Low-Pressure Solar Panel Cleaning

WHY CLEAN SOLAR PANELS?

Solar panels are a big investment toward saving money on your electric bill, but unfortunately if they are not cleaned regularly, they can experience a drop-off in efficiency, which means you are no longer saving as much on your electric bills.  You wouldn’t believe how quickly dirt, grime, mold, and mildew can accumulate on your solar system. Leaves and branches, bird droppings and dust are always working to make your solar panels inefficient which in turn is costing you money. 

Unclean solar panels can mean a power loss of up to 30% or even more in some areas, but regular solar cleaning helps maintain a well-functioning solar system and ensures maximum power (kW) output and savings in your pocket.

DOES THE RAIN CLEAN SOLAR PANELS?

We get asked all the time if rain cleans solar panels.  Our response: look at your windshield after a rain.  How well did the rain clean it?  Imagine if you didn’t wash your windshield for six months, how much would that impact visibility?  Have you ever seen a car that has not been driven for months, the grime that accumulates will eventually “green over” as algae and begin to set up shop!  Rain contains airborne dust particles that settle and attach to the surface after rainwater evaporates. Even when we use our windshield wipers, we cannot remove all the dirt and bugs. Your entire solar panel system is in exactly the same condition as the edge of your windshield not reached by the wipers because they are both exposed to the same elements. Visibility through your windscreen is lost due to the loss of light. The same principle holds true for solar panel cleaning.  This is why it’s so important to keep your solar panels clean so they can perform, maximizing the light that passes through the glass to the solar cells.
