Chemitek Paint Removal Agent (PRA) is a professional, biodegradable cleaning solution designed to safely remove paint, graffiti, polymer, and adhesive residues from solar panels and nearby surfaces. It dissolves and lifts unwanted coatings without harming the glass, frames, seals, or anti-reflective coatings of photovoltaic (PV) modules.
Formulated with a pH-neutral, non-corrosive composition, PRA delivers exceptional cleaning performance while remaining safe for both the environment and panel materials. Ideal for use after construction, maintenance, or overspray incidents, it helps restore the original appearance and optical clarity of solar panels — maintaining long-term performance and manufacturer warranty compliance.

PRA is a professional solar panel cleaning solution developed to safely remove paint, graffiti, and polymer residues from photovoltaic (PV) modules and surrounding surfaces.
The product effectively breaks down and lifts unwanted coatings without damaging the solar glass, frames, seals, or anti-reflective coatings.
It is a biodegradable, pH-neutral formulation, tested and approved for use on solar panels — ensuring a deep clean while maintaining surface integrity and manufacturer warranty compliance. Ideal for use after construction, maintenance, or overspray incidents.
Paint overspray
Graffiti and marking paint
Polymer and adhesive residues
Protective film or coating remnants
Paint Removal Agent is a biodegradable product designed to be as delicate as possible with the components of the solar module (ARC, silicone and aluminium frame).
Chemitek Paint Removal Agent (PRA) should always be diluted with pure or demineralised water before use.
The correct dilution depends on the type and thickness of the paint or coating to be removed.
Always apply to cool, dry panels, and avoid direct sunlight during cleaning.
For light paint film or fine mist overspray. Apply evenly, allow 5–10 minutes contact, then gently brush and rinse with pure water.
Ideal for general paint or polymer removal where moderate buildup is visible. Allow 10–15 minutes dwell time, agitate gently, and rinse thoroughly.
For thick or hardened paint, graffiti, or cured polymer residues. Apply liberally, allow up to 15 minutes dwell time, and repeat if necessary. Avoid drying on surface.
The product is most effective when applied on cool, dry panels — avoid use under strong sunlight.
Do not allow the solution to dry on the surface during application.
Always test on a small area first to ensure full compatibility.
For spot cleaning or small affected areas, dilute PRA according to the level of contamination (typically 1:2 to 1:10) and apply directly to dry panels using a sprayer or soft cloth.
Apply evenly to the contaminated areas.
Allow 5–15 minutes contact time depending on paint thickness.
Agitate gently with a soft or medium bristle brush to loosen the coating.
Rinse thoroughly with pure or demineralised water.
Repeat the process for thicker or cured layers if necessary.
For sites affected by widespread fine paint mist or polymer residue, PRA can be mixed directly into a tank or applied via low-pressure sprayers or robotic cleaning systems.
Mix at a ratio between 1:5 and 1:10 depending on the severity of soiling.
Apply evenly over the affected solar modules.
Allow 10–15 minutes dwell time, brushing if necessary to assist removal.
Rinse thoroughly using pure water and soft brushes.
Chemitek is a global leader in the development of innovative solar panel cleaning and maintenance chemicals. Their range is designed to maximise PV system performance while protecting the environment. All products are biodegradable, TÜV-tested, and approved by major solar module manufacturers.
Unlike general-purpose cleaners, Chemitek products are specifically formulated for photovoltaic (PV) glass. They remove soiling effectively without damaging anti-reflective coatings, seals, or frames. Each product targets a specific issue — such as organic soiling, lichen growth, or static dust — and has been tested for compatibility and warranty safety.
Yes. Every Chemitek solution is biodegradable, pH-neutral, and non-toxic, designed for use in sensitive environments including floating PV systems and agricultural installations. Wastewater management guidelines are provided to ensure compliance with local regulations.
SWP is a 2-in-1 cleaner and antistatic protectant for regular maintenance of solar panels, removing dirt, pollen, and organic residue.
LRA, on the other hand, is a specialised treatment for stubborn biological growths such as lichen, moss, and algae. It’s ideal for panels in damp or shaded UK and Irish environments.
Yes. Chemitek holds letters of conformity from leading module manufacturers confirming that its products are warranty-safe when used according to the official instructions. They have been independently tested by TÜV SÜD to ensure full compatibility with solar glass and frames.
Cleaning frequency depends on the local environment. In the UK and Ireland, panels typically benefit from 1–2 cleanings per year using SWP, with additional LRA treatment as needed in high-lichen or coastal areas. ASA 2.0 can extend the interval between cleanings by up to 50%.
Yes — positively. By removing soiling and preventing recontamination, Chemitek products help recover lost yield caused by dirt and biological buildup. Field results show 3–5% performance improvements after cleaning with SWP or LRA, and longer-lasting cleanliness when ASA 2.0 is applied.
Chemitek’s full range — including SWP, LRA, ASA 2.0, and other cleaning agents — is available through their official UK & Ireland distributor, Solar Clean Robotics UK.
