Application Protocol: SolarTeflon® Proprietary Surface Treatment

Industrial Application Guide (For Utility-Scale Solar Farms)

Purpose

Deploy SolarTeflon® across large-scale assets with maximum efficiency, reducing O&M costs and water usage while maximizing energy yield through consistent, high-performance self-cleaning protection.

Preparation

•
Planning: Coordinate work during scheduled downtime or low-irradiance periods. Avoid rain within a 1-hour window.
•
Logistics: Use automated cleaning trains or drone inspection for pre-clean verification. Ensure a DI water supply for the final rinse.

NOTE: Best to use SolarTeflon® Sheeting Wash helps reduce mineral deposits from typical tap water and prevent spotting.

•
Equipment: Bulk solution; vehicle- or trailer-mounted spray systems with precise flow control and fine-mist nozzles; mechanized buffing units (optional for flat sites); long-reach applicators.
•
Safety: Full PPE (gloves, eye protection, high-visibility vests). Train all personnel on site-specific procedures.

Application Steps

STEP

System Calibration

Set the spray system to deliver a consistent thin film (≈50–75 ml per panel). Test on a single panel to verify settings.

STEP

Application

Drive the spray rig at constant speed down each row, applying a uniform fan pattern. Ensure dwell time does not exceed 90 seconds before buffing.

STEP

Spreading & Buffing (Manual)

Teams follow the spray vehicle with long-pole microfiber mop heads to distribute evenly, then buff dry with pole-mounted pads.

STEP

Spreading & Buffing (Mechanical)

Use a second vehicle with rotating buffing heads to polish immediately after application for uniformity and labor savings.

STEP

Quality Control

Inspect spot-checks using gloved hands and low-angle light to confirm a smooth, uniform finish with no streaks or residue.

⚠️

Never Use Car Products On Solar Panels

Tap to see why car products damage solar panels

Different Glass
▼

Solar panels use low-iron tempered glass with anti-reflective coatings. Auto glass is made for impact, not sunlight.

Coating Damage
▼

Car products contain silicones that fog or etch anti-reflective coatings, blocking sunlight and reducing power.

Warranty Risk
▼

Harsh chemicals can scratch panels, trap dirt, and void manufacturer warranties.

SolarTeflon® is built for PV glass

Use only solutions designed for solar panels
