Solar panel cleaning might not be an everyday task, but when the time comes, it must be done very carefully. This is because not all cleaning methods have the same impact on every system. That’s why you need a certified and qualified Solar company to clean and inspect your system. We have listed the red flags of solar panel cleaning and how a professional solar panel cleaners can make a difference.
Common mistakes in solar panel cleaning
1/ Using abrasive materials
Solar panels are built differently and more prone to scratches than regular glass windows. Once your surfaces have been scratched, it will start to reduce its efficiency.
2/ Cleaning with harsh chemicals
Many regular soaps and other types of hard water contain different chemicals that can damage your solar panels. These chemicals may also leave residues, which can cause corrosion and preventing your output from achieving its optimal condition.
3/ Ignoring regular maintenance
While it is crucial to clean your panels, skipping routine inspections can miss potential issues that also leads to more damage.
4/ DIY cleaning
While the do-it-yourself process seems easier and cheaper, you should not ignore its risks including:
- Damaged panels
- Permanent stains
- The dangers of working at heights
- High electrical risk
- Site incidents
Expert solar panel cleaners can save you from these problems as they are trained and equipped with the right materials.
