is important to ensure that your photovoltaic system continues to perform at a high level. However, not every method is suitable for sensitive solar glass. The wrong cleaning agents or hard brushes can leave scratches and impair the long-term performance of the modules.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For PV systems that are particularly difficult to access or heavily soiled, it may even be advisable to hire a specialist company.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner css=\".vc_custom_1738684758264{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;}\"][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1738684680904{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Do's<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Distilled water to avoid limescale stains<\/li>\n<li>Soft plastic sponge<\/li>\n<li>Plastic chamois leather<\/li>\n<li>Plastic squeegee<\/li>\n<li>Clean modules using a telescopic pole<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1738684694472{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}\"][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Dont's<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Use aggressive cleaning agents<\/li>\n<li>Rough cloths and sharp objects that could scratch the glass surface<\/li>\n<li>Cleaning materials containing silicone<\/li>\n<li>Do not enter the solar modules<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1739373510743{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}\"]<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Megaclean: gentle care for your solar modules<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For gentle cleaning of solar modules, we recommend the specially developed Megaclean special cleaning agent from Megasol.
