Abstract:
A method and device for cleaning and pretreating solar panels is provided. The device comprises a brush having cleaning elements made from silicone foam rubber material. The cleaning elements can be flaps of silicone foam rubber material. A sheet of silicone foam rubber material having two free ends can be attached to a core member such that the two free ends extend away from the core member to form flaps. The solar panels can be cleaned by brushing the solar panel surfaces with the flaps of silicone foam rubber material. The solar panels can also be pretreated by brushing the solar panel surfaces with silicone foam rubber material.

Claim (Index 31):
A brush configured to perform at least one of a cleaning, buffing, and polishing action on a surface, comprising:\n a core member, the core member having a central axis and a periphery; and at least one sheet of material, the at least one sheet of material being comprised of closed-cell silicone foam rubber and having at least a first free end portion; wherein the at least one sheet of material is attached to the core member with the at least first free end portion extending away from the periphery of the core member such that the material attachment is substantially parallel to the central axis of the core member; wherein the core member includes a flat surface adjacent the attachment of each said sheet of material; wherein the core member and the at least one sheet of material are configured for relative movement with respect to the surface in at least a first direction; wherein the motion in the first direction causes the at least first free end portion of the at least one sheet of material to contact the surface at a non-zero velocity; wherein the motion of the at least first free end portion of the at least one sheet of material produces at least one of the cleaning, buffing and/or polishing action on the surface.
