1. Warranty

There are solar panel installation companies and manufacturers that have included the necessity to clean the solar panels to maintain their warranty. This means that you will need to provide proof of regular solar panel cleaning by a local professional cleaning company if you are experiencing any issues with the panels to be covered by the warranty.

2. Rainwater Won’t Clean your Solar Panels

Unlike what many people think, rain isn’t a satisfying way to clean the solar panels. This is because it contains airborne dust particles that attach to the surface of the solar panels right after the rainwater evaporates. As a result, grime accumulates and forms a film of dirt, which, in turns, reduces the light getting into the solar panels and decreases your financial burden.

3. Infrared service will Help Catch any Issues at Birth or going down the road.

A shorted cell can impact productivity if not addressed in a timely manner. Production defects in semiconducting material often go undetected before PV cells are put into solar panel assemblies. Identifying these defects through testing, via infrared imaging, has been used for more than a decade. This efficient, cost-effective test and measurement methods for characterizing a cell’s performance and its electronic structure help ensure maximum energy production.

4. To Maintain Maximum Solar Panel Efficiency

Accumulated filth reduces the energy produced by the solar panels. The energy loss is dependent on the level of grime gathered there and can reach 25%-30%, especially if you have never cleaned your system. During a groundbreaking experiment conducted by Google at their own solar farm (1.6 MW) in Mountain View, it became apparent that cleaning their solar panels yearly had doubled their electricity output.

5. Neglected Solar Panels Carry a Risk of Electrocution

If the glass layer that protects the solar cells breaks and water enters into the solar panel, the risk of electrocution is significantly high. You never know what can break that glass unless you frequently go by and check the condition of all the solar panels and clean them regularly. Anything from a bird of prey to a tennis ball and vandalism can cause problems, possibly causing the glass of your solar panels to crack or break. Another avenue for electrocution is birds that peck at wires, which is just another reason why you should not leave your solar panels neglected.

De-ionised Water

We only use de-ionised water in all our cleaning operations. Our water filters remove harmful impurities that can affect the efficiency of your solar panels. Calcium in untreated tap water can leave residue on panels, impurities could harm the coating on the panels. Many manufacturers state that their panels must be cleaned with de-ionised water to avoid any warranty. Our water purification filters remove these risks and allow us to clean solar panels to the highest quality.
