SolarFrameWorks Introduces Industry’s First Solar Panel Maintenance Solution

PowerBoost maximizes solar power output and lowers utility costs

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Aug. 14, 2008 – SolarFrameWorks, a manufacturer and distributor of photovoltaic technology, today introduced a pioneering solar panel cleaning agent, PowerBoost®. PowerBoost is a touchless, biodegradable solution that repels debris from solar panels to maximize solar power production and lower utility costs. According to customer results, PowerBoost provides an immediate and dramatic increase in power output.

“Solar panel cleaning is extremely important to achieve maximum output of a solar electric system,” said Dr. Patrina Eiffert, CEO, SolarFrameWorks. “The financial impact of a clean solar panel is immediate. More electricity produced by the solar panels means less dollars billed by the utility company and a direct savings to the owner. During this time of year, when solar systems generate the most power due to air conditioning usage, cleaning maintenance is especially important.”

Available for both residential and commercial applications, PowerBoost can be applied within minutes using a standard garden hose. The intense foaming solution contains high-quality surfactants that remove grime thereby increasing the level of solar insulation that is able to reach the solar cells. PowerBoost works on all types of glass, such as the tempered glass layered on the top of most crystalline solar panels. PowerBoost not only enhances the cleaning process but leaves behind a specially-formulated coating to reduce the number of cleanings required.

“Last year, I installed solar panels to fuel my electricity,” said Richard Loesch, a Carmichael, California resident. “In light of the wild fires raging throughout the state, I grew concerned about how I would be able to properly maintain my solar panels with all the ash and soot left behind. After using PowerBoost, my concern is gone. It’s very easy to apply and works instantly. In even the harshest environmental conditions, I am confident in the effectiveness of PowerBoost and highly recommend this product.”
