Solar panels don't need constant cleaning, but they do benefit from regular maintenance.

In most cases, solar panels should be cleaned every 6–12 months to help maintain optimal performance. However, installations in dusty, mining, agricultural or low-rainfall areas may require more frequent cleaning.

Over time, dust, dirt and mineral deposits can accumulate on panel surfaces, potentially reducing efficiency and affecting long-term performance.

Understanding the quality of the water used during cleaning is also important, especially for systems that rely on borehole or stored water sources.

Clean panels. Better performance. Informed water management.

Why does chain of custody matter in water testing?

In environmental and mining-related testing, proper sample handling is just as important as the laboratory analysis itself.

A clear chain of custody process helps:
* Maintain sample integrity
* Ensure traceability
* Support audit readiness
* Improve confidence in reporting

Accurate environmental monitoring starts long before samples reach the laboratory.

Test It LAB supports mining and industrial operations with SANAS-accredited water testing and environmental monitoring services.

Water doesn’t just stay where it’s used… it moves.

In mining, contaminants can travel through water into rivers, groundwater, and surrounding communities — often without being immediately visible.

That’s why regular, accurate water testing is essential — not just for compliance, but for protecting people, environments, and operations.
