Do your solar panels need a clean?
Unclean panels run the risk of producing less electricity and thereby reducing the profitability of the installation. As a matter of fact, many solar panel owners ignore the importance of cleaning their solar panels regularly. As a result, the performance of the entire solar panel system will be decreased because of the repelling layer of grime on them. So, periodic solar panel cleaning is extremely significant to get the maximum results and hence reduce the electricity bills.
In fact, some geographic locations and climates require frequent cleaning. So, the best advice in this regard is to monitor the power output changes in your solar system. The following points will help you in assessing whether an urgent clean of your solar panel system is needed or not:
- The meter reading is the gold standard to evaluate if the cleaning is warranted.
- A cursory visual inspection from the ground; dull and less shiny look, including dirt and build up of pollen / environmental dust, animal detritus and fallen leaves and twigs.
- The place, positioning and angle of the solar panels largely contribute to the build up on the solar panel surface. Run off from roof and gutter, water can drastically soil a solar panels surface.
- Local building work can add to the detritus on your solar panels.

What are the things to avoid when cleaning solar panels?
- Cleaning in the heat of the day of service, without the correct techniques, practices and equipment can seriously risk solar panels cracking.
- Using cleaning cloths that can leave microfibers which are potential arc points for fires to start.
- Using rainwater tank as the water is full of sediment, silt, and in sometimes decaying animals.
- Applying abrasive products and detergents can scratch the glass of the panels and leave them streaked.
