Clean efficiently with the right water strategy
For operators of large photovoltaic systems
Professional cleaning of large PV systems isn’t just about water pressure. What matters is the interplay of sufficient water volume, low pressure, and the right hose technology. Too little water, pressure losses over long distances, or incorrectly sized hoses can impair cleaning performance. With a water strategy tailored to the system, dirt can be effectively removed while protecting sensitive module surfaces.
Operators of large photovoltaic systems face a recurring technical problem:
→ Studies on PV cleaning techniques recommend adjusted water volumes and suitable pressure to optimize cleaning efficiency and module protection.
"For large PV systems, the key isn't the highest possible water pressure, but rather a consistent and sufficient water flow. The right combination of water volume, low pressure, and hose technology creates the foundation for effective yet gentle cleaning."
For effective and gentle cleaning, water pressure and water volume must be coordinated. Equally important is ensuring that the water reaches the cleaning device with sufficient flow even with elevation differences and long hose runs. In practice, three factors are therefore crucial:
| Challenge | Solution | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Dirt rubs instead of dissolving | Osmosis water + sufficient water volume | Less abrasion & cleanliness |
| Pressure losses | Right hose + pressure planning | Consistent cleaning |
| Module risks | Low pressure instead of high pressure | No surface damage |
Whether it’s an agricultural rooftop system, a commercial roof or a large solar park—the economically optimal cleaning solution depends on system size, location and degree of soiling. Together, we analyze your system and recommend the right cleaning concept.
