D-Solar Defendor (DSD) is a high-performance hydrophobic and antistatic coating designed specifically for solar panels. It reduces dust adhesion, keeps panels cleaner between cleanings, increases the efficiency of subsequent washes, and boosts radiance on rainy days, producing up to 5% more energy.
The hydrophobic coating is intended for application in specific climates (extreme rain or drought) using a robot or brush tractor, and on solar panels that are not heavily soiled. D-Solar Defendor is ideal for solar panel owners seeking to maximize energy output and protect their investment, especially in areas with high dust, dirt, or humidity.
- Improved Energy Efficiency: Anti-reflective properties reduce glare and reflection, increasing energy output and efficiency.
- Long-lasting Protection: Maintains cleanliness and durability, extends lifespan, and reduces maintenance costs. The coating lasts up to 1 year; ChemiTek recommends applying twice a year in areas with more soiling.
- Fully tested by TÜV Sud
- Environmentally Friendly: Eco-friendly and safe for all types of solar panels.

FAQs
- What kind of protection does D-Solar Defendor give to my solar panels? D-Solar Defendor provides a hydrophobic coating that repels water and dirt, reduces dirt adhesion, water consumption, and cleaning time, increasing energy production by up to 5%.
- What types of equipment can I use the D-Solar Defendor on? Designed for application with a robot or tractor brush.
- Should I use any specific water to dilute the D-Solar Defendor solution? Yes, use de-ionized (distilled) water, free of ions, to dilute the solution. For hard water, use a water softening agent.
- Can I apply this hydrophobic protection solution in extreme climates? Yes, it is developed for extreme climates, especially very rainy or humid environments.
- What is the difference between D-Solar Defendor and ASA solution? ASA is for all climates and provides an antistatic coating; D-Solar is for extreme climates and provides a hydrophobic coating, requiring specific water for dilution.
- Do solar photovoltaic panels need to be cleaned? Yes, any dirt reduces sunlight reaching the cells and thus power output.
- How do I know my solar panels are clean? Even if panels look clean, dirt may be present. Wipe with a white cloth to check.
- If the solar panel is dirty, is it less efficient? Yes, very dirty panels can lose up to 50% efficiency; even some dirt can cause 10-15% energy loss.
- Can climate alone keep solar panels clean? No, rain, snow, or wind do not clean panels effectively; manual cleaning is necessary.
- What products can I use to safely clean my solar panels? Use cleaners that meet manufacturer requirements and have neutral pH, tested by international labs.
- Is there any way to keep panels from getting dirty so easily? Yes, antistatic and hydrophobic coatings like ChemiTek's reduce cleaning time, maintenance costs, and water usage.
