AS SOLAR POWER BECOMES MORE POPULAR, USERS STRUGGLE WITH FREQUENT CLEANING. SOLAR GUARD CAN HELP!

Solar power is becoming increasingly more popular as cities and companies are making the shift to green energy. PV panels generate power allowing light into the solar cells.

Most solar panels are installed at an angle to capture more light more effectively. This makes the panels more prone to dust and dirt build-up, and pollutants from rain and weather. This makes regular cleaning a requirement to ensure that the panels are working efficiently and are optimizing energy yield.

Although the desire to lean in to renewable energy like solar power is a positive shift for the environment, the frequent need to clean panels puts a strain on other natural resources, like water.

Solar Guard is the perfect solution. By combining titanium-dioxide and silicone-dioxide nanoparticles, our formulation creates a super hydrophilic surface that breaks down pollutants, and allows rain water to clean the surface naturally.

APPLYING SOLAR GUARD IS SIMPLE, BUT ARMUS FORMULAS ALWAYS WORK BEST WHEN YOU UNDERGO PROPER SURFACE PREP.

Before applying Solar Guard to any of your PV panels, make sure you have them cleaned thoroughly. This means scrubbing off any solid contaminants by power washing your panels, or using a mop or other cleaning device. Ensure all PV panels are fully dry prior to application of Solar Guard.

Solar Guard should be applied under 80°F to ensure that the coating does not evaporate in the heat. Conditions should also not be windy to prevent loss of product during spraying.

Because Solar Guard is a water-based product, it’s simple to apply, using an electric or backpack HVLP sprayer. Coat your panels in parallel horizontal passes with a second coat recommended at a perpendicular angle to ensure you fully cover your panel. Solar Guard starts working as soon as it’s dry.

The techno-economic advantages of solar guard are clear to see. check out our results at totana solar project below.

We applied Solar Guard to Enel Green Power’s 1MW solar plant in Spain. 2000 solar panels were power-washed prior to application. Application was simple and required no specialized equipment, only an HVLP sprayer.

Our results were better than expected.

Nominal Annual Energy Output: 1,502.334 MWh
Expected Power Output Increase: 5%
Solar Guard Material Used: 47.5 Gallons (180L)
Investment Payment Period: Within 9 months

Once treated, Solar Guard creates a super-hydrophilic effect on the PV panels, preventing water from forming droplets that scatter light, affecting energy yield. The anti-static feature also prevents accumulation of dust on the PV panel surface, reducing cleaning costs, efforts, and wasted natural resources.

The photo shows a half-treated row of PV panels at the solar plant 6 months post-application. The treated panels are cleaner, and the treated surface repels dust and dirt build-up.
