RIVOLTA P.H.C
Photovoltaic cleaner
Description
RIVOLTA P.H.C. is a material-friendly, highly efficient, and biodegradable* cleaning concentrate for removing dirt from photovoltaic systems. RIVOLTA P.H.C. is based on a combination of special active ingredients, each of which gently removes various residues and soiling, e.g. dust, pollen, soot, bird droppings, green coatings, road dirt, and other environmental deposits from PV modules. RIVOLTA P.H.C. is supplied exclusively as a concentrate and must be diluted with water before use. The application concentration depends on the type of process and the degree of soiling of the modules to be cleaned.
RIVOLTA P.H.C. is equally used in solar parks, the entire industry, agriculture, etc. for the material- friendly and efficient cleaning of photovoltaic systems.
RIVOLTA P.H.C. can be used for large area cleaning with brushes / abseiling brushes, cleaning robots and all common roller brush systems. For small PV modules, it can also be applied manually by spraying and washing down using a pressure pump sprayer with foam nozzle. If necessary, rinse with clear water.
* The surfactants used in this product are considered biodegradable as they meet the legal requirements regarding biodegradability (e.g. according to the Washing and Cleaning Agents Act - WRMG). Detergents and Cleaning Agents Act - WRMG). In addition, all organic ingredients are considered readily biodegradable according to OECD 301 (inorganic ingredients that are not subject to biode- gradability, such as water, are not considered)
Material compatibility
Extensive material compatibility tests were carried out for RIVOLTA P.H.C. by the Fraunhofer CSP Institute in order to analyze possible risks for PV modules when wetted with the cleaning agent. In the process, the following customary components were tested:
-
Aluminum frame with anodized coating
-
Silicone edge sealing and
-
PV rolled glass with anti-reflective coating
Results
The typical service life of photovoltaic systems is about 25 years. Based on the test results, no impairment of the tested functionalities of the photovoltaic modules die to chemical interaction as a result of contact with RIVOLTA P.H.C. is to be expected during the entire service life – with an annual cleaning cycle and a wetting time of the components of a maximum 1 hour per cleaning process and use of the cleaner in the minimum application concentration (1:4).
