Why Is Solar Panel cleaning is Important?
Over time, solar panels can accumulate dust, dirt, bird droppings, pollen, and various other debris, leading to a decrease in efficiency. This layer of dirt acts as a barrier, hindering sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic cells and subsequently reducing the panels’ electricity generation capacity. Regular cleaning is essential to eliminate these obstructions, enabling the panels to capture more sunlight and generate increased electricity. Clean solar panels are less prone to damage and degradation. By removing dirt and debris, you can help prolong the lifespan of your solar panels and reduce the need for costly repairs or replacements.
Benefits of Professional Solar Panel Cleaning Services
- Preventing injuries from working on ladders, which can be dangerous for homeowners.
- Maximizes energy production : Removing dirt, dust, bird droppings and other debris allows maximum sunlight to reach the solar cells, increasing the panels' electricity generation.
- Prevents damage and prolongs panel lifespan : Routine cleaning prevents abrasion, etching, and hot spot formation that can permanently damage panels over time.
- It helps solar panels operate at peak efficiency before significant degradation occurs.
- Professional crews are trained to clean panels safely without risking injury or panel damage that homeowners could face.
- Professionals use treated water and agitation rather than chemicals that could leave residue. They have specialized equipment like soft brushes and extension poles to access hard-to-reach areas effectively.
