Solar Panel Cleaning

Solar panel cleaning is the most common maintenance performed on residential photovoltaic (PV) energy systems, especially those in dry or windy areas.  When dirt, dust, debris, or animal droppings accumulate on the surface of your solar panels, blocked sunlight can significantly reduce their energy production. Knowing this, regular solar panel cleaning can help ensure the maximum output efficiency of your solar power system.

If your solar panels are installed on your roof, consider hiring a professional when it is time for a cleaning. Hiring a professional can ensure the job is done both safely and effectively, with the least personal and financial risk involved.

When arrays are within reach, you use a soft, non-abrasive brush and soapy water to clean your system, in the same way you would clean your car or RV, safely wiping away any debris without scratching the surface of the panels. Today, there are many solar panel cleaning brushes for sale designed intentionally to make the process as easy as possible for homeowners performing system maintenance.
