Did you know?
Many solar power plants lose efficiency not because of dust — but because of the water used to clean the panels.
In many locations, solar panels are washed using borewell or untreated water. While this removes dust, it leaves behind dissolved minerals like calcium, magnesium, and silica.
When the water dries, these minerals form white stains and scaling on the panel surface.
Over time this leads to:
• Reduced sunlight absorption
• Lower panel efficiency
• Drop in power generation
Even a thin mineral layer can reduce solar output by 5–20% in large solar farms.
The solution is simple.
RO treated water removes 95–99% of dissolved salts, ensuring spot-free cleaning and maximum sunlight absorption.
That’s why many solar EPC contractors now specify RO water systems for solar panel cleaning, especially in regions with high TDS groundwater.
Typical RO capacities used in solar plants:
• 1000–2000 LPH – Small rooftop plants
• 2000–5000 LPH – Medium solar farms
• 10,000 LPH & above – Utility-scale solar plants
