Why is cleaning your solar panels important?
Clean solar panels are essential for maintaining the optimal performance and efficiency of your solar energy system. Over time, various environmental factors can lead to the accumulation of dirt, dust, pollen, bird droppings, and other pollutants on the surface of your solar panels. This build up can have several negative effects:
- Reduced Efficiency: Dirt and debris can block sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic cells on your solar panels, which can lead to a decrease in energy production. Even a thin layer of dirt can cause up to a 25% drop in overall efficiency.
- Lower Energy Savings: When your solar panels are not generating as much electricity as they should, you may experience lower energy savings on your utility bills than you would if they were clean.
- Shortened Lifespan: The accumulation of debris can contribute to wear and tear on the panels, potentially shortening their lifespan and requiring more frequent maintenance or replacement.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
As a general guideline, it is recommended to have your solar panels professionally cleaned at least once or twice a year. However, a visual inspection every few months to check for significant buildup or damage is also advisable. If you notice a significant decrease in energy production or the panels appear visibly dirty, it’s a good indication that it’s time for a cleaning service.

In general, it is recommended that you have your solar panels professionally cleaned at least once a year.

For safety, it’s recommended to turn off the system during cleaning. This is to avoid the risk of electrocution.
