The SolarDek PanelDrain is an innovative water syphon drain clip designed to enhance the long-term performance of solar PV arrays by eliminating standing water and dust or silt accumulation at the base of the panel frame. It is purpose-built for low-tilt installations from 3° up to 15°, where water and debris are most likely to pool along the lower frame edge.
Crafted from a flexible, recyclable polymer, the PanelDrain clips fast and securely onto the solar panel frame, requiring no tools or ongoing maintenance once fitted. By actively directing water away from the frame, it helps prevent the formation of soiling patterns that can reduce panel output over time.

This is the 30mm frame-width version of the SolarDek PanelDrain. DEKS also offers 32mm and 35mm variants for panels with different frame depths — confirm your panel's frame width before ordering to ensure a secure fit.
Anti-Clog Water Syphon Design
Actively removes stagnant water and dust/silt accumulation from the base of the panel frame, reducing the risk of clogging over time.
Purpose-Built for Low-Tilt Arrays
Specifically designed for low-tilt installations from 3° up to 15°, where water naturally collects and drains more slowly.
Flexible, Recyclable Construction
Made from a flexible, recyclable polymer that can be bent and adapted, and made from high-quality, automotive-grade plastic.
High Temperature Resistance
Rated to withstand temperatures of up to 105°C, suiting the demanding thermal conditions solar panels are exposed to on the roof.
UV-Protected for Longevity
The UV-resistant material is built for long-term outdoor exposure without premature degradation.
Simple, Tool-Free Installation
A self-fastening clip design allows fast, secure fitting directly to the solar panel frame, with no ongoing maintenance required.

These SolarDek PanelDrain variants share the same anti-clog design and material but are sized for different solar panel frame widths. Confirm your panel manufacturer's frame width specification before ordering to ensure the correct fit.
What does the SolarDek PanelDrain do?
It is a water syphon drain clip that fits to the base of a solar panel frame to actively remove stagnant water and dust or silt build-up, helping prevent soiling patterns that can reduce panel output over time.
What roof tilt angles is it designed for?
The PanelDrain is purpose-built for low-tilt installations from 3° up to 15°, where water is more likely to pool along the lower edge of the panel frame rather than run off naturally.
Which panel frames does the 30mm version fit?
The SDPD-30 is designed to fit solar panel frames with a 30mm width. DEKS also offers 32mm (SDPD-32) and 35mm (SDPD-35) versions for other frame sizes — check your panel's frame width before ordering.
How is the PanelDrain installed?
It uses a self-fastening clip design that clips directly onto the solar panel frame without tools, and requires no ongoing maintenance once fitted.
Is the PanelDrain durable enough for permanent outdoor use?
Yes. It is made from a UV-resistant, automotive-grade polymer rated to withstand temperatures of up to 105°C, making it suitable for long-term outdoor exposure on a roof-mounted solar array.
