Should I get my solar system cleaned?
Absolutely. Regular cleaning of your solar system ensures it operates at maximum efficiency by removing dirt, dust, and other obstructions that can block sunlight. This not only improves energy production but also extends the lifespan of your panels.
While you can, it's not recommended. Solar panel cleaning requires specific techniques and safety measures to avoid damage to the panels or yourself. Professional cleaning ensures the job is done safely and effectively, without risking harm or voiding warranties.
For safety and efficiency, we recommend contacting professionals like us. If you choose to do light maintenance, you can gently rinse your panels with a garden hose early in the morning or late in the evening. Avoid using high-pressure water systems, as they can damage the panels.
It varies based on your location and environment, but generally, cleaning your solar system at least once a year is recommended. In areas with heavy dust or bird activity, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to maintain optimal performance.
No, we do not use harsh chemicals. Our cleaning process utilizes deionized water and eco-friendly, solar-safe cleaning solutions. This method ensures a thorough clean without risking damage to your panels or the environment.
Several benefits include:
Increased Efficiency: Clean panels generate more electricity than dirty ones.
Extended Panel Life: Regular cleaning prevents damage and wear, prolonging your system's lifespan.
Higher Savings: More efficient panels mean more savings on your energy bill.
Warranty Preservation: Some manufacturers require regular cleaning as part of the warranty conditions.
