How often should I clean my solar panels?
We recommend cleaning your solar panels once or twice a year. More frequent cleaning may be beneficial if you live near dusty roads, the ocean, or areas with trees that drop leaves or sap.
Why do I need to clean my solar panels?
Over time, dirt, dust, pollen, bird droppings, and other debris can build up on your panels, reducing their efficiency. Regular cleaning helps maximize energy production and can help lower your electric bill.
Will cleaning my solar panels improve performance immediately?
Yes. In many cases, homeowners notice improved solar energy production shortly after their panels are professionally cleaned. The amount of improvement depends on how dirty the panels were beforehand.
What happens if I don’t clean my solar panels?
Dirty solar panels can produce less electricity because debris blocks sunlight from reaching the solar cells. Over time, this loss in efficiency can reduce the return on your solar investment.
Doesn’t rain clean solar panels?
Not completely. While rain can wash away some loose dust and dirt, it typically doesn’t remove stubborn grime, pollen, bird droppings, salt residue, or other buildup that accumulates over time.
How much experience do you have?
I have over 20 years of experience working for an environmental company and have been professionally cleaning solar panels since 2011.
