The Tucker Alpha Boar Bristle brush is the pinnacle of water fed brushes. This premium boar bristle window cleaning brush is built around a dual trim, 4 pencil jet brush but with some serious additions that even the most seasoned window cleaning professional will appreciate. It includes an over the top rinse bar as well as a swiveling gooseneck. This setup allows complete flexibility in cleaning to your specific style. You can choose to rinse directly through the 4 internal pencil jets, the over the top rinse bar, or using a Y-adapter you can use both at once. The swiveling gooseneck allows the experienced professional to rock the brush back and forth on the surface of the window, while maintaining contact and rinse power.

Solar Panel Cleaning FAQ
Why should I use DI (deionized) water instead of regular tap water?
Deionized water prevents streaks, spotting, and mineral residue from forming on your panels. Unlike tap water, it leaves a crystal-clear finish without soap or harsh chemicals—keeping your panels safe and your energy output high. Shop DI water systems from Signature Solar.
How should I brush the panels to avoid damage?
Use gentle, overlapping strokes with a quality water-fed brush. Maintain steady water flow while brushing to wash away loosened dirt.
What’s the best way to rinse and dry the panels?
Rinse thoroughly with purified water, then let them air-dry naturally. DI water will evaporate without leaving spots—no towels or wiping required.
How often should I clean my solar panels?
For most homes, a thorough cleaning every 6 months is ideal. In dusty, pollen-heavy, or bird-prone areas, quarterly cleaning can help maintain maximum efficiency.
Is rain enough to keep solar panels clean?
No. While rain can rinse off light dust, it often leaves behind mineral spots or streaks—especially in hard-water areas. Professional or DIY DI water cleaning ensures optimal performance.
Will cleaning my panels really improve energy output?
Yes! Dirt, dust, and debris can reduce efficiency by up to 10–25% or more. Regular cleaning helps ensure your system delivers the maximum return on your investment.
