Soft Washing Vs. Pressure Washing: What's Best for Solar Panels?
May 20, 2025
Solar Panels requires careful maintenance to keep them functioning at full capacity. But when it comes to cleaning, many homeowners wonder: Should I use pressure washing or soft washing? Choosing the wrong method can cause irreversible damage, reducing efficiency and even voiding warranties.
The Dangers of High-Pressure Washing
While Pressure Washing is effective for driveways and sidewalks, its too harsh for solar panels. Here's why:
- Risk of cracking or breaking - High-pressure water can weaken or shatter the glass surface.
- Damage to wiring and seals - Water forced into the panels edges can cause electrical failures.
- Voided warranties - many manufacturers specify that pressure washing voids coverage.
Why Soft Washing is the Best Choice
Soft Washing is a gentle yet powerful cleaning method that uses:
- Low-pressure water - prevents damage while effectively removing dirt and grime.
- Eco-friendly solutions - Cleans panels without leaving harmful residues.
- Streak-free results - Ensures maximum sunlight absorption for optimal performance.
