The importance of keeping your solar panels clean

Choosing to install solar panels at your home or business is a big decision. Once you’ve made that decision, you want your panels to work at optimum levels year-round in order to conserve as much energy and save as much money as possible. The best way to do so is to make sure that your solar panels remain clean.

Keeping your solar panels clean has little to do with how they look and everything to do with how they function. Living in the desert as we do, our solar panels are especially susceptible to the dust that surrounds us. It doesn’t take long at all for solar panels to become coated with dirt and sand. When they do, their ability to collect sunlight is hindered and their efficiency and output take a significant hit.

How badly can the efficiency of a dirty solar panel be affected? Consider the following:

  • The Solar Energy Power Association notes that dirty solar panels can lose 20% of their energy output
  • The National Renewable Energy Laboratory puts that same figure even at 25%.
  • Recent studies have determined dirty solar panel can lose as much as 50% of it’s efficiency compared to a clean solar panel

We want you to get the most from your solar panels, and our Solar Panel Cleaning Systems make it easy to keep your panels in optimum working order. These systems are easily installed and programmable. Once they are installed and programmed, the only thing required of you is refilling the soap concentrate and replacing the filter from time to time. What could be easier?

We think you’ll find our solar panel cleaning systems to be very affordable. Furthermore, they are an investment that will pay for themselves over time in terms of the decreased energy costs you’ll enjoy as a result of your system running at its best. Protect the investment you’ve made in solar panels, and ensure a system operating at peak efficiency and providing maximum amounts of energy simply by keeping your panels clean.
