What is the most effective means of removing paint from your solar panels?

Whether your roof painter failed to properly cover your solar panels or it was the consequence of a failed DIY project, if your solar panels have been covered in paint overspray there are a few simple tips to help clean your panels.

WHAT NOT TO DO!

When searching online you will often find on directories the suggestion to use a paint scraper to simply scratch off the paint spots as you would on a window. Unfortunately, this is a surefire way to shorten the lifespan of your solar panels.

The hydrophobic and anti-reflective coating on the solar panels can be permanently damaged if harsh chemicals or paint scrapers are used. Extreme care must be used to ensure the structural integrity of the panels is not damaged.

Consult your solar panel manufacturers guide.
Take note of the specific warranty considerations.
Many warranties will automatically be void if chemicals or scrapers are used on the surfaces of the panels.
Each specific brand and model of solar panels will require a unique cleaning technique.

Some of the most common suggestions include using a microfibre cloth to brush the area. A mild dishwashing liquid can be used to further assist the process.
