Clean Solar Panels Will Generate More Energy
Solar panels are prone to bird droppings and general dirt. Over time, debris builds up and blocks light from penetrating the panels, resulting in reduced output.
Manufacturers and installers base projected energy figures on the optimum performance of clean solar panels; therefore, any surface debris impedes their ability to meet these project figures. All this means is that by ignoring solar panel cleaning, homeowners can miss out on making the most of the government feed-in tariff and fail to reach the energy figures promised at installation. Furthermore, if left untreated, bird droppings and dirt could cause damage resulting in costly repairs. Therefore, regular solar panel cleaning is the key to maintaining performance and protecting your investment.
In addition to cleaning, we also offer a bird-proofing service for solar panel roofs.
Maximum Output
Solar panels absorb the rays from the sun and convert them into energy. Therefore, the more light the panels absorb, the more energy the panels create. Dirty panels block out light, reducing energy efficiency. Professional solar panel cleaning minimises the build-up of dirt, bird droppings, and rainwater residue, increasing the power supply to your home. Therefore, keeping the panels on your roof clean will increase the energy supply directly into your home and save you money.
The Myth – “solar panels are self-cleaning and maintenance free.”
Solar panels marketed as “self-cleaning” have a hydrophobic surface that prevents water droplets from sticking to them. While this is a beneficial feature, it does not equate to maintenance-free upkeep of the panel.
Rainwater simply is not enough to keep solar panels clean and running optimally. Just think of your car windscreen – if you were to leave it unwashed for six months, how much visibility would you lose? Grime and debris can cause a film that blocks light from entering the panel, resulting in decreased energy production, and missing out on potential financial returns. The same elements that affect your car’s windscreen are also at work on solar panels. Even though rain cleans the middle of the panel to some degree, dirt accumulates around the edges where wipers do not reach. So even with rainfall, it is essential to clean and maintain solar panels for optimal performance.
