WHY WOULD I PAY SOLAR CLEANING PROfessionals


Why would I pay solar cleaning professionals?

 



8 Reasons


1. Tools & Expertise


Having the necessary tools and expertise to safely and effectively clean solar panels is vital. Professionals ensure that the panels are properly maintained and functioning at their optimal level. Cleaning solar panels regularly helps to remove dirt, dust, bird droppings, and other debris that can reduce the efficiency of the system. Additionally, it is important to use the right tools and techniques to ensure that the panels are not damaged during the cleaning process.


2. DECREASE BILL


Lower solar system efficiency can result in higher energy bills because the system is not able to produce as much energy as it should. This means that more energy needs to be purchased from the utility company, resulting in higher bills. Additionally, if the solar system is not properly maintained, it can become less efficient over time, further increasing energy bills.


3. SAVE MONEY


Regularly cleaning your panels with a soft cloth or brush can help remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may be blocking the sunlight from reaching the cells. This can ultimately help you identify any potential issues before they become more serious and costly.


4. INCREASE EFFICIENCY


Pollen, dust and dirt will accumulate on your solar panels. This reduces the amount of energy that can be produced by the solar panel, resulting in a decrease in overall efficiency. Additionally, dust and dirt can cause corrosion on the surface of the solar panel, which can further reduce its efficiency.


5. DAMAGE PREVENTION


Debris and other environmental factors can damage solar panels in a variety of ways. Debris such as leaves, dirt, and dust can accumulate on the surface of the panels, blocking sunlight from reaching the cells and reducing their efficiency. Wind-blown debris can also scratch or chip the surface of the panels, reducing their efficiency. Extreme temperatures can also cause the panels to expand and contract, leading to cracks and other damage. In addition, hail and other forms of severe weather can cause physical damage to the panels. Finally, exposure to saltwater or other corrosive substances can corrode the metal components of the panels, reducing their efficiency.


6. FIRE HAZARD RISK


When the dust and dirt accumulate on the panels, they can act as an insulator, trapping the static electricity and creating a spark that can ignite any combustible material nearby. To prevent this from happening, it is important to regularly clean the panels and keep them free of dust and dirt.


7. MAINTENANCE


Cleaning helps remove dirt, dust, and other debris that can accumulate on the panels and obstruct sunlight from reaching them. This can reduce the amount of energy produced by the system and cause it to run less efficiently. Additionally, cleaning can help prevent the buildup of corrosion and other damage that can occur over time, which can reduce the need for costly repairs or replacements.


8. TIME & EFFORT


Regularly inspect and clean your solar system: Regularly inspecting and cleaning your solar system is one of the most important steps to ensure it runs efficiently. This includes checking for any damage or debris that may be blocking the panels, as well as ensuring all connections are secure.
