Professional Solar Panel Cleaning

Solar panel cleaning is usually the last thing on someone’s mind when it comes to installing a solar panel system on their home or business. It is more common to think about how much the cost of the system will be and the potential energy savings.solar-roof-panels

Do dirty panels really matter?

The external surfaces of your panels are designed to capture sunlight and convert that to usable electricity so anything that hinders the ability of the panels to capture sunlight will decrease the amount of generated electricity. This decrease will cut into your energy savings. Unlike a car that can be left dirty for months at a time with no impact, your solar panels will perform less efficiently.

What makes solar panels dirty?

A solar panel system is typically mounted high on the roof of a home or business leaving it susceptible to all elements of nature. Dirt, which comes in many forms, has the biggest impact. Dirt can be loose soil or sand from the ground, dust, or grime. All of which becomes airborne potentially mixing with other substances in the air and eventually finding its way onto your solar panels. With our often wet climate, moisture becomes a big problem leading to water spots facilitating quicker accumulation of dirt. Bugs, insects, and bird droppings are also a major concern.solar-panels

Since solar panels have no moving parts, we might tend to ignore their maintenance. Not only do the panels themselves need regular cleaning, any framing around the panel should be cleaned as well. While a solar panel can theoretically function for 30 years or more, a frame that is allowed to deteriorate will dramatically shortens that panel's useful life.

While the actual cleaning of the Solar Panel is often simple, accessing the panel can prove to be a risky task. Professional services such as window cleaners are well equipped to handle the task of cleaning roof mounted or other high solar panels. When employing someone to clean your solar panels, Safety should be your main concern and always hire a Professional Service Provider.
