D-Solar Defendor
D-Solar Defendor is a hydrophobic coating that will repel water and dirt from your modules, making cleaning easier.
Quickly removes water from the solar panel, promoting its self-cleaning.
The hydrophobic coating on the D-Solar Defendor was designed to be applied in specific climates (sometimes extreme rain, sometimes extreme drought) with a robot or brush tractor, and on solar panels that are not heavily soiled.
The coating lasts up to 1 year, however ChemiTek recommends applying the product twice a year when there is more soiling.
This product 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.
If the solar panel is dirty is it less efficient at producing energy?
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.
