Four years ago, Portuguese company ChemiTek innovated with the creation of removal agents for specific contaminants and coatings for soiling mitigating and efficiency enhancement for the solar industry. The Cement Removal Agent (CRA) effectively removes cured cement dust from solar glass without damaging the solar panel or the environment. Here is what happened when the solution was used on a solar plant in Dubai over a 35 day period.
The operational and efficiency gains associated with the use of the ChemiTek product were evaluated between the period of May 1 to June 5, 2022, on 288 panels.
The plant, with a harsh contaminant problem of cement dust cured on glass, was being cleaned every two weeks with water and rotative brush, without any success in removing the cement contamination.
