SolarTeflon® Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is SolarTeflon®?

SolarTeflon® is a proprietary surface treatment designed to improve the performance and longevity of solar panels. By creating a protective hydrophobic and oleophobic barrier, it helps reduce dirt buildup, makes cleaning easier, and extends the return on investment of solar energy systems.

2. How does SolarTeflon® work?

The treatment forms a microscopic barrier on the glass surface of solar panels. This barrier repels water, dust, oil, and other environmental contaminants, ensuring panels remain cleaner for longer periods. Cleaner panels allow for more consistent sunlight absorption and improved energy output.

3. Where can SolarTeflon® be applied?

SolarTeflon® is effective on:

Residential solar panels
Commercial and industrial solar arrays
Community, school, and small business solar systems

It is not recommended for use on non-glass surfaces or panels with existing damage.

4. How long does the treatment last?

When applied correctly, SolarTeflon® provides protection for 12–18 months, depending on environmental factors such as dust levels, weather, and local climate conditions.

5. Who applies SolarTeflon®?

SolarTeflon® should be applied by trained professionals using the SolarTeflon® Application Protocol. Installers and maintenance crews are trained to ensure even coverage, correct curing, and proper documentation.

6. Does the treatment affect energy output?

Yes—positively. Panels treated with SolarTeflon® tend to maintain higher efficiency over time compared to untreated panels, since dirt and grime buildup is reduced.

7. How soon can treated panels be exposed to the elements?

Treated panels require a 24-hour curing period before full exposure to environmental conditions such as rain, wind, or cleaning.

8. Is SolarTeflon® safe for the panels?

Absolutely. The formula is designed specifically for solar glass surfaces and does not damage or etch the panel glass. When applied properly, it enhances durability and ease of maintenance.

9. What maintenance is required after application?

Regular rinsing with deionized water is recommended.
Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads.
Panels should be re-assessed every 12–18 months for reapplication.

10. How do I schedule a service?

You can schedule a professional SolarTeflon® application through an authorized installer or maintenance partner. Contact SolarTeflon® directly for referrals to certified providers in your area.

11. Do you provide a warranty?

SolarTeflon® does not provide a warranty on energy production. Performance depends on local conditions and maintenance practices. However, certified applications include a dated certificate of application and a recommended next service date for quality assurance.
