[RE-wrenches] Razors & Removing paint from solar modules

[Mark Downing]

That would likely happen of the pressure spray were used on the back side of the modules.

We have seen cells shattered…kind of cracked… yet still functioning, when we have heard of clients using pressure washers on panels.

If your use a razor only use a fresh razor blades. The moment you feel burrs stop & replace the razor as the burrs will scratch the glass. Also keep the surface always wet with a soapy solution [surfactant] to keep the surface slick & this extends the short life of a razors edge.
Use a razor handle to hold the blade & keep a first aid kit available. Soapy water & razor blades have interesting incidents.  I owned a window tint shop 40 years ago & definitely had my share of razor cuts.

Just a razor blade. I doubt you can take if off chemically.

Hi Wrenches,

We had some painters try to paint a house in 35 mph winds and (of course) the overspray got onto some recently installed solar modules.  They were using a latex water-based exterior paint.  Are there any mild solvents you might recommend to help clean this up?  Or just elbow grease?

Thanks!
