Le nettoyage cryogénique impose-t-il un arrêt de production ?

Non. Le nettoyage cryogénique permet d'intervenir sur des machines en fonctionnement, sans démontage lourd, sans eau et sans produit chimique.

Le nettoyage cryogénique abîme-t-il les surfaces ?

Non. La glace carbonique se sublime à -78,5°C au contact de la surface sans friction mécanique. Adapté aux surfaces sensibles : aluminium, pierre naturelle, composants électroniques.

Le procédé est-il compatible avec les normes agroalimentaires ?

Oui. Sans eau, sans produit chimique et sans résidu, le nettoyage cryogénique répond aux exigences HACCP et aux environnements pharmaceutiques réglementés.

Peut-on nettoyer des armoires électriques avec le nettoyage cryogénique ?

Oui. Le procédé est non conducteur et entièrement à sec, idéal pour les armoires électriques, tableaux de distribution et équipements sensibles à l'humidité.

Combien coûte un nettoyage cryogénique en Belgique ?

Le tarif dépend de la surface, du type d'encrassement et de l'accessibilité. Icetec propose des devis gratuits sous 6h. Contactez-nous sur icetec.be/contact.

Dry ice blasting for solar panels

A dirty solar panel loses up to 30% of its output. Dry ice blasting restores maximum output without water, without detergent and without risk to photovoltaic cells. Icetec operates across all your installations in Belgium and Luxembourg.

The impact of dirt

What dirt really costs your installation

-30%

Without cleaning

Dust, droppings and moss block the radiation. Your panels produce up to 30% less without you noticing.

+100%

After cleaning

Your panels recover 100% of their rated output. The lost yield is fully recovered, visible immediately on your meter.

< 6 months

ROI of the intervention

The cost of a cleaning is paid back in under 6 months through the recovered electrical output. A quick-return investment.

Extended lifespan

Acidic deposits progressively degrade cells. Regular cleaning doubles the effective lifespan of your panels.

Why dry ice blasting?

The most suitable method for solar panels

Zero risk to the cells

Non-abrasive process: the ice sublimates without scratching the glass or damaging photovoltaic cells. No risk of micro-cracks that would degrade output long term.

No water, zero limescale

Water cleaning leaves limescale traces that reduce output again. Dry ice blasting leaves no residue, panels stay clean longer.

Fast intervention on large parks

Cryonomic equipment allows large surfaces to be treated quickly. A 500-panel solar farm can be cleaned in a single day.

Everywhere in Belgium

Solar farms, warehouse roofs, carports, power plants: Icetec covers all your installations in Wallonia, Brussels, Flanders and Luxembourg.

Frequently asked questions

Dry ice blasting for solar panels

No. Dry ice sublimates instantly with no abrasive action on the glass. Icetec adapts pressure to each type of panel to remove deposits without touching the photovoltaic cells or aluminium frame. Manufacturer warranty remains valid.

In Belgium, we recommend 1 to 2 cleanings per year depending on site exposure: roofs near trees or agricultural areas get dirty faster. For the most exposed installations, a half-yearly maintenance schedule is ideal.

Yes. The dry ice blasting process is completely dry, no risk of short-circuit. Panels can stay connected during the intervention. Electrical output is maintained during cleaning and returns to optimal level immediately after.

The rate depends on the number of panels, accessibility and location. Generally, expect between €3 and €8 per panel depending on intervention conditions. For a 20-panel residential installation, this represents around €80 to €160. Free personalised quote within 6 hours.

Yes. Icetec operates throughout Belgium and Luxembourg. Travel costs are included in the personalised quote. For large parks in Luxembourg, we offer grouped interventions to optimise logistics costs.
