Why Your Solar Panels Need Cleaning?

Routine solar panel cleaning is a requirement for optimizing the energy output of your solar panel system. There’s no doubt that accumulating dust on your solar panels reflects light. A more clean panel stays cooler and converts more sunlight into energy. Think of it as like regular maintenance on your car, having your solar panels clean can make your panels work at their optimum efficiency.

Get Started

How Often to Clean Solar Panels?

For the highest energy output, solar panels should be cleaned every 1-2 years. However, if you live in an area that is frequently covered with clouds or has large amounts of airborne pollutants then your panels may need cleaning more often. To get the full output from your solar panel system, it’s important to schedule routine professional cleaning at least once a year. This will ensure you get the most out of your investment for years to come.

Is it worth getting solar panels cleaned?

If you’re considering installing solar panels on your home, it’s important to understand that routine maintenance can ensure you get the maximum life out of your investment. Routine cleaning will reduce panel efficiency loss and prevent costly repairs down the line. The good news is Spectrum Cleaning and Restoration offers professional solar panel cleaning services at affordable prices throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri .

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time should I spend cleaning panels?

It depends on how dirty your panels are however usually between 10-15 minutes per panel is sufficient enough . Make sure you clean any debris off the frame too. If you have a stainless steel frame make sure you use a stainless steel cleaner . It’s best to avoid using vinegar or anything acidic as this may corrode the frame over time. Be careful when doing this though in case there are any signs of rusting, don’t clean it with any type of cleaner.

How do I know which Solar Panels are dirty?

What happens when panels get too dirty?

If you allow your solar panels to accumulate large amounts of dirt over time, not only will this reduce their efficiency but it could also cause some damage to the sensitive electronic components within the panel itself.

How To Clean Solar Panels Myself?

The best way to clean your panels is with a soft bristle brush and soapy water . This is also the safest method as it doesn’t involve any harsh chemicals that could damage the panel or frame over time. If you’re not comfortable cleaning them yourself then we can do it for you by using our specialist equipment and cleaners at Spectrum Cleaning and Restoration!

How do you clean commercial solar panels?

There are two ways to clean commercial solar panels; by hand or with pressure washers . For larger solar panel arrays it’s best to use a pressure washer as this will ensure you can cover the whole array in less time. Make sure that any debris is removed from the frame before washing though, especially if there are signs of corrosion. The other way to clean them is by hand which should only be used for smaller solar panels but won’t take as long because you won’t have to move around the equipment. If you’re unsure about either method, contact one of our specialist for more information and advice on how to do it yourself safely!

How often should I get my Solar Panels Cleaned?

What Types Of Solar Panels can be Cleaned?

There are two types of solar panels; monocrystalline silicon which is for higher end commercial applications and polycrystalline silicon which is for standard home use. Both of these can be cleaned with a soft bristle brush and soapy water or by using a pressure washer . If you’re not comfortable with cleaning the panels yourself then we offer professional solar panel cleaning services which we recommend if they need to be cleaned urgently or there are just too many for you to clean by yourself.

Can you pressure wash solar panels??

Pressure washing is one of the most popular ways to clean solar panels as it will effectively remove any dirt or residue from your panels surface. We recommend using a pressure washer that has an adjustable spray head so you can hit all parts of the panel no matter how high they are. Make sure that whatever you’re using as a cleaner, isn’t going to damage the electronic components within the panel and will dry off quickly so sunlight can get through to help them recharge.

How do I unblock my Solar Panels?

If your solar panels have started to perform less efficiently over time and there’s some sort of blockage stopping water and debris from running off then it’s best to contact us at Spectrum Cleaning and Restoration for professional help . This could be due to leaves or moss but if there’s a build up of dirt on them then you’ll need to get them professionally cleaned.

What’s wrong with dirty solar panels?

Spectrum Cleaning and Restoration offers Solar Panel Cleaning services that will not only allow you to get the most out of your solar system, but can also prevent potential damage.
Once dirt, dust, bird droppings, and other debris collects on solar panels it can create a layer of film which blocks sunlight from reaching the cells in the solar panel. The result is diminished energy production by up to 25 percent. By removing this residue after heavy accumulations have settled, you will protect your investment and enjoy much higher energy returns for years to come.
Patterns of sedimentation may indicate that there is an issue with water drainage around or near your array that should be addressed to assure long-term operation efficiency. Water pooling on flat-plate photovoltaic (PV) modules can cause serious long-term damage such as permanent staining on I/C and bypass diodes, or more seriously components that have been completely flooded.
The importance of our Solar Panel Cleaning Services:
Spectrum Cleaning and Restoration’s team of professionals uses only the best products and equipment to remove any electrically conductive residue and contaminants from your solar panels. Our custom blended detergents are an effective degreaser with a biodegradable base for safe removal of organic residues like pollen, bird droppings, dust particles, pollutants and industrial fallout. This is important because it means we get everything off your panels while carefully avoiding any to your electrical connections.
In order to ensure your solar panels continue their peak performance, Spectrum has the highest standards when it comes to cleaning. We start by using a mechanical cleaner with a low-pressure sprayer which easily removes grease and grime from the surface of the panel’s glass. Then using a Hi-tech waterless washing system that applies an environmentally safe solution developed specifically for use on Solar PV modules.
The final stage is where we really shine. Using specialized equipment, we remove all traces of any residue or contaminants left behind after the washing process is complete leaving you with a sparkling clean array with maximum efficiency!

Does Rain Cleaning my Solar Panels?

If your solar panels are installed in an area that gets regular rainfall or if you’re blessed enough to live in a particularly clean environment, rain will naturally wash most of the dirt and grime off your system. But for those who don’t experience frequent rain fall, you may need assistance getting them clean.
