Solar Panel Cleaning Wales

Solar panels work by allowing light into the solar cells. The more light that hits a panel, the more power it will generate. Due to the upwards angle of solar panels, they are more prone to bird droppings and a build-up of general dust and dirt that does not wash off with just rain.

Tap water and rain water will not clean solar panels sufficiently to keep them running at maximum efficiency. Using detergents to clean solar panels leaves a sticky microscopic film on the solar panel which actually attracts dirt and grime.

How Often Should You Have Your Solar Panels Cleaned?

It is recommended by solar panel installers that you should have your solar panels cleaned by a professional solar panel cleaning service every 6 months in rural and coastal areas and every 6-8 months in urban areas.
