Solar Panel Cleaning
Why is solar panel cleaning important?
Photovoltaic solar systems are a huge investment. Just like your car needs maintenance every few thousand miles, your solar system needs to be maintained to keep it performing at its best. Dirt, bird droppings, pollen, and dust cause decreased efficiency of your panels. Cleaning and inspection on a regular basis ensures that you are maximizing your investment and generating as much electricity as possible.
Clean panels last longer. Chemical reactions with contaminants on the solar panel glass can cause permanent etching. The etching allows more contaminants to collect on the glass and eventually destroy the panel. Keeping your panels clean will ensure years of service out of your system.
Clean panels produce more solar electricity. More solar electricity means less fossil fuel fired power plants online and less CO2 emissions, which is good for the planet. Clean panels clean the planet.
