Antistatic Solar Armor
If you clean your solar plant at least once a year and the environment is dry to moderate, ASA is the coating you will want to apply!
Concentrated solution to reduce the adhesion of dirt.
Its antistatic properties reduce the adhesion of dust to the glass, while keeping the solar glass cleaner between cleanings, and increasing the efficiency of the next wash as well as boosting energy production by up to 5%.
This environmentally friendly product is free of phosphate or chlorine, and has a neutral pH, so it does not attack the aluminium structure, silicone or anti-reflective coating of the solar panel.
ASA is fully tested and certified by the international laboratory TÜV Sud.

FAQs
Do solar photovoltaic panels need to be cleaned?
The surface of photovoltaic solar panels must be clean in order to ensure full operation and maximum efficiency. Any kind of dirt that may be on the surface of the solar module, be it dust, pollen, tree sap, bird droppings, sand, salt crystals, etc., will reduce the footprint of the sun's rays, i.e. reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the solar module cells, and thus the panel will produce less power.
How do I know if my solar photovoltaic panels need to be cleaned?
To the naked eye the panels may appear clean, however there will be dirt accumulated, even if it is just the air pollution itself. A simple test to see if your panel is in need of cleaning is to wipe the surface of the panel with a white cloth or cotton pad before the actual cleaning.

Can climate alone keep solar panels clean?
In fact, rain, snow, or wind alone does not wash the solar panels, because wind carries particles, snow because it blocks sunlight, and rainwater because it is slightly acidic and, when it dries, leaves spots that quickly attract dirt again, thus making the solar system less efficient.
A simple way to illustrate why the weather alone does not wash out the solar panels is to look at the windshield of your car. If you leave your windshield dirty for a long time, you will lose visibility due to accumulated dirt, but thanks to the cleaner that you apply and the windshield wiper, you can wash the glass and regain visibility in no time!
In this way, the solar panels are like the windshields of your car, except that they do not have readily available liquid for washing the solar panels associated with the windshield wiper.
What kind of equipment can I use to apply the ASA?
ASA is designed to be applied with a robot or a tractor brush.
What is the difference between the ASA and D-Solar Defendor?
ASA can be applied in all kinds of climates and provides an antistatic coating; D-Solar Defendor is for extreme climates (with a lot of rain or very dry) and provides a hydrophobic coating, so it will take longer to remove and requires a specific water for dilution.
Should I use any specific water to dilute the ASA solution?
Yes, you should use de-ionized water, that is distilled water, with pure solvents, and free of ions, to dilute your ASA solution and apply it to your panels.
