Solar panels cleaning is essential, each day some power is lost due to dust, debris, bird droppings, air pollution and plant materials being baked into the glass and lowering the output that the panels produce. This represents a financial loss for the owner and to the national grid and shows the importance of regular cleaning of solar panels by professional window cleaning companies.

The installation of solar panels comes at great expense but will reduce the cost of your heating and electricity bills, (as long as the solar panels are kept clean). There are many advantages when installing solar panels, the most important being that Solar energy is clean, renewable and sustainable, helping to protect our environment.

No one can tell how much power is lost due to dirty solar panels. Estimates range from 25% to 45% depending on location, weather, panel angle, air pollution, bird droppings, and plant debris.

There was a study done by Google on the effect of professional solar panels cleaning at their facilities, and the output before and after cleaning solar panels. You can see the ‘Solar Panels Cleaning’ study here. It is safe to say that solar panels cleaning is essential for maximum output. But what is the best way to conduct solar panel cleaning you may ask?

The best way for cleaning solar panels is to use water that has passed through a de-ionisation process which leaves the water in a pure state. The nature of pure water (pure water window cleaning) is to strive to return to its former impure state by actively absorbing all dirt, chemicals and minerals giving the glass solar panels a spot free finish.

Cleaning solar panels is the same as it is for window cleaning. Soft filament window cleaning brushes attached to the water fed window cleaning poles are used to help remove the baked in stubborn stains while ensuring that the glass protecting the photovoltaic cells aren’t damaged or scratched in any way. Using pure water window cleaning techniques with de-ionised water for cleaning solar panels is essential as ordinary tap water is full of chemicals and minerals and will leave streaks and white deposits on the glass reducing the solar panels output.
