FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SOLAR PANEL CLEANING​


​Q:  “WHY DO I NEED TO CLEAN MY SOLAR PANELS?”
​

A:    “Having clean solar panels is imperative to gain the full efficiency of your entire system. Common debris in Santa Cruz, such as DUST, DIRT, POLLEN, BIRD DROPPINGS, SALT SPRAY AND MINERAL DEPOSITS produce solar clouding which cause your solar panels to labor harder, become hotter, which will shorten your panel’s lifespan and lower your panel’s efficiency.  So there is the potential loss of power, the need to protect your investment and in some cases, failure to keep panels clean can void the warranty."

Q:  “DOESN’T THE RAIN TAKE CARE OF IT?”
A:   “No, just as rain does not clean your car or boat, rain does not properly clean solar panels. Rain does not effectively remove most forms of debris and in most cases, actually leaves them in worse shape. Bird droppings, dirt, and spots often still reside stifling energy production."

Q:  “CAN I CLEAN THE SOLAR PANELS MYSELF?”
A:   “Do to the complexity and location of most solar panels it is highly recommended that one hires a professional.  Just climbing on a roof is for many a dangerous endeavor, but adding water and extension poles requires technique. Just as you cannot simply hose off a window, making it clean, solar panels must be cleaned properly.

Q:  “HOW MUCH MORE EFFICIENT ARE CLEAN SOLAR PANELS”
A:   “Studies have been shown that a dust layer of one-seventh of an inch per square yard decrease solar power conversion by as much as 30%. In some states dust is deposited every month several times that amount. In order to gain the desired output and maintain maximum performance, clean solar panels are a must."

Q:  “HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE THEM CLEANED?”
A:   “We recommend at least once a year depending on location and the context surrounding your home and solar panels. In the Santa Cruz Mountain area’s twice a year may be recommend.  Estimates are always free and maintenance plans are available."
