Guildford solar panel cleaning
If you have installed solar panels on your property, you are spearheading the push for clean, green renewable energy and is a worthwhile investment in reducing your carbon footprint. It also contributes to a sustainable future for our planet.
Most homeowners invest in solar panel systems to reduce their energy bills and effectively go off-the-grid.
However, your solar panel array depends on staying clean to keep energy efficiency at peak levels. Even though your panels were probably sold to you as self-cleaning and maintenance-free, unfortunately in the real world, this is far from true. To maintain maximum panel performance, call your local Guildford solar panel cleaning professional today.

Regular cleaning increases panel performance
Rain does a fairly good job by keeping the self-cleaning panels clean on angled roofs, but over the course of a year they can foul up, reducing output. The best time of year for solar panel cleaning is between winter and spring. However, solar panel systems generate electricity all year around, so if your solar panels are very dirty, it is worth starting as soon as possible, and then scheduling a yearly clean or more frequent. Also in periods of prolonged drought in summer time, panels can become increasingly dusty and dirty at exactly the time where your panels should be collecting all the sun they can get from morning until evening.
For panels installed on flat roofs or roofs of a less acute angle, the cleaning frequency needs to be much more often as the rain simply cannot wash away surface contaminants.
Every installation is unique and depends on a lot of environmental factors, which dictate cleaning frequency. For instance, panels near farmlands or main roads suffer more than residential area panels. These panels will require more regular cleaning as dirt builds up. Very often bird droppings and lichen can severely reduce output as well.
Modular shading is another issue that arises from long periods of dirt build-up, shading just one cell in the module can reduce the power output of the whole string of cells or modules to zero.
Permanent staining can also occur and can easily be prevented by a regular solar panel cleaning service. Call your local Guildford solar panel cleaning expert today!
Maximize your investment
By cleaning and maintaining your PV system you will effectively off-set the cost of cleaning by keeping the panels working in optimum output and protecting your investment at the same time.
Having dirty solar panels can severely impact your ROI time. Simply by having clean solar panels, more light hits the solar cells which means more generation and subsequently means more money, sooner.
By using the same effective pure water system used for keeping windows clean, I can safely clean solar panels. Using soft brushes with low pressure ultra-high pure water, no pressure is put on the panels. Therefore there is no risk of splitting the seals damaging the mounting system and affecting warranty.
