Possible Causes

Persistent moisture on panel surfaces, Organic debris accumulation, Shaded or humid installation environment, Lack of periodic cleaning

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use fall protection and non-slip footwear on the roof. Do not use harsh chemicals that can damage panels or roofing.

  • Rinse panels: Use a garden hose with moderate pressure to rinse dirt, leaves, and algae from the Heliocol panels. Avoid high-pressure washers.
  • Use mild cleaner: If needed, apply a mild, non-abrasive, non-petroleum-based cleaner approved for plastics and rinse thoroughly.
  • Improve drainage: Ensure panels are installed with proper slope so water does not pool on the surface.
  • Trim vegetation: Cut back overhanging branches to increase sun exposure and reduce moisture retention.
