How to Clean Solar Light Lens

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.
