Why Cleaning Solar Panels Is Important

Dust, dirt, pollen, bird droppings, and other debris can accumulate on solar panels, reducing their ability to absorb sunlight and generate electricity. The less sun that is absorbed by a panel, the less electricity it produces. In fact, studies show that dirty solar panels can lose up to 25% of their efficiency, leading to higher energy bills and reduced system lifespan.

Another study by Sonsuz, O., Adıgüzel, E., Kabaoğlu, R.O., & Ersoy, A. (2020).

The Effect of Pollution on Photovoltaic Panels Under Climate Conditions in Hatay. Erzincan Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Dergisi (Turkey). found that “it has been calculated that cleaning the panels periodically will significantly increase the electricity production in powerful solar power plants.”

CleanTechnica reported an analysis, gathered by the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), that panels lose around 30% if not cleaned properly. A recent study found that ‘due to the accumulation of dust the efficiency of solar modules and panels in terms of power can be reduced up to 60%’.

Most panel manufacturers / suppliers require panels to be professionally cleaned to maintain warranty and regular cleaning helps maintain optimal performance to extend the life of your solar panels.

Increase the lifespan of your solar panels by safeguarding your PV modules.

“Washing your windows is not the same as cleaning PV panels. They need to be handled carefully since they are precisely crafted energy-producing equipment. To safeguard your solar investment, save money, and lengthen the life of your solar electric system, you must use the proper tools.”

How Often Should You Clean Your Solar Panels?

The frequency of cleaning photovoltaic (PV) solar panels depends on several factors, such as your location, climate, and the angle of your panels. In general, it’s recommended to clean PV solar panels at least once or twice a year. However, if you live in a dusty area or experience heavy snowfall, you may need to clean them more frequently. Regular rain periods can help reduce the frequency of cleaning, as rain will naturally remove the build-up of dust, dirt, bird droppings, and other foreign objects on the glass of the panels. Nonetheless, it is essential to monitor your PV solar panels’ performance and cleanliness, as the efficiency of the panels can be significantly affected by even small amounts of accumulated debris.

Best Time to Clean Solar Panels

The ideal time to clean solar panels is early morning or late afternoon when the sun’s rays are less intense. This prevents the risk of the panels becoming too hot, which can make cleaning more difficult and potentially damage the solar cells such as stains occurring from cleaners that have been left to dry on the panels during the hot sun.

A car that’s well-oiled and serviced performs better and for longer. Just as we want our set of wheels free of mud, we like our windows crystal-clear as well. The way we approach solar panels should be no different. By keeping our solar panels at their best, we can expect that they will perform at their optimum, remain free of any safety hazards, and ensure that they continue to provide energy to our home or business for years to come.
