The brush you use to clean the surface of photovoltaic solar panels can actually greatly reduce your physical burden, which may wish to prove to Cinderella. In the fairy tale, it is with a reliable and efficient brush that she can easily cope with the smoke of the fireplace and the dust of the floor. It is certainly reasonable to speculate that, in between the busy chores, her friendly, alert little mice may have secretly shared some of the cleaning and disinfecting duties, although this is only based on imaginary speculation.
However, in real life, if there is no natural “assistant” like a small animal to assist, then the cleaning brush in your hand, after frequent contact with the dust and bird feces accumulated on the solar panel, cleaning the bristles is an important step to maintain its cleaning effect and extend its service life. Next, let’s explore this topic further.
Why clean PV cleaning brush brushes?
- Remove dirt and residue: during use, the PV brushes will come into contact with dust, dirt, grease and other impurities on the PV panels. These impurities may adhere to the bristles, affecting the cleaning effect and efficiency of the brush. Regular cleaning of the brushes can remove this dirt and residue and maintain the cleanliness and cleaning ability of the brushes.
- Extend brush life: If PV brushes are not cleaned for a long time, the dirt and residue may cause the bristles to harden, deform or become damaged. This will not only affect the cleaning effect of the brush, but may also shorten the life of the brush. By cleaning regularly, you can extend the life of the brushes and reduce the frequency and cost of replacement.
- Protecting PV panels: PV brushes may cause scratches or damage to the surface of PV panels if there are hard particles (e.g. sand, small stones, etc.) attached to the bristles when cleaning the panels. Regular cleaning of the brushes removes these hard particles and reduces the risk of damage to the PV panels.
- Improve cleaning efficiency: Keeping the PV brushes clean ensures that the brushes are more effective at removing dust and dirt when cleaning PV panels. This helps to improve cleaning efficiency and reduce cleaning time and costs.
- Safeguard PV system performance: The performance of a PV system is affected by the cleanliness of the PV panels. If the PV panels are covered in dust and dirt, this can reduce power generation efficiency. Regular cleaning of PV panels with clean brushes can maintain their cleanliness, thus safeguarding the performance and power generation efficiency of the PV system.
how to clean scrub brush?
Below are the detailed steps for cleaning the PV cleaning brushes:
1.Disconnect & Disassemble:
Always disconnect the electric PV cleaning brush before cleaning to prevent the risk of electric shock.
Depending on the design of the cleaning brush, it may be necessary to disassemble the brush head or bristle section for deeper cleaning.
2.Remove the brushes: Remove the PV brushes from the PV panels to avoid damage to the panels during the cleaning process.
3.Soak the bristles: Soak the brush in water for a period of time, so that the bristles are fully in contact with the water, which helps to remove the dust and dirt on it.
4.Wipe the bristles: Use a soft brush or sponge to gently wipe the bristles, avoid using hard tools or strong detergents that may damage the bristles.
5.Rinse the bristles: Rinse the bristles with water to flush out any dirt. Make sure there is no residue between the bristles.
6.Storage:
After cleaning and drying, store the Electric PV Cleaning Brush in a dry, ventilated area out of direct sunlight.
Avoid prolonged storage in humid or hot environments as this may affect its performance and life.
