## Cleaning Frequency by Environment

| Environment | Cleaning Frequency |

|-------------|-------------------|

| Urban, moderate dust | Every 6-12 months |

| Rural, agricultural | Every 3-6 months |

| Desert / dusty area | Every 1-3 months |

| Heavy industrial | Every 1-2 months |

| High rainfall area | Every 12-18 months |

## Simple Cleaning Method

1. Use water (deionized preferred, tap water OK)

2. Soft brush or squeegee — no abrasive materials

3. Clean early morning or late afternoon (cool panels)

4. Never use high-pressure spray on seals

## Monitoring Performance

Compare monthly production to expected output. A drop of 10%+ indicates a problem:

- Dirty panels (most common)

- Shading from new growth (trees, plants)

- Inverter fault (check error codes)

- Micro-cracks (requires professional inspection)
