You can be Clean and Green

I am a Photovoltaic panel owner and have
found that keeping the panels clean is
absolutely critical to their performance.

By adding an irrigation timer and valve, along
with some copper pipe and spray nozzles, I
spray down my panels at night twice per week.
A “Solar Garden” is an aesthetic collection of
solar power and nature which thrive in the
sun to provide electricity, beauty and food for
its community.

Not only do the Solar Panels reduce Carbon
Emissions by their power offset, but the added
landscaping, fed by the water runoff, while
contributing beauty and connectivity, also absorb
CO2 from the air, and return Oxygen.
It is a compliment of Photosynthesis and
Photovoltaic energy, derived from the Sun’s
rays, and creates a more symbiotic
implementation of Solar Power.

That makes solar more attractive.

Don’t ever spray down your panels during the
day!  It is important to only rinse them at night,
or early morning, before they have become
warmed in the sun.
