0-TDS deionised water vs Perth tap water
Solar Cleanse uses 0-TDS deionised restoration — the same class of water specification used in precision manufacturing — to strip hard-water crust and airborne soils without introducing surfactants or aggressive pressure that compromise manufacturer coatings.
| Metric | 0-TDS process | Tap water |
|---|---|---|
| Total dissolved solids (TDS) | 0 ppm (lab-pure) | 150–400+ ppm typical Perth |
| Mineral load on glass | Leaves no residue when controlled | Calcium / magnesium film after dry |
| Chemical additives | None required | Often masked with detergents (risk to AR coatings) |
| Pressure risk to cells / frames | Low-pressure pure-water rinse | High-pressure tap can void warranties |
| Coastal + red-dust interaction | Lifts bonded soils without etching | Can bake minerals into hot glass |
Every completed service includes a Solar Performance & Condition Report so you have a dated technical record of array condition — valuable for warranty, insurance and asset sale documentation.
