Solar Panel Cleaning
Professional Solar Cleaning
Sparkley Kleen’s solar panel cleaning service is guaranteed to get the maximum performance out of your panels. Solar panels are commonly covered by a thin film of glass for protection of the solar cells, which over time becomes dirty and covered with traffic pollution, dirt and bird muck. This layer of dirt gradually builds and obstructs the sunlight reaching the cells of the solar panels, which in turn results in a decline in efficiency. The more dirt that builds up, the more the solar cells are obstructed from sunlight and the less efficient the solar panels will be.
The financial Impact of Solar Panel Ignorance
The loss of energy caused by dirty solar panels can be as high as 30% so regular solar panel cleaning is extremely important to maximize their efficiency and useful life. Traffic dust, pollution and even bird droppings can affect the amount of sunlight that your panels will receive and the output of electricity that they will produce, the more dirt, the lower the productivity. Obviously this can play a big part towards how much you will save on electricity each year. The financial impact of clean solar panels is immediate, the more electricity produced by the panels the less your energy provider will bill you.
How We Can Help
Cleaning of your solar panels is a relatively straightforward task, but it has to be done with care and the correct equipment. We use our hot water systems, pure water and telescopic poles for solar panel cleaning which effectively removes the dirt and enables them to work at their peak performance. Hot water softens the baked-on bird poo, moss and algae and enables safe removal, without damaging the surface of the panels. Rain or simply spraying your panels with water from a garden hose will not effectively clean your panels as they are exposed to the harsh outdoor elements.
How Do I Tell If My Panels Need Cleaning?
It’s sometimes hard to tell if your solar panels are in need of cleaning from ground level looking up and you can’t always see the layer of dust and pollution that has covered the panels. It’s always advisable to take regular readings, so that you can monitor when the performance drops, so you know that it’s time to have your solar panels cleaned.
Solar Panel Maintenance
How often you have your solar panels cleaned depends on a few factors, for example if you live downwind of a motorway, main road, factories or agricultural land. It’s always good practice to book your solar panel cleaning in on a regular basis to avoid any losses. Our solar panel cleaning cost is £6 per panel with a minimum charge of £45 and is proven value for money given the overall saving you make from the efficiency of the panel.
