Residential Guide — Professional surface treatment for rooftop solar panels
Key Benefits
Self-Cleaning
Rain and dew help the treated surface shed dirt and grime, reducing routine cleaning and conserving water.
Higher Energy Yield
Cleaner glass preserves light transmission; systems commonly see up to 15% higher production versus soiled modules.
Lower Operating Costs
Fewer wash cycles, less labor, and reduced water use lower maintenance spend and improve ROI.
Longer Reliable Performance
Reduced abrasion and better surface protection help preserve module output over the long term.
Simpler Maintenance
Homeowners and site managers get predictable, low-effort upkeep—more uptime, less hassle.
