HOW TO CLEAN SOLAR PANELS?
There are quite a few steps involved in cleaning solar panels. Firstly, you must completely shut down the system and disconnect or block off any rainwater collections or gutters. Ensure you use a cloth of brush that will not scratch the panels with soap and water to clean the panels.
