Cleaning agents for the solar industry

The German flux and cleaning specialist Emil Otto is expanding its range of cleaning agents for the solar industry with four new products developed specifically for cleaning solar modules. EO-SMC-001 is a mild alkaline, VOC-free cleaning agent. The cleaner has a mild odor, is water-based, and biodegradable, a ready-to-use product and can be used for both manual and automatic cleaning of solar modules. EO-SMC-001 can be applied by spraying, brushing, or other automatic cleaning systems. The alkaline formulation has a high degree of efficiency, which helps to effectively remove both acidic and saline soiling. After cleaning, no greasy residues or other contaminants are left behind, which could affect the efficiency of the solar module. EO-SMC-002 is a mildly acidic cleaning agent, while EO-SMC-003 is based on a neutral formulation. The cleaning results and application properties of both cleaning agents are the same as those of EO-SMC-001. However, due to its neutral formulation, EO-SMC-003 is a pH-neutral cleaner. PH-neutral cleaners are particularly gentle on sensitive materials. Soiling and deposits on the modules, such as dust, pollen, or dirt from road traffic, can be reliably removed with EO-SMC-003. EO-SMC-004 was developed for removing lichens, mosses, algae, and some types of mold. This cleaner is based on an active oxygen formulation. The EO-SMC-004 can also be used to efficiently remove acidic and saline soiling.
