Frequently Asked Questions

Why Clean Your Solar Panels?

Regular cleaning of solar panels is important for maintaining optimal performance. Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on the panels, significantly reducing their efficiency. Our solar panel cleaning brushes and poles make it easy to remove these contaminants, ensuring maximum sunlight absorption and energy production.

How often should I clean my solar panels?

Regular cleaning is recommended at least twice a year to maintain optimal performance. However, if you live in a particularly dusty or polluted area, you might need to clean them more frequently.

Do I need any special equipment to use these brushes and poles?

Solar panel cleaning brushes and poles are designed to be paired with a pure water system. This ensures a spotless finish on the solar panels allowing them to absorb maximum sunlight. Check out our solar panel cleaning packages and systems.

What is the Best Tool to Clean Solar Panels With?

The best tool for solar panel cleaning depends on the job itself. Commercial fishermen don’t use fishing poles after all! And if you want to teach a man to fish, start him off with the proper tools for the game he’s after. If you’re cleaning residentially, chances are you have a smaller number of panels to clean. If that’s the case, the best basic tool kit, the Pure Water Power Solar Kit, includes a heavy-duty portable hose reel, an extendable pole, and a soft-bristled brush. Additionally, a proper squeegee and an optional soap designed to clean solar panels are another basic set of tools you should consider adding to your gear. With anywhere from hundreds to thousands of potential panels to clean, commercial cleaning requires much more power than one mere brush and pole. That’s where the solar panel cleaning robots come into play. These specialized little beasts are designed to take care of the hard work for you. They may be tough on grime, but they’re gentle on panels! 

What is the Rotating Brush for Cleaning Solar Panels?

The rotating brush is known as the World Solar Dual Power Solar Brush. This brush doubles your solar panel cleaning power as well as your scrubbing ability. Featuring a dynamic duo of both soft and hard bristles, this brush effectively removes dirt and grime without harming the photovoltaic panel surface. The dual motors are strategically designed to offset centrifugal force, ensuring smooth operation and higher cleaning efficiency. This dual brush guarantees you won’t miss an inch when cleaning your panels. Want a step-by-step demonstration on how to connect this specialized brush? Here’s how to assemble the World Solar Dual Power Solar Brush in just 3 minutes.

What Is The Best Suggested Solar Panel Cleaning Brush?

Many brushes offer a unique selling point. Fortunately, we’re not interested in just selling you a brush. We’re interested in getting you equipped with the proper gear for the job you have to take on. That said, the best solar cleaning brush depends on the job you have in mind. 

For a few residential panels that have intense grime built up over a long period:

  • The XERO Solar Brush. If you have a handful of residential panels that are in sore need of some TLC, then the XERO Solar Brush is an excellent option. This 23-inch brush boasts fine outer nylon bristles for smooth gliding and durable inner boar hair bristles designed to tackle tough grime and debris. Plus, this brush offers not one but two effective rinsing options to suit your needs. Opt for a powerful blast of pure water from the six built-in jets plumbed using a standard pole hose, or switch to the dual rinse bars for a consistent flow of water across the brush. Each rinse bar spans 12 inches and utilizes XERO’s high-flow hose to deliver thorough cleaning. This brush guarantees that all sap, bird droppings, and other tough debris won’t live to see another day!

For a few residential panels that require light cleaning on a consistent basis:

  • XERO Hybrid Brush The XERO Hybrid Brush combines the best of both worlds with its boar's hair and nylon bristles. The inner bristles, made of boar’s hair, are deliberately shorter to ensure effective agitation and removal of dirt and grime from glass surfaces. On the other hand, the outer bristles, constructed with nylon, are longer, enabling them to splay out and facilitate smoother gliding motion while reaching the corners and edges of windows.
  • XERO Nylon Brush The inner bristles are shorter, providing optimal scrubbing power while staying firmly on the glass, while the outer row of bristles is longer, allowing them to spread out and effectively reach window edges and corners. 
  • The Pure Water Power Nylon Brush The Pure Water Power Nylon Brush is engineered with dual-length nylon bristles for impeccable window cleaning. The inner bristles, intentionally shorter, cling to the glass surface, providing effective scrubbing action. The outer bristle row boasts a longer length, enabling it to fan out to reach every nook, cranny, and corner of your windows.

For commercial solar panels that have intense grime built up over a long period:

  • XERO Solar Brush Achieve sparkling clean solar panels with the XERO Solar Brush. This 23-inch brush features outer nylon bristles for smooth gliding and inner boar hair bristles designed to tackle tough grime and debris.

  • XERO Deep Scrub The XERO Deep Scrub is an innovative and lightweight water-fed pole attachment designed to effortlessly eliminate stubborn dirt and accumulated grime. It utilizes a thick abrasive scrub pad that lifts the dirt from windows while also offering extreme scrubbing power. What sets it apart from other abrasives is its glass-friendly design, ensuring a scratch-free cleaning experience.

For commercial solar panel farms or many large commercial solar panels:

  • The QLEEN Classic Solar Brush The QLEEN Classic Solar Brush is a durable and powerful rotating water-fed brush designed for cleaning small to medium-sized solar fields. While sturdily built to handle demanding tasks, it remains manageable for extended use.

But the World Solar Robotic Cleaner will make the task easier for you. This remote-controlled solar cleaning robot has a run time of 3 - 4 hours thanks to its lithium battery. Attach a 14 mm hose from the robot to your pure water system to remove dirt, dust, and grime from solar panels. Instead of manually scrubbing solar panels with a brush, try out this solar panel cleaning robot.

What is the Best Pole to Clean Solar Panels With?

A water-fed pole is the ideal option for cleaning solar panels. Fortunately, we have a lineup of top-quality water-fed poles to choose from. The XERO Solar Pole is a guaranteed win as it was designed to tackle solar panel cleaning jobs while being gentle on your arms and shoulders. Because it boasts a mix of carbon fiber and glass fiber, it means lightness and durability.

This feature also makes this pole less conductive to electricity, making it a safer option than a standard waterfed pole. Another good option is the Tucker Solar Boost Water Fed Pole. Made from durable carbon fiber material, this 5-section pole features an extended length of 27 feet and a collapsed length of 5 feet, making it compact for easy transportation. Another excellent pole to clean panels with is the XERO InsuPole. Designed to protect the user from accidental electrocution during waterfed pole use, this sectional pole fits any XERO pole as well as poles with a similar diameter, like those from the line of Tucker brand. Crafted from fiberglass, these sections are engineered to reduce conductivity, offering a safer alternative to full carbon fiber poles. 

Having a trusty pole and brush by your side on the job site is a must when it comes to cleaning solar panels properly. Fortunately at WCR, we have the best the world has to offer. Trust the XERO brand for reliable cleaning solutions and combinations that best suit your unique needs!
