Regular cleaning is crucial because dirt, dust, pollen, and other debris can accumulate on your solar panels, obstructing sunlight and reducing their efficiency and power output. Clean panels ensure maximum absorption of sunlight, thereby optimizing energy production.

The frequency of cleaning and servicing can vary based on your location, the amount of dust and debris in the environment, and the specific manufacturer’s recommendations. Generally, it’s advisable to have your solar panels cleaned and inspected at least once a year to ensure optimal performance.

A standard cleaning involves removing debris and cleaning the panels with appropriate solvents that do not damage the solar cells. Servicing might include checking and tightening of electrical connections, inspecting mounting systems for integrity, updating software, and general maintenance checks on inverters and other components.

While it is possible to clean solar panels yourself, it is recommended to have professional cleaning to avoid damage to the panels or potential safety hazards, especially for panels installed in hard-to-reach areas. Professionals use the right tools and have the expertise to identify issues that may not be apparent to the untrained eye.
