Solar Panel Washing

Cleaning your solar panels regularly is a simple and inexpensive way to improve their efficiency.

Keep Your Solar Efficient

The dirt, bird dropping and other organic growth on your panels can impact the efficiency of your system, causing it to lose 12-23% of its electricity gain. Regular cleaning removes the dust and other debris (as mentioned above) that build up, keeping your system humming along at full capacity. In addition to reducing your energy output, a layer of dust can increase the amount of time it takes for rainwater to rinse off the solar panels.

Regularly sweeping the panels with a soft bristled broom is a good start. This will eliminate the most common dirt build-up. However, if your area is affected by smog or pollution, this may need to be done more frequently. Seasonal pollen is another factor that requires regular cleaning. Similarly, the residue left by tree sap and pitch should be removed from the panels as quickly as possible.
