The Falling Efficacy Of Dirty Solar Panels

From the moment solar panels are installed and made active they begin gathering dust, debris falls on them, and as a result their efficacy reduces both quickly and substantially. Some studies show that panels neglected for just a few months lose nearly 7.4 percent of their efficiency. While that may not seem like a lot keep in mind that unused solar energy can be sold back to a utility company by homeowners. Individuals who want to get the most out of their system and eliminate their monthly electric bill will want to keep their solar panels clean so as to ensure optimum performance.

The Bigger The System...

Homeowners utilizing a very small solar power system may not always notice small dips in the performance of their systems though commercial and industrial buildings will notice these dips right away. Following that train of thought, it stands to reason that individuals and businesses utilizing larger solar power systems will want to have their panels cleaned regularly so as to avoid having to pay a bill at the end of each month and in order to sell their unused energy back to their utility company.

The Right Cleaners

You don't typically find "solar panel" cleaners or companies that specialize in cleaning just panels. Instead its much more common to find professional window cleaners who offer the service. Pro window cleaners have experience cleaning many different types of glass and have the knowledge, tools, and experience necessary to clean solar panels properly. Moreover they know how to clean them without damaging them, a huge plus.
