Solar light lenses have similar properties to magnifying glasses.
Scratching a solar light lens is the equivalent of dropping your car's transmission. The solar light lens focuses all the sun's rays and sends a concentrated beam of light to solar panel. You must use caution and care when cleaning a solar lens. Scrubbing the lens with any type of cloth causes unwanted scratching. A little air, water and dish detergent are all you need for cleaning.
Instructions
1. Spray the lens with compressed air. Hold the tip of the spray can 6 to 8 inches away from the lens. This removes most dust and debris without scratching the surface of the lens.
2. Mix a solution of 1 tbsp. of dish detergent and 5 cups of warm water in a plastic container. Stir the solution with a spoon until the dish detergent completely dissolves.
3. Pour the solution into a liquid spray bottle.
4. Spray a thin layer of the solution onto the solar lens. Let the solution soak for 5 minutes. Do not rub the lens.
5. Pour distilled water into a different liquid spray bottle. Spray the solar lens with the distilled water until there is no remaining detergent. Excess detergent damages the solar lens.
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until the solar light is fully cleaned.
