Solar Panel Cleaning

Solar Panel Cleaning

Why is Solar Panel Cleaning Important?

Solar panels generate electricity by converting sunlight into electricity. The more sunlight that hits a panel, the more electricity it will generate. However, dust, dirt, and debris can build up on solar panels, reducing the amount of sunlight that they can absorb. This can lead to a significant decrease in the amount of electricity that the panels generate.

A study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that solar panels can lose up to 35% of their efficiency due to dust accumulation. This means that a solar panel that generates 100 watts of electricity when clean could generate as little as 65 watts of electricity when dirty.

Regular cleaning of solar panels is essential to maintaining their efficiency and output. There are two main methods of solar panel cleaning: manual cleaning and robotic cleaning. Manual cleaning involves using a soft brush or cloth to remove dust and debris from the panels. Robotic cleaning uses a robotic arm to clean the panels more efficiently.

Spick and Span offers both manual and robotic solar panel cleaning services. We have a team of experienced professionals who can clean your solar panels safely and effectively. We also offer annual maintenance contracts, so you can be sure that your solar panels are always clean and operating at peak efficiency.
