I am getting white haze film over my solar panals. Does this reduce effectiveness? Any ideas on how to remove the haze?

I assume that if the haze gets bad that it would lower the effectiveness. I bet there are commercial cleaners made just for solar panels that would be an option. Also, the special auto cleaners for restoring clouded headlight covers would work too.

Peel the plastic film off the solar panel. It is there to protect the solar cells during shipment.

In my experience, it does not leave a white film following its application. It disappears shortly after applying, not leaving a 'ghostly' look behind.

I have not tried to remove the coating, my unit is mounted on the passenger side of the console so it doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight (for the most part)

Hi Michael,burn in is pretty much a thing of the past now.Panasonic tvs move the image slightly a row or two of pixels (you can't notice it) to keep burn in at bay anyway.Just don't pause the game for hours on end and you should be right.If you notice the effect put the tv on an analogue station that's untuned and the snowy picture will clear it .Mpst tvs have a widget called an orbiter that puts a small image on the screen and it moves around if it detects a paused picture after a certain amount of time.I hope this helps and enjoy your new Plasma.

I would try it on a spot no one can see...just in case it removes any tint. In my short experience with this product, I'd say it would remove smoke odors. FYI it seems to be the best window cleaner I've used, even though it doesn't say to use it for windows!

I don't know about the coating specifically. I can tell you from experience that we installed the film on the door which faces the west side of our house and it is noticeably cooler on the curtain and the floor when the afternoon/evening sun swings around. We are very happy with its performance. Looking at the box, the label says it's designed to reject up to 70% of Sun's heat (thats kind of funny, in a way) and up to 93% of the UV rays. It is more reflective on on the outside facing side, and slightly tinted on the interior facing side. It changes the color spectrum of our garden when we're looking outside but it's sort of like looking at it through sunglasses.The temperature difference was noticeable right away. it is suggested to install it on cool glass before the sunlight is coming through. I think this is a good idea.

Hi, Plastic Deep Cleaner will not remove the haze from headlights. We recommend polishing them with a car polish such as einszett Paint Polish and a polishing machine. There are headlight restoration kits available as well. However, keep in mind that they will haze again so you'll want to polish them once or twice a year.

I have double paned windows and my husband placed it on the outside of the windows and I love it. I have solar blinds in the back of my house, but I must say I love the window film better. Plus it is a lot cheaper. We live in southern Mississippi...very humid and sometimes stormy, and the film stays on the windows perfectly. Never had a problem. Highly recommend this product.

I go over the solar receptor lens with clear nail polish. You will never have to worry about foggy, glazed over solar panels again!

sorry to hear. it's annoying, especially if you're meticulous with these things! i'm not sure it's common (at least it hasn't happened to me). however, i do use a lens blower/duster, a microfiber, methyl alcohol cleaning liquid. see this useful link from Ken Rockwell (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/cleaning.htm) and more generic help from B&H;: http://goo.gl/L3ZE9. good luck. post back how you make out.

RTG - I live on the central coast of CA, so it is interesting hearing about your experience. It did strike me, perhaps there is a clear UV-blocking urethane(?) spray you could apply to the film. Maybe that could add some protection from the sun.

Not sure why you're having issues. I've been using this product on all my screens for a very long time and never had a problem. Make sure your not spraying it on the screen and applying it to the cloth and then wiping the screen. Also make sure the TV has been off for some time and is cool. You don't want to apply this to a warm / hot screen just like you don't want to wax a car in direct sun.

i did not have artscape, but if it is like the regular energy glare you will need to clean the window and make a squeeze bottle with a little soap and water. Spray both sides of the film and have a squeegie to help apply the film.

No, it does not add haze. Images are very clear and you hardly know the protector is in place. Outdoors, the anti-glare allows you to view your device's screen with good clarity even in direct sunlight.

After initial application, the floor will have a slight haze. Barely noticeable. There isn't any interference with cleaning. By the way, the product works great.

Having never had to do it, I can only offer suggestions. Not a technician, but at 67, been around the block a few times enough to garner experience. ;&lt;) 1. Is it a hard water accumulation (white powder) ? If so, soak in vinegar. 2. Is it possibly fabric strands (shouldn't, but could be) ? If so, try to remove the screens. You might try soaking them in bleach or drain cleaner (it's main ingredient is bleach). After removing the worst of it, you could then carefully (IF the screen is metal and there is no RUBBER gasket), hold the screen over a flame to burn off the rest. OR, you could spend a lot of time meticulously picking out whatever is left. All I can think of. Hope I've helped.
