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 47):
A method of performing at least one of a cleaning, buffing, and polishing action on a surface of a solar panel, comprising the steps of:\n causing a core member to move in a first direction such that a portion of at least one sheet of material attached thereto is brought into contact with the surface of the solar panel in a repeating pattern; and causing the core member to move in a second direction such that the core member moves along an area of the solar panel so as to perform the at least one of a cleaning, buffing, and polishing, wherein the at least one sheet of material is comprised of a closed-cell silicone foam rubber attached to the core member so as to have a first free end portion extending away from the core member, and wherein the free end contacts the surface to perform the at least one of a cleaning, buffing, and polishing.
