Having dirty solar panels causes the panels to be less efficient. This means they will not be working as flawlessly as they’re made to work due to the dirt and debris getting stuck on them. This is important because if you have solar panels installed for your home, you want them to work as best as they can. How often should solar panels be cleaned to keep their efficiency?
Recommended to have them cleaned every 6 months
Whenever it looks like there is a build-up of dirt and debris on the panels
At least every year
Frank from Needham, Massachusetts experienced dirty solar panels due to bird droppings. They live near a busy road with many buildings surrounding them. Birds like to sit on top of buildings, including theirs and they create bird droppings on their roof. Frank realized that they needed to have their solar panels cleaned because he noticed the panels had a lot of bird droppings over them and learned recently how important it was to have them cleaned to make sure they’re as efficient as can be. He called HiCleaners for solar panel cleaning after visiting our website and seeing that we provide solar panel cleaning, one of our newest services! HiCleaners technicians came out to clean each panel rigorously and carefully, making sure not to cause any damage to them. The technicians suggested that Frank have his solar panels cleaned every 6 months instead of once a year because of the frequency birds tend to go to his roof with the solar panels. Having them cleaned this frequently will help make sure the droppings don’t cover too much of the solar panels to help make them more efficient. Once the panels were cleaned, Frank was so happy with the service.
