Clean solar panels work more efficiently.
In the desire for sustainable living and lowering energy costs, many Northern Beaches households and businesses are installing solar panels and energy efficient hot water systems.
These environmentally friendly systems use the power of the sun to provide hot water while reducing carbon emissions. However, over time, solar panels can accumulate dirt, dust, pollution, and debris which can reduce their efficiency and lifespan.
Regular maintenance and solar panel cleaning you can restore their performance.
Before solar panel cleaning
The rooftop Solahart hot water system at a customer’s home demonstrates how dirty rooftop solar panels can become. Covered in dirt, debris, and lichens, the panels were certainly not performing at their best, reducing the system’s ability to effectively absorb the sun’s energy and heat the water.
Why solar panel cleaning is essential
Solar collectors on your roof are exposed to the elements all year round. This exposure causes dirt, pollen, leaves, and other debris to accumulate, forming a barrier that prevents sunlight from reaching the panel surface. As a result, the system’s ability to absorb solar energy decreases, which lowers its overall efficiency.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial to ensure optimal performance and to maximise energy savings.
Note: While we clean your solar panels, we can also inspect them for any damage and report issues to you. In many cases, we can carry out repairs on the spot, preventing inconvenient breakdowns or costly replacements due to irreparable damage.
After solar panel cleaning
Once the solar collectors are cleaned of dirt, dust, and lichens, they operate at peak efficiency. Regular cleaning not only boosts performance but also extends the lifespan of your solar panels.
