Benefits of Solar Panels Cleaning:

• Increased Efficiency

Over time, dust, dirt, bird droppings, and even lichen can build up and block sunlight reaching the cells. Studies have shown that without regular solar panel cleaning maintenance it can decrease energy production. This reduction can be significant for solar panels in areas with high levels of dust and soiling. Having clean solar panels enables the cells to absorb sunlight more effectively, resulting in increased electricity generation. A regular solar panel cleaning schedule will help to optimise your energy production and increase efficiency.

• Extended Lifespan

Regular solar panel cleaning is essential for identifying any potential issues early on. Addressing these concerns promptly can help avoid unnecessary additional costs and damage to your solar PV array. Accumulated dirt, lichen and hard soiling may cause hotspots, this occurs when a solar panel is shaded and the current cannot flow around the cells. Eventually the current concentrates in cells, causing them to overheat. Frequent cleaning schedules help to mitigates this, safeguarding the panels' integrity and extending their lifespan.

• Cost Savings

Frequently cleaning solar panels will help to prevent unnecessary hard soiling and lichen growth on your solar panels, which is much more costly to treat and clean. When using a professional and experienced solar panel cleaner on a regular basis, it helps to reduce overall maintenance costs by catching potential problems early and reducing the need for extensive and costly maintenance.

• Improved Aesthetics

Well-maintained solar panels have a more attractive appearance, which is especially significant for both residential and commercial properties. Keeping solar panels in good condition can also enhance the property's value.

• Environmental Benefits

Keeping solar panels operating at their maximum efficiency helps to cut your carbon footprint and optimise the environmental benefits of this renewable energy source.

• Insurance and Warranty Compliance

Certain manufacturers' warranties require routine maintenance which includes solar panel cleaning, and not doing so could invalidate the warranty. Many insurance providers also require solar panels to be cleaned frequently. This ensures their optimal performance and safety, furthermore reducing the risk of hotspots.

So in conclusion, why clean solar panels? Solar panels are prone to accumulating dirt. Why is solar panel cleaning important? Solar panel cleaning keeps your warranty in tact, helps your solar panels produce the maximum electricity and importantly, saves you more money in the long-term.
