In South Africa, many of us have solar panels and greywater systems. Normal solar panel cleaners don’t cut it.
You need a greywater safe solar panel cleaner!
Buying a solar panel is an investment. Keeping your solar panels clean is essential for maintaining their efficiency and ensuring you get the maximum return on your investment. Dust, debris, and grime can reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches your panels. That can decrease their energy output.
If your gutters run into your greywater tank, be careful! You cannot wash your panels with just any cleaner! The wole point of greywater is to water your garden. Soap that is not readily biodegradable will cause build up of chemicals in your soil. Also, soap that promises to kill bacteria, will kill the good bacteria in your greywater and cause it to stink much quicker than usual.
What you need is a greywater safe solar panel cleaner.
That is why we developed Mrs Martin’s SOLAR. It is a gentle but effective solar panel cleaner, which is safe for greywater and septic systems, and the environment! Mrs Martin’s SOLAR greywater safe solar panel cleaner is also not aggressive on aluminium.

How To Clean Your Solar Panels (Safely)
Step 1: Choose a cooler day to clean your panels, to prevent rapid evaporation of the cleaning product, which could leave streaks or spots.
Step 2: Dilute SOLAR with water according to instructions on bottle. Shake well.
Step 3: Pour your diluted mix into an electrical pressure washer or manual pressure sprayer and spray it onto your solar panels.
Step 4: Scrub each panel with a mop.
Step 5: Rinse thoroughly with clean water or a hosepipe, and let it air dry.
Remember, regular maintenance will help to keep your solar panels functioning at their best for years to come.
