Water source

To clean any solar installation you need water. Without it you will just remove the dust of solar panels without actually cleaning them. If you need water you need a water source, and where you get it is an important factor to consider. If you use tap water you won’t have to worry about anything, apart from some chemicals and residues that will affect the cleaning of the solar panels. In case your water source is a well or a ditch you will need a way to avoid dirt and debris in your water.

Water purification and cleaning system

After that, you can get water from different sources, meaning you will have to consider different types of “water”. In case you find yourself using something else besides tap water you need a way to clean the water before it gets onto the solar panels. If not you will left residues and dirt on it, rendering the cleaning process useless. In addition, is recommended to use a purification and filtering system. In this way you will remove both solid debris such as dust and small chunks of dirt. Therefore with a purification action, you will also remove all those chemicals that could deposit on the solar panels, making a tin layer on them that will affect energy production. Our KK2E and KK2S water pumps and water cleaning systems provide you with 2 paper filters and a resin container. Best solution for removing dirt, debris, salt and other chemicals.
