5 STAR REVIEWS
We install these clips on almost all our cleaning projects now. We can see a massive difference in dirt accumulation after just a couple of months. Highly recommended and the easiest upsell for your solar cleaning service.
This is already our 4th order of these clips. Amazing product. They came highly recommended by some other cleaners. Our low-tilt solar installs had significant soiling losses. Absolute gamechanger!
We include solarsiphon clips on all our rooftop and ground mounted installations, period.
The reduction in soiling levels is quite mindblowing. No question this is a must have for every solar installer or O&M service provider.
SOLARSIPHON™ Solar Water Drain Clips
The Easy, Low-Cost Solution For Your Biggest Soiling Problems
WHY ARE SOILING BANDS A GLOBAL BILLION DOLLAR PROBLEM?
- Reduced Efficiency: Soiling bands create non-uniform shading on the solar panels, which can significantly reduce their overall energy output. Even partial shading of a panel can cause a disproportionate drop in performance due to the way solar cells are interconnected.
- Hot Spots: Accumulated dirt in specific areas can cause hot spots, where the affected cells heat up more than others. This not only reduces efficiency but can also damage the cells over time.
- Increased Maintenance: Solar panels with noticeable soiling bands require more frequent and targeted cleaning to restore their efficiency. This increases maintenance efforts and costs.
- Decreased Longevity: Prolonged exposure to uneven soiling can lead to degradation of the panel materials and components, potentially shortening the lifespan of the solar panels.
This can be easily avoided with the easy, low-cost installation of solarsiphon clips.
PROTECT YOUR SOLAR INVESTMENT
Solar Siphon™ will keep your O&M cost down by minimizing the cleaning time & frequency, maximizing your power generation and extending the service life of your solar assets
Maximize Lifespan
The Solar Siphon clips will prevent hotspot formation and shading on the cells, increasing the lifetime span and power generation of your investment.
Easy Installation
The Solar Siphon clips only takes seconds to install and stay fit on any size of solar frame, even when cleaning with rotary brushes, robots and/or Sunbrush Sytem
Minimize Soiling Loss
Solar Siphon prevents water and dust accumulation by draining the dirty stagnant water from the solar panels.

FAQ
Solar Siphon Frequently Asked Questions:
Not at all. Solar Siphon clips have a strong grip to the module frame and does not move when the modules are being cleaned. Even with robots, automated cleaning machines, rotating brushes or classic brushes for manual cleaning.
Absolutely. Solar Siphon allows all the cleaning machines to easily slide its brushes and not move or damage the clips. Solar Siphon is made to last by design!
Solar Siphon clips are available in all standard frame sizes: 30mm, 32mm, 35mm, 40mm and 45mm. Simply measure the thickness of the frame and order accordingly. Let us know when you want to order in bulk and request a quote for better prices and shipping.
When it rains, due to the slight projection of the edge of the panels, the stagnant water is not drained away in time, and the mud in the stagnant water precipitates to soiling the edges or the corners of the modules. The accumulation of dirt in the panels edge or in the corners, can have dramatic consequences on the proper functioning of the photovoltaic system, it reduces photovoltaic panel power generation, and will form hot spots effect, reducing the service life of panels.
The Solar Siphon™ is a self-fastening clip, made of durable pvc with UV-protective additives. When you clamp the Solar Siphon clip to the bottom edge of the PV panel, the stagnant water with the dirt will flow away.
The soiling bands left behind by that stagnant water will lower the output of the modules and are a potential risk for water ingression causing defect cells, or they even create hot-spots which will drastically reduce the expected lifetime of your investment.
First, make the whole surface of the PV panels clean. Next, clasp at least 1 or 2 clips to the bottom edge of the panels , one in every corner, 1 in the middle or on the side where the soiling bands are the worst. (depends on the tilt/level of the solar installation)
When it rains again, there will be no mud zone left behind.
Make sure to never step on the panels when installing the clips!
