Solar Panel Cleaning
Airborne dust particles, sticky tree and plant sap, lichen, soot and bird droppings are just a few of the things that can contribute to a build up of dirt on your solar panels. Accumulation creates shading on the solar panels and will prevent sunlight reaching the cells. This results in poor system performance, loss or efficiency and a loss of financial return for the owner and investor of solar energy.
Maximise Efficiency
Cleaning solar PV panels ensures optimal sunlight absorption, maximizing energy production and system efficiency.
Maintain Performance
Regular cleaning helps prevent dust, dirt, and debris buildup, ensuring consistent performance and output from your solar PV system
Prolong Lifespan
By keeping panels clean, you reduce the risk of damage and degradation, extending the lifespan of your solar PV system
Enhance ROI
Clean panels yield higher energy production, leading to increased savings and a better return on your solar investment over time.
"The amount of electricity generated by a solar module is proportional to the amount of light falling on it. A Module with shaded cells will produce less energy and therefore it is important to keep the module clean."
Why Clean Solar Panels
“My solar panels are self cleaning and maintenance free” This is a myth! when a solar panel is called self cleaning, it tends to mean that the surface is hydrophobic: meaning water droplets cannot tick to the surface. In essence, those surfaces aren’t exactly self0cleaning and maintenance free. They do reduce mineral residue that can block the sun reaching the cells, however in a dusty environment a single cell within the panel can become inefficient and this will affect the performance of the rest of the cells within the panel. As they are wired in series, if one cell is shaded, then the output of the entire panel is lower as a result. Rain alone is not enough to ensure solar panels remain free from a build up of dirt throughout one year, let alone a lifetime
