Professional Solar Panel Cleaning Services
Efficient and Safe Cleaning Process
Our professional solar panel cleaning process ensures a crystal clear result every time, without you having to worry about potential damage to your panels. We do not need to climb onto your roof or use a cherry picker to access the solar panels.
Specialist Equipment and Safety First
Our technicians use specialist equipment such as low pressure water-fed poles and platform ladders. We take health and safety very seriously and have received thorough training and assessment, especially for working at height.
Trusted by Many Satisfied Customers
With an excellent reputation in the solar industry, we have earned the trust of many satisfied customers. Our reliability and professionalism are the cornerstones of our solar panel cleaning services.
Purified Water Cleaning
Our local solar panel cleaners use purified water with extendable poles to clean the panels from the ground. In addition, the solar panels are not damaged during cleaning with a soft brush attachment.
Tailored Cleaning Solutions for Your Panels
In most cases, purified water is sufficient for regular cleaning as it can remove layers of dust and light debris. However, if the solar panels are heavily soiled with stubborn stains or bird droppings, we use an environmentally friendly biodegradable soap solution with surfactants.
Do You Need To Clean Your Solar Panels?
One factor affecting your solar arrays efficiency is its cleanliness, and we can help you remedy this.
Experts, such as The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), agree that dirty solar panels do not produce as much energy to power your home as clean ones, with the loss sometimes as high as 25% in certain areas.
Despite being marketed as self-cleaning, solar panels are not immune to dirt, dust, bird droppings, and soot buildup caused by wind and rain. The dirtier the panels, the lower the power they’ll produce, making it crucial to maintain their cleanliness for optimal performance and financial return on your investment.
How Often Should You Have Your Solar Panels Cleaned?
Companies that install solar modules recommend having PV solar systems professionally cleaned every 6 to 12 months. However, the frequency may vary depending on your area’s air pollution (including smog).
If you live in a coastal area, the natural salts and minerals in the air mean that the panels will need to be cleaned more frequently than if you live in a moorland area.
Investing in solar technology can reduce energy bills for years and potentially bring in additional income from excess solar power production. Dirty solar panels can reduce energy output, which means you could lose money.
Regular solar panel maintenance, such as professional cleaning, can maximise efficiency and ensure you get the most out of your investment.
Best Way To Clean Solar Panels – Deionised Water
Using harsh chemicals, detergents, or high-pressure cleaners to clean the panels can shorten the life of the glass surface and the rubber seals. Pure water is the best method for cleaning solar panels as it helps to preserve the delicate seals for as long as possible while they are exposed to the elements.
Research has shown that ordinary tap and rainwater are ineffective at cleaning solar panels. Detergents, on the other hand, can leave behind a sticky microscopic film that attracts grime and prevents the solar rays from being harnessed efficiently.
Using clean water for cleaning is better for the longevity of your solar panels and is also environmentally friendly. It causes no damage to the panels, frames, or roofing materials and is safe for the environment, animals, and children.
Overall, pure water is the best cleaning method. It is an effective and safe solution that can help extend the life of the panels and maintain their maximum efficiency.
