Solar Panel Cleaning Safety Scope

• The scope of this guide includes safety in the solar engineering design process and is carried through into the operation and maintenance of the solar installation. The solar panel cleaning industry is comprised of 3 main segments residential, commercial and industrial, and utility-scale (aka solar farms) which are divided into 2 areas 1) Wet Cleaning 2) Dry Cleaning. Solar panel cleaning is not limited to cleaning with water but also includes the application of coatings and other similar solutions that reduce soiling levels also known as solar cleaning technologies. These guidelines will also include safety guidelines for solar designers and operators of solar panel cleaning equipment.
