Prevent Power Loss: Solar Panel Cleaning Services For Efficient Energy Generation

Rainwater on its own helps with reducing dust build-up and the like, but it doesn’t clean solar panels of all the grime that builds up over time.

Just like with a car windscreen, you need to use your windscreen wipers to get rid of road grime build up, the same principle applies to solar panels. Rainwater does not do the job on its own.

How Much Electricity Do Dirty Solar Panels Lose?

The amount of electricity being generated by your solar panels is adversely affected by dirt and grime build-up on the panels.

Solar panels are comprised of many small units called photovoltaic cells. These cells covert sunlight into electricity. If sunlight is shielded or blocked from penetrating the panel and hitting the cells, then the shielded cells do not produce electricity.

According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, experts agree that the loss in electricity production reaches as high as 25% in some areas. This figure is backed up by SEPA (Solar Electric Power Association) which is a non-profit organization which offers information and advice about solar power.

Some areas are more prone to grime build up than others. The pitch of the roof is another contributing factor along with salt spray in coastal areas, bird droppings, mould, moss, dust and grime fallout. Dirt does not need to cover an entire solar panel to have a negative impact on performance.

*DIY Solar Panel Cleaning Can Be Dangerous*

The panel cleaning process uses water which in turn flows onto the roof and can make it slippery and very unsafe to walk on without the correct equipment.

Our advice is to leave it to the professionals.

We also provide pressure cleaning for rooftops, gutters, and driveways.
