Challenges Faced During Installation of Solar Film

There are many challenges that can be faced during the installation of solar film, but some of the most common include:

• Dealing with uneven surfaces: Uneven surfaces can make it difficult to get the film to adhere properly and can also lead to wrinkles or bubbles.
• Getting the film to lay flat: Solar film is typically very thin and can be difficult to work with. It is important to take your time and be careful not to crease or damage the film.
• Dealing with curves: Curved surfaces can also be difficult to work with, and it is important to take your time and use a heat gun or other tool to help conform the film to the surface.
•  Cleaning the surface: The surface must be cleaned thoroughly before installation, as any dirt or debris will show through the solar film.
