Solar Panel Cleaning Water System Oman

Fixed RO skid and buffer tank producing solar panel cleaning water at a desert solar farm in Oman

UV Water Systems designs, builds and services the solar panel cleaning water system behind PV washing in Oman. Raw mains, borewell or tankered supply goes in; water under 10 ppm TDS comes out, so modules dry without spotting and the anti-reflective coating is not damaged. We have been engineering RO and DI plants in the Sultanate for over 14 years and we are ISO 9001:2015 certified.

What we supply

Every solar panel cleaning water system we build is sized to your feed water analysis, module count and wash cycle. Nothing is sold from a catalogue.

  • Raw water tank, feed pump and multimedia or sand pre-filtration
  • Antiscalant and metabisulphite dosing with EMEC metering pumps
  • 5 micron cartridge filtration and Grundfos high pressure pump
  • Reverse osmosis with DuPont Filmtec brackish water membranes
  • Permeate storage and mixed bed DI polishing to under 1 ppm
  • Delivery pump, hose reel and inline TDS monitoring at the lance
  • Trailer or skid mounting, control panel, and commissioning on site

Standard configurations

Indicative sizing for a brush-and-rinse method on a three week wash cycle. Final sizing follows your feed analysis.

Site size Water per cycle RO capacity DI polisher Buffer tank
Rooftop, up to 500 modules 0.3 – 0.4 m³ 250 LPH Portable vessel 1 m³
1 – 5 MW 1 – 6 m³ 500 LPH 25 – 50 L mixed bed 5 m³
5 – 20 MW 6 – 25 m³ 1,000 LPH 50 – 100 L mixed bed 10 m³
Above 20 MW 25 m³ and up 2,000 LPH and up Twin vessel 20 m³ and up

Water specification we deliver to

These are the numbers written into our commissioning report, and the numbers your O&M contract can be held to.

Parameter Delivered
TDS Under 5 ppm
Conductivity Under 10 µS/cm
Total hardness Under 1 ppm as CaCO3
Reactive silica Under 1 ppm
Turbidity Under 1 NTU

Mobile units for cleaning contractors

Contractors working across several sites need the plant to travel. We build a trailer mounted solar panel cleaning water system with its own tank, RO unit, mixed bed vessel, delivery pump and generator, so the crew arrives with spot-free water instead of hunting for a usable water point. Rooftop portfolios in Muscat and remote arrays in the interior are the usual cases.

Included in our scope

  • Feed water analysis review and membrane projection
  • Complete solar panel cleaning water system, fully assembled and factory tested
  • Delivery to site, installation and commissioning
  • Testing and commissioning report with feed and product TDS, flows and pressures
  • Operation manual and operator training
  • Twelve month warranty on equipment

Not included

  • Civil works, plinth, shade structure and drainage for the reject line
  • Power supply, main breaker and cabling to the control panel
  • Raw water source, borewell, tanker supply or connection to it
  • Reject water disposal, evaporation pond or approved tanker route
  • Brushes, poles, robots and any panel washing equipment downstream of the hose reel
  • Consumables after the first set, unless covered by an AMC

Service and consumables

A solar panel cleaning water system fails quietly. Resin exhausts, the meter is not read, and the crew keeps spraying hard water onto glass for weeks. Our annual maintenance contract covers scheduled cartridge changes, media backwash checks, membrane cleaning, antiscalant dose verification against a fresh feed analysis, and mixed bed resin replacement on outlet TDS rather than on a calendar. We hold stock of Filmtec membranes, mixed bed resin, cartridges and antiscalant in Muscat.

How to get a quotation

  1. Send your feed water analysis, or ask us to test a sample. TDS, hardness, silica, chloride and turbidity are the ones that decide the design.
  2. Tell us module count or plant capacity, wash method and wash cycle.
  3. We return a sized design with the membrane projection, an itemised quotation and every exclusion stated in writing, usually within two working days.

Frequently asked questions

How long does delivery take?

Standard capacities up to 1,000 LPH are typically four to six weeks from order confirmation. Larger and trailer mounted units depend on the build and are quoted case by case.

Do you work on government and oil and gas projects?

Yes. Uniqueness View LLC is registered with the Oman Tender Board and with JSRS for the oil and gas sector, and we supply hospitals, oil companies and government entities across the Sultanate.

Can you upgrade an existing RO unit instead of replacing it?

Often, yes. Adding a mixed bed polisher, correct dosing and inline TDS monitoring to a working RO is usually cheaper than a new solar panel cleaning water system. We will say so if that is the right answer for your site.

Talk to us about your site

Send your feed water analysis and module count and we will size it. Read the full technical background in our guide to solar panel cleaning water in Oman or the Arabic version, see our industrial RO plant guide and all water treatment services, or contact us on +968 9763 7786. Oman is targeting 30% renewable electricity by 2030 across projects such as Ibri and Manah, as reported by Times of Oman, and every one of those modules will need washing.
