Cleaning Solar Panels with Pure Water:
Maximising Efficiency
24 Pure Water
Why Cleaning Solar Panels Matters
Solar panels are an excellent investment for sustainable energy production, but they require regular maintenance to maintain optimal performance. Dust, dirt, bird droppings, and other residues can accumulate on the surface, reducing energy efficiency by up to 25%. To keep solar panels operating at their best, professional cleaning with pure water is essential.
At 24 Pure Water, we provide ultra-pure, deionised water through our self-service filling stations, specifically designed for applications like solar panel cleaning. Pure water is the most effective solution for removing contaminants without leaving streaks or spots, ensuring maximum light absorption.

The Benefits of Using Pure Water for Cleaning Solar Panels
Using pure water for solar panel cleaning is crucial because it does not leave behind any mineral deposits or residues that can block sunlight. Deionised water, in particular, is highly effective as it attracts dirt and particles without the need for detergents.
Key Benefits of Pure Water for Solar Panel Cleaning
- Streak-Free Finish: Leaves no mineral deposits or spots after drying.
- Eco-Friendly: Eliminates the need for chemical detergents that could damage panel surfaces.
- Improved Efficiency: Maximises light absorption by maintaining a clean, clear surface.
- Safe for Sensitive Surfaces: Gentle on glass and photovoltaic cells.
- Long-Term Savings: Reduces maintenance costs by preserving panel efficiency.

The Technology Behind Pure Water for Solar Panel Cleaning
Our filling stations use advanced reverse osmosis (RO) and deionisation processes to ensure the highest purity level. By removing impurities and dissolved solids, we guarantee that the water used for solar panel cleaning leaves no spots or residues.
Reverse Osmosis (RO)
- High Purity: Filters out 99% of dissolved solids.
- Effective Cleaning: Prevents mineral build-up on panel surfaces.
Deionisation (DI)
- Zero TDS: Ensures the water is completely free of minerals.
- Streak-Free Drying: No residue left after evaporation.
Deionised water (DI water) is highly recommended for solar panel cleaning because it removes minerals like calcium and magnesium that can cause spotting. The use of DI water guarantees that the panels remain clear and spotless after drying, maintaining maximum energy output.
