How Solitech’s Hydrophobic Coating Saves You Thousands in Cleaning Costs

From Solitech Solar’s manufacturing expertise
January 2026

It is said that when it comes to making important decisions in life, you should make them now because a good opportunity doesn’t come around again. Last month, when the Solitech Solar team was on a site visit, they saw people cleaning the panels by climbing very high, that is on top of the solar panels. There was a risk of slipping while doing this work. Those people were unfortunate that they did not order solar from Solitech Solar. We provide special hydrophobic coating panels. This automatically cleans the dirt or dust on your panels. People are installing solar panels in large numbers, the main purpose of which is to eliminate the cost of electricity bills. You must have heard many times that something that benefits us also has disadvantages. One such disadvantage is the dust that remains on the solar panels after they are installed. Solitech Solar has received many customer questions that when we clean solar panels, water or dust remains on them, which reduces their efficiency. That’s why we have brought you special hydrophobic coating panels.

Although meticulous care is taken to ensure that the panels are not damaged in the manufacturing plant of Solitech Solar, sometimes defects do occur. That is why we are now fully prepared. Remember friends, the goal of any solar manufacturer is to satisfy the customer. That is why we manufacture special hydrophobic coating panels for you so that you can use them easily. It often happens that when a customer installs solar panels, they end up spending a lot of money on cleaning or maintenance of the solar panels. That’s why we have brought this technology to you. So that you can clean it easily without any hassle. This technology will clean your panel automatically. With this, you can save extra money on your monthly electricity bill.

✓ What is a hydrophobic coating?

The king of solar panel cleaning is the hydrophobic coating. This is the coating applied to the panel that prevents dust from sticking to the panel.

When we manufacture panels, we take special care that the customer does not have to worry about cleaning after installing the panels. That is why we include this layer on each panel. The hydrophobic coating makes the cells on the panel so smooth that no dust or debris is allowed to remain on the panel. And even if debris remains, it automatically falls down like a ball.

✓ Did you know that the dust on your panel is a hidden expense?

Be it a house or any of our material technology, we do not like dirt or dust on it. Dust on solar panels can jeopardize your investment. Let’s know how:

1) Power generation loss

If there is too much dust or debris on your panels, then power generation can decrease. This is not a common statistic, at the end of the year 700+ units are lost.

2) Cleaning costs

If your panel does not have a hydrophobic coating, you will have to call people for cleaning every month, and those people do not come for free, so this is the only way to save extra costs.

3) Water wastage

As the waste increases, the water usage increases. And since the panel is in the open environment, it cannot remain without dust. Therefore, more water is required to clean this panel, resulting in wastage of water. Our technology does not allow any such damage to occur.

✓ How does Solitech's hydrophobic coating save you money?

Our point is that if you want to simplify your solar investment, Solitech Solar is the best for you. Now let’s find out how we help you save money:

1) Reduce cleaning costs

If you install solar panels, you have to clean them two to three times a month. Our panels with hydrophobic coating do not allow dust to accumulate. So there is no question of calling solar cleaners. With this type of panel, you just have to clean the panel with lukewarm water. The dirt will come out automatically.

2) Increase in power generation

When the panel is clean, direct sunlight falls on it. And more electricity is generated in a clean panel. Not only this, the hydrophobic coating automatically increases the efficiency by 7 to 8%. As a result, if your panel generates more electricity, the benefit is yours.

3) Increase panel lifespan

If we look at it this way, most people do not know how to clean the panel, so the chances of getting scratches or scuffs on it while cleaning it increase. And such scuffed panels cannot work for a long time. That’s why our coated panels don’t allow any such issues to arise.

4) Environment and water saving

The biggest issue before us in 2026 is saving the environment and water. Our technology panel is capable of doing both of these things. Panels with this coating are automatically cleaned by rainwater, so there is no need for extra water. There is also no need for chemical cleaners, which is safe for the environment.

5) For industrial and commercial customers biggest advantage

Industrial and commercial spaces have large ceilings, so cleaning such a large space is no small task. Cleaning in such a place is a challenge. For business owners, time is money. Solitech’s self-cleaning properties reduce maintenance hassles and accelerate business ROI.

FAQ

Does the hydrophobic coating wear off quickly?

This coating usually doesn’t come off until you use your solar system, as it is fitted to the center from the inside during manufacturing.

Does this coating reduce the power generation of the panel?

This coating is so transparent that it increases the transmission of sunlight, thereby increasing the efficiency of the panel rather than reducing it.

Are there any special chemicals required to clean hydrophobic panels?

No, this is the biggest advantage of this technology. You only have to use plain water. There is no need to use chemicals or detergents, because the dust does not stick to the surface.

Does this technology clean itself with rainwater?

Yes, due to its hydrophobic properties, raindrops roll off the panel as soon as they fall and drag any dust or debris that comes in their way down with them.

Why is it beneficial to choose hydrophobic panels over normal panels?

Normal panels tend to accumulate dust quickly, making them difficult to clean. While Solitech’s hydrophobic panels save on cleaning costs, water wastage and in the long run, it provides 10% to 12% more electricity, making your investment more profitable.

Conclusion

Buying solar panels is not just a one-time purchase, but a 25-year investment. If you buy cheap panels, you will lose more money in cleaning and generation losses than the cost of the panels. Choosing panels with Solitech Solar’s hydrophobic coating is a wise move. It protects your pocket, your time, and your property.

Let me say at the outset, Solitech Solar is another name for sustainability and quality.
When we buy a solar panel, the first thing we pay attention to is the price and wattage. But have you ever thought about its frame? Especially in Gujarat, there are many areas where wind speed is very high. In such a situation, if the panels do not work, the investment goes to waste. 25-year warranty means nothing.
