The cleaning and maintenance of solar panels are crucial for ensuring their long-term stable operation and improving power generation efficiency. Here are cleaning and maintenance tips for solar panels to help you fully unleash the potential of your solar energy system.
Cleaning techniques:
1. Choose the appropriate time to clean
When cleaning solar panels, one should choose a time period with weak sunlight and poor sunlight conditions, such as in the morning or evening. This can avoid excessive physical impact on the battery panel during the cleaning process, while reducing the potential risk of electric shock.
2. Use the correct cleaning tools
When cleaning solar panels, hard and sharp tools, corrosive solvents, and alkaline organic solvents should be avoided. It is recommended to use soft tools such as sponges or cotton towels to prevent scratching and corrosion of the surface of the solar panel.
3. Pay attention to the cleanliness of detailed areas
When cleaning, not only should the entire battery panel be taken care of, but also special attention should be paid to the corners, as these areas are prone to accumulating dirt, and local shading may increase load resistance, affecting power generation efficiency.
4. Regularly check the screws of the battery board
Outdoor installed solar panels may be affected by wind, sun, and rain, causing corrosion and rusting of the panel screws. Regularly check whether the screws are secure and replace any loose or corroded screws in a timely manner to ensure a stable installation of the battery board.
Maintenance skills:
1. Maintenance of energy storage batteries
Solar panel energy storage batteries need to be charged and discharged regularly to ensure their performance and lifespan. It is recommended to perform charging and discharging operations at least once a month. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid overcharging and overdischarging, strictly follow the charging and discharging regulations, keep the battery clean, prevent overheating, and conduct regular inspections.
2. Avoid excessive discharge and charging
In daily use, it is necessary to pay attention to the correct use of solar panel energy storage batteries, avoid excessive discharge and charging, and excessive physical impact on the batteries. These behaviors will all affect the performance and lifespan of the battery.
3. Regular professional cleaning
For areas that are difficult to reach, automatic cleaning systems or cleaning robots can be considered for cleaning. These systems can imitate the working principle of windshield wipers, and use spray hoses and mechanical arms to remove dust from the solar panel.
