Tips for installing water guide troughs for photovoltaic panels

How do I Optimize my solar PV system with water drain clips?

The first step in optimizing your solar PV system with water drain clips is recognizing the signs that indicate the need for this solution. Look for patterns of dust and soil at the bottom of your solar photovoltaic modules, as illustrated in the image below:

Do solar panels need water drain clips?

One common issue that solar panel owners encounter is the accumulation of dirt, dust, and moisture on the panel surfaces. This accumulation can have a detrimental impact on energy production. The first step in optimizing your solar PV system with water drain clips is recognizing the signs that indicate the need for this solution.

Should you use rainwater clips for solar panels?

If you manage a solar field or have a large-scale solar installation, rainwater clips for photovoltaic panels can be a game-changer. Solar fields often exhibit patterns of dust and moisture accumulation, as showcased in our earlier images. If your solar field mirrors this pattern, Solarud is an essential tool to maximize your investment.

What is a solar powered water system guide?

The free guide, published together with Water Mission and UNICEF, provides detailed guidance on all technical topics pertinent to the design and installation of solar powered water systems within a rural water supply context. This guide has been downloaded by people in over 131 countries. We have more guides and trainings coming out soon.

How do I choose a solar panel?

1. Solar Panel The solar panel used in the construction of the solar array must match the nominal rating and specifications selected during the design (see 4.1.1. Solar Panel Selection). Use of an alternate solar panel shall only be permitted with approval of the design engineer of record on the project.
