Washing Service: Professional Solar Panel Cleaning
Unlike Residential window cleaning and commercial window cleaning that can be done by using a pressure washer or house washing, there are many conflicting views about whether or not dirty solar panels need to be cleaned. Some experts claim that the water from rain keeps solar panels clean enough or that dust build-up has a negligible impact on efficiency.
However, recent studies show that the build-up of dust on a residential solar panel can reduce their efficiency by 5% to 20%. Especially every region has different weather patterns and pollutants in the dust. For instance, some areas have little rain and little pollution. Places that don’t get much water from rain or with low rainfall may have more dust build-up and need more solar panel maintenance and solar panel cleaning service.
On the other hand, areas with low pollution and high rainfall may not need solar panel cleaning services at all. However, instead of calculating how much efficiency you’re losing in your region, get solar panel cleaning services when they look dirty. Solar panel cleaning services don’t take that long, and regular solar panel cleaning ensures maximum efficiency.
Regarding regular solar panel cleaning, there are no agreed-upon schedules for cleaning it and its surrounding area. As we have said, solar panels will get dirty at different rates in different regions. At a minimum, you should clean them once a year, regardless of the solar panel cleaning cost. Instead of planning a cleaning interval, regularly check your solar panels for dirt, grime, leaves, and bird droppings. Anytime you have dirty solar panels is when you should call a professional washing service to clean them.
Solar Panel Cleaning Process
There are a few proper ways to clean your solar panels because there are multiple types and types of solar panels, and they are all different. Regardless of the kind of solar panel you have, you should call us, and we will take care of your solar panel cleaning.
What Is A Water Fed Pole System?
The water-fed pole cleaning system utilizes cutting-edge technology. A water-fed pole is a long extendable pole with a brush head. Inside the pole, a pump system dispenses purified water on demand. The water and the brush are all needed to clean dust, dirt, leaves, pollen, and other things from exterior windows. Then the windows are left to dry naturally. That’s all there is to it. It is a revolutionary way to clean hard-to-reach windows, skylights, solar panels, and roof lights.
Safety First
Rooftops are high off the ground, so it is most reasonable to have a professional who will do everything for safety. Ensure that the personnel comes wearing complete Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Climate Variations
The energy production of solar panels is indeed affected by various factors, and this includes variations in weather and climate. On a clear, bright, with proper sunlight, the solar power graph forms a bell curve. The highest energy production typically happens around noon, when the sun is brightest. These are the times when solar panels operate most efficiently.
On the other hand, during cloudy days, solar panels will still work since the sun’s rays still find their way to shine through the clouds and the rain. However, because sunlight is limited, then it follows that energy production is limited as well. The exact quantity of electricity generated during such days is conditional on the density of cloud coverage.
Thus, the solar panel system’s production is not as constant and significantly reduced during cloudy and rainy days. Rainfall can add dirt to the panels, but the dirt is very minimal. The rainfall mainly does the work of rinsing and cleaning your solar panels. When it rains, you benefit from the water falling from the sky because it is doing the work for you.
