Water Off Clip - for Solar Panels

The Water Off Clip is a durable, weather-resistant accessory designed for quick and secure attachment to solar panels. It prevents water accumulation during and after installation, protecting panels from moisture damage and enhancing energy generation. Easy to install and compatible with various solar systems, it improves efficiency and extends the lifespan of your solar investment.

Minimum Tilt Angle

Water Off Clips are most effective when the panel is tilted enough to allow gravity to assist drainage. While manufacturers don’t always specify an exact minimum angle, industry best practices suggest:

- Minimum recommended tilt: 10–15°
- Ideal for drainage: >15°, especially in areas with frequent rain or dust

At lower angles (<10°), water tends to pool more easily, reducing the effectiveness of the clips.

Quantity Needed per Panel

This depends on the panel’s orientation and installation layout:

- Portrait orientation: Typically 1 clip per panel, placed at the bottom edge where water accumulates
- Landscape orientation: 2 clips per panel are often recommended—one on each lower corner—to ensure balanced drainage

If panels are installed in rows with shared rails, you might be able to optimize placement and reduce clip count slightly.

Portrait vs. Landscape
Water Off Clips are designed to work with both portrait and landscape installations, as long as they’re placed at the lowest edge where water tends to collect. The key is identifying the natural drainage path based on tilt and orientation.
