Application and Usage
- Use a soft, solar approved brush
- Ensure that the complete panel is covered well with Vitapanel
- Ensure proper rinsing to remove all dirt and residue's
Yes. Vitapanel effectively breaks down organic residues. “Dried in” bird droppings might be more difficult to remove if not brushed, ensure enough Vitapanel is sprayed onto these spots.
Yes, but heavily soiled panels often require brushing in order to clean them 100%.
Vitapanel cleans contaminants like dust, pollen, and bird droppings, which can block sunlight and reduce solar energy output. European wide study shows that the average energy losses due to soiling in Europe are 5,3%. In dry and dusty areas energy losses are much higher, ranging from 15-30%.
Although Vitapanel Clean ECO is not specifically designed for removing of lichen, it helps loosen organic growth, buth mechanical romval may be required.
Cleaning frequency depends on environmental and weather conditions:
- Dusty or high-pollution areas – Every 3–6 months.
- Moderate climates – At least once per year.
- Areas with moderate rainfall – at least once per year.
Vitapanel is designed specifically for solar panels. While it may work on other surfaces, it is recommended only for its intended use.
No. When used correctly and rinsed properly (or left for rain to rinse when applied by drone), Vitapanel does not leave streaks or residue.
- Apply evenly on dry solar panels and avoid peak sunlight hours.
- Let it soak for 30 minutes before rinsing or allowing rain to wash it away.
- Use a soft brush for stubborn dirt if needed.
Yes. The dilution ratio depends on the application method, but also on the type and severity of the contamination and personal preference. Some general guidelines:
- Manual/robotic/tractor cleaning – 1:20 dilution with water.
- Drone or helicopter cleaning – 1:10 dilution with water.
A soft brush, approved for solar panel cleaning is recommended. Avoid abrasive materials that may damage the panel surface.
Early morning or late afternoon when panels are cool and not exposed to direct sunlight.
Drying time depends on temperature and humidity. If applied by drone, rain should occur within 12 hours for optimal effectiveness.
It should be applied in dry conditions and at temperatures above 5°C.
For heavily soiled solar panels brushing will be required to remove stubborn dirt.
- Manual/robotic cleaning – Rinse with demineralized water.
- Drone/helicopter cleaning – Rinse by rainfall within 12 hours.
No. Vitapanel is non-corrosive and safe for AR coatings.
Although Vitapanel Clean ECO is safe to use; using personal protective equipment is advisable.
