Our Services

We operate through high performance RO filters and powered self fill tanks

All our services are providing using our own specialist equipment- all we need is a normal 1bar water hose connection and electric supply and the rest can be left to us.  We operate through high performance RO filters and powered self fill tanks to give an even supply and pressure of clean water throughout cleaning.

REMOTE ROBOTIC CLEANING

Our preferred method of cleaning is using our remote control cleaner, Herman.  His specialist tracks resemble chamois leather and allow greater adherence to the array surface with less chance of damage on loose brackets and trims than other rubber tracked robots.  This allows us to clean in straight lines for a uniform and thorough clean with the high speed soft bristle brushes.  Edge sensors on board are also a great help in allowing the operator to clean up to 50m away in any direction from his access platform without the risk of running off the panels!

REMOTE POWER BRUSH CLEANING

Sometimes due to excessive deposits, moss or oily surfaces an effective clean is better undertaken with our 15m reach hydraulic power brush.  The operator remains in the basket and booms out to the array with the telescopic brush, which gives a great deep clean even on the dirtiest surfaces using the slightly tougher bristles and precision control.  Handling this powerful appliance is an art form which our operators have worked to perfect.

LICHEN REMOVAL AND TREATMENT

Lichen is a pest that increases its threat if left uncontrolled.  Some lichen will wash away with a good clean, if it is attached to dirt build up or grain dust rather than the glass.  However lichen that is fixed to the glass will need to be scraped away without damaging the surface of the glass.  Even this however can leave roots attached which- like dandelions- need to be killed to prevent regrowth.  SC Solar use one of two different chemical treatments for this, depending on the infested area and climate during cleaning.  Whichever option is used effectively kills and removed lichen, to prevent further damage to the panel cells through shading and hot spots.

EXCEPTIONAL AREA CLEANING

Some arrays are located where even our plant cannot each, and SC Solar are ready for this eventuality.  Our trained and experienced staff can operate machinery to boom out up to 25m to reach those hard to access areas!
