Do Your Solar Panels Need Cleaning?

Dirty solar panels can negatively impact their performance and detract from the aesthetic appeal of your home or business. That is where Aquaman Pressure Cleaning can help, we offer exceptional cleaning services to effectively remove dirt, grime, bird droppings and other contaminants that settle on the surface of your solar panels. We provide solar pressure cleaning using the latest equipment with safe and effective products for homes and businesses in Far North Queensland.

Signs Your Solar Panels Need Cleaning

The frequency of cleaning your solar panels depends on various factors such as your location, weather conditions, and the environment around your panels. As a general rule of thumb, it's recommended to clean your solar panels at least once or twice a year. However, if you live in an area with heavy pollution, dust, or frequent bird droppings, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to maintain optimal performance.

Additionally, monitoring your solar panels regularly for any buildup of dirt, debris, or shading from nearby trees or structures can help you determine when cleaning is needed.

1. Reduced Energy Production: If you notice a decrease in the amount of electricity generated by your solar system over time, it could be due to dirt, dust, or debris blocking sunlight from reaching the panels. This is a good indicator that your panels need to be cleaned
2. Visual Inspection: Take a close look at the surface of your solar panels. If you see a layer of dust, bird droppings, leaves, or other debris accumulating on the panels, it's a clear indication that cleaning is required
3. Water Runoff Patterns: After rainfall, observe the runoff patterns on your solar panels. Streaks or patches of dirt left behind indicate areas where cleaning is necessary.
4. Monitoring System Alerts: Some solar systems come with monitoring devices that track energy production. If your monitoring system alerts you to a decrease in efficiency, it may be time to clean your panels.

Benefits of Regular Maintenance Cleaning

Don't allow dirt and debris to jeopardise your solar investment. Even if you don't notice any visible signs of dirt, it's still a good idea to include regular panel cleaning as part of your maintenance schedule to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your solar investment. It's not uncommon for solar panel cleaning to be incorporated when roof pressure washing is required

An added benefit of regular maintenance is any issues can be identified early on, preventing more costly repairs down the line. When you book your solar panel cleaning with Aquaman Pressure Cleaning, rest assured that no detail will be missed. 

1. Increased Efficiency: Dust, dirt, bird droppings, and other debris can accumulate on the surface of solar panels, reducing their efficiency by blocking sunlight. Cleaning them regularly can remove these obstructions, allowing more sunlight to reach the solar cells and maximising energy production.
2. Maximised Energy Output: By keeping your solar panels clean, you ensure they are operating at peak performance, which can lead to higher energy production. This is particularly important in areas with less rainfall or where dust and pollution levels are high.
3. Longevity: Regular cleaning can help extend the lifespan of your solar panels. Accumulated dirt and grime can cause corrosion or other damage over time, potentially reducing the longevity of the panels. By keeping them clean, you protect the panels and ensure they continue to generate clean energy for years to come.
4. Maintaining Warranty: Many solar panel manufacturers recommend regular maintenance, including cleaning, to maintain the warranty coverage. Failure to adhere to these maintenance guidelines could void your warranty, leaving you responsible for any repairs or replacements.
5. Visual Appeal: Clean solar panels look better and can enhance the overall appearance of your property. This is particularly important if you are considering selling your home, as well-maintained solar panels can increase the curb appeal and perceived value of the property.
6. Environmental Impact: Solar energy is already a clean and sustainable energy source, but maximising the efficiency of your solar panels through regular cleaning can further reduce your carbon footprint. By ensuring your panels are operating at their best, you are getting the most out of your investment in renewable energy.
7. Cost Savings: While hiring a professional to clean your solar panels may involve some upfront cost, the increased energy production and extended lifespan of the panels can result in long-term cost savings.
