How do you clean solar panels?
We use a specialised, pure water-fed pole system, combined with a soft brush, to gently clean your panels. This method is chemical-free and designed to lift dirt, dust, and residue without damaging the panels or frames. The purified water removes calcium and other minerals, leaving a spotless, streak-free finish.
This is the same approach recommended by many solar panel manufacturers for safe and effective maintenance.
How often should often solar panels be cleaned?
Washing your solar panels a couple of times a year helps to ensure cost savings through better efficiency of the solar panel. For example, you could lose around 20% of your energy if you only wash your solar panels once a year, and 35% if you only wash them every two years.
The percentage can increase or decrease depending on the environmental factors that surround the roof. For example, if the building is located near a gravel road, the panels will accumulate dust buildup. If it is located near a high-traffic area, pollution from vehicles will coat the solar panels. If there are tall trees nearby, the residue from the trees can land on the solar panels and affect their efficiency.
Regular cleaning not only improves efficiency but helps protect your solar panel investment over the long term.
