How to install solar panel cleaning brush?

With increased environmental awareness and technological advances, solar panels have become an important source of energy for more and more homes and businesses. However, the cleaning of solar panels is often overlooked. Dust, leaves, bird droppings and other dirt not only reduce the power generation efficiency of solar panels, but also may cause long-term damage to them. Therefore, an efficient and convenient solar panel cleaning brush becomes an essential tool. Today, we will explain in detail how to install a solar panel cleaning brush so that your solar panels are always in the best condition.

Solar panels work by capturing sunlight and converting it into electricity. However, when the surface of a solar panel is covered with dirt, its ability to capture sunlight is greatly reduced. Experiments have proven that for every 1 millimeter increase in the thickness of dirt on the surface of a solar panel, its power generation efficiency decreases by about 10%. Therefore, regular cleaning of solar panels is essential to keep them running efficiently. The Solar Panel Cleaning Brush is designed to do just that, removing dirt from the surface of solar panels easily without causing any damage to the panels.
