Solar Panel Cleaning

It's a good practice to keep your solar panels clean to ensure they operate efficiently and produce maximum power. Dust, dirt, bird droppings, and other debris can accumulate on the panels over time, reducing their effectiveness. Regular cleaning can help maintain the performance of your solar panel system.

Regular maintenance is crucial for solar panels, much like septic tanks and changing oil in cars. Solar panels operate most efficiently when unobstructed by dust, pollen, or debris. Keeping panels clean ensures maximum sunlight absorption and optimal power output, safeguarding your investment and prolonging system lifespan.

While bi-annual to annual cleanings may work for many residential solar power systems, the cleaning frequency can vary depending on your location, the amount of dust and debris in your area, and other environmental factors. It's a good idea to consult with a sunshine pristine clean service technician to get personalized recommendations based on your specific situation. Signing up for recurring cleaning services can help you stay on top of maintenance and ensure that your solar panels are always performing at their best. Regular cleanings can also extend the lifespan of your solar panels and help prevent potential issues.

A customer's actual solar panel cleaning comparison before/after solar panel cleaning. You will see in a "peak summer" month of July/Aug, the customer collected 705kw and was averaging roughly 25kw a day. The solar panels were cleaned at the end of Aug and jumped to 55kw a day with a 1.29 mwh the following month of September, despite it being post summer and leading into the fall. Although results can vary, Sunshine Pristine Clean strongly suggest having your panels cleaned if you feel your solar production is not what it used to be.
