Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive about our solar panel cleaning services.
Over time, solar panels accumulate fungus, dust, dirt, pollen, bird droppings, and other debris that block sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic cells. This buildup not only reduces the efficiency of your panels but can also create hotspots and damage the panels, leading to decreased energy production and increased repair costs. Regular cleaning removes these contaminants, prevents potential damage, and ensures your solar system operates at its best.
We recommend cleanings at least once or twice a year, depending on environmental factors such as dust levels, pollen, bird activity, and rainfall. However, if you notice a visible buildup of debris, it may be necessary to clean your panels more frequently.
Spring and fall are ideal times for solar panel cleaning, as these seasons often have moderate weather and increased pollen and dust levels. However, if you experience significant environmental debris during other times of the year, additional cleanings may be beneficial.
Yes, regular cleaning can make a significant difference in your solar panels' energy production. Studies have shown that dirty solar panels can lose up to 25% of their efficiency, while regular cleaning can increase energy output by up to 21%.
On the contrary, many manufacturers require regular cleaning as part of their warranty agreements. Professional cleaning helps you comply with these requirements and protect your investment.
The duration of the cleaning service depends on the size of your solar array and the level of debris. Most residential cleanings can be completed within 1-2 hours. Most commercial solar panel cleanings are completed within 2-4 hours, though larger installations may take longer (solar farms, etc) depending on their size and debris levels.
