The performance of your solar panels can be compromised if it gets dirty. Studies show that a dirty panel may reduce electricity production up to 10% compared to a clean panel. Therefore, you always have to keep your panels clean to make the most out of your investment. Clean panels are more efficient and essential to enhance the overall lifespan of the system.
Why Cleaning Is Important
Solar panels are designed to work by allowing light to enter the solar cells. However, bird poop, pollen, or dust may prevent light from reaching inside the solar cells, which will eventually lead to less energy production. Solar panels can be self-cleaning as rain cleans a big part of the obstructing pollen and dirt. However, it is not as effective as cleaning the panels manually. Therefore, you must manually clean your solar panels at least twice a year. Routine solar panel cleaning will help you to:
- Prevent dust & dirt build-up
- Improve energy efficiency
- Get rid of bird poop
How to Clean Solar Panels?
The best time to clean a solar panel is when it is not hot. For example, you can clean it in the morning or the evening. Cleaning the panel in the mid-day may damage the glass seal or even break the glass because of the high temperatures. Therefore, it is always recommended not to clean the panel when the sun is shining harshly. You can follow the below steps for solar panel cleaning in Dubai or other cities:
- Spray water on every panel to remove debris.
- After that, take a bucket and mix the cleaning solution in it with water.
- Now dip a soft bristle brush in the bucket and scrub the solar panels.
- Carry on this process until you effectively remove all the dirt and dust. It may take some time because bird droppings and sap are not easy to clean.
- Finally, mop the panel until there is no water left.
