Cleaning Services
Want to keep your solar panels shining bright?
Your photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system is a significant investment, and it’s crucial to keep it operating at peak efficiency. Over time, pollution, leaves, traffic dust, and even bird droppings can accumulate on your solar panels, obstructing their exposure to sunlight and reducing the amount of electricity they generate. This can lead to efficiency losses as high as 25% to 30% in some areas!
Why do I need to clean my solar panels?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. When dirt accumulates on the surface of a solar panel, it compromises the amount of light absorbed and, as a result, the efficiency of the panel is reduced. In addition, rainwater contains airborne dust particles that settle on the surface after the water evaporates, sometimes leaving calcium and hard water deposits.
Whereas soft shading encompasses shading that moves, such as from a tree branch or chimney, hard shading does not move. Hard shading comprises matter such as lichen, bird droppings, or any other object resting on the panels. If your panels are not professionally cleaned regularly, these hard shadings can cause hot spots, leading to cell overheating, back sheet damage, and reduced efficiency of the overall panel.
By regularly cleaning your solar panels, particles such as dust, debris, bird droppings, lichen, and bugs, which can otherwise decrease efficiency by 15-30%, are removed from the surface of the panels.
Why choose us?
This mobile, water-driven brush roller system is designed for cleaning and maintaining photovoltaic systems. It uses mineral-free (demineralized) water for professional cleaning, typically without the need for additional chemicals. The high-pressure cleaner powers the rotation of the SOLA-TECS W, supplying water to the brush roller, which effectively cleans the PV system.
Our teams are also fully equipped with the relevant training to execute the cleaning service.
