What is Lavee Solar?

What is Lavee Solar?

Lavee Solar is a waterless solar panel cleaner and protector with built‑in SmartShield™ surface protection.

It is designed for simple, fast application, with no water required before, during or after use. Each panel typically requires around 50 ml and can be treated in 30-45 seconds using manual or selected automated methods.

By cleaning panels and helping slow the rate of ongoing re‑soiling, Lavee Solar reduces cleaning‑related risk linked to frequent panel handling, water dependence, and repeated site access. This supports more stable real-world energy performance between cleaning cycles, helping reduce avoidable performance loss and protect long-term financial returns, without adding complexity to maintenance operations.

Lavee Solar is biodegradable, lab-tested and designed for long-term care of modern PV modules in warranty-sensitive environments.

Whether you install, operate or own solar systems - from rooftops to utility-scale farms - Lavee Solar integrates easily into existing workflows and helps protect solar assets from day one.

<strong>Why Lavee Solar exists</strong>

Why Lavee Solar exists

Solar performance degrades over time - not because systems fail, but because soiling is unavoidable in real‑world operating conditions. After irradiance, it is one of the most significant operational causes of energy loss, with global impacts estimated at €4–7 billion per year (Source: IEA PVPS).

Lavee Solar exists to address this gap. It safely removes existing soiling without water and applies built‑in surface protection that helps slow the rate of re‑soiling - supporting more stable, real‑world performance between cleaning cycles.

At the same time, most solar maintenance still depends on water intensive cleaning, with an estimated 40 billion litres used annually worldwide (Source: MIT, 2022). Lavee Solar’s completely waterless application reduces reliance on water, site logistics, and repeat site access, lowering operational friction without adding complexity.

By reducing both soiling‑ and cleaning related risk, Lavee Solar helps protect long‑term solar performance and supports more predictable maintenance outcomes over the life of the asset.
