    Should You Get Your Solar Panels Cleaned?: A Guide

    It is important to keep our solar panels in good condition to continue to be effective in providing energy to our homes or businesses. Regular maintenance and cleaning will help keep our solar panels running smoothly, ensure they are free of any risks, and allow them to continue to produce energy efficiently for a long time.

    This article explains the different aspects of taking care of solar panels. It talks about what types of dirt and grime can accumulate on the panels, how to clean them properly, and when it’s important to hire a professional to help with maintenance.

    How Dirty Do Your Solar Panels Get?

    Solar panels can get quite dirty over time, depending on the environment in which they are installed. Dust, pollen, bird droppings and other debris can accumulate on the panels, reducing their efficiency and ability to generate energy.

    In addition, dirt and grime can also block the panels from receiving sunlight. This can lead to a decrease in the amount of energy they can produce.

    How Can Dust Affect Solar Panel Performance?

    Dust and dirt can reduce the efficiency of solar panels by blocking sunlight and preventing them from generating as much energy as they should. This is because the dust and dirt absorb some sunlight that should be hitting the solar cells. As a result, the solar cells will not be able to generate as much energy as they should be able to.

    In addition, dirt and dust can also cause the solar cells to overheat, which can lead to a decrease in their efficiency. This can lead to a decrease in the amount of energy the solar panels can generate.

    Dirt and dust can also cause corrosion to the solar cells, which can reduce their lifespan. This can lead to a decrease in the amount of energy the solar panels can generate over time.

    How Can Bird Droppings Affect Solar Panel Performance?

    Bird droppings can have a negative impact on solar panel performance. Bird droppings can accumulate on the surface of the solar panels, blocking the sun’s rays from reaching the solar cells and reducing their efficiency of the solar panels. Bird droppings can also corrode the solar cells, which can reduce the lifespan of the solar panels. 

    Placing trees close to solar panels may bring about unwanted consequences. Leaves, branches, and bird droppings can accumulate on the panels, necessitating regular cleaning and bird proofing to ensure safety. To prevent this, it is best to avoid planting trees in the vicinity of these panels.

    When Should You Call In Professional Cleaners?

    If you notice a significant decrease in the performance of your solar panels, it is best to call in a professional to inspect the panels and determine the cause. 

    Professional cleaners can use specialized equipment to safely remove any dust or droppings without damaging the solar panel. They can also apply protective coatings to the panels to reduce any issues in the future.

    Conclusion

    Solar panels are an excellent way to reduce your energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint. However, it is important to keep an eye on your solar panels and call in professionals when necessary. 

    If you want to make sure your solar panels are working properly, call on Ryak Cleaning & Support Services Belfast for help. We offer dedicated solar panel cleaning services to keep your panels at their full potential. Get in touch with us today to get started.
