Zero-waste, pollution-free concepts are the norm in today’s world. Everybody wants to make the world cleaner and greener. Switching from fossil fuels like coal to renewables like solar energy will help everyone achieve their vision. Solar energy is a great option, especially considering the affordability and endlessness of solar panels. It is only possible to reap the benefits of solar energy and equipment with the proper cleaning procedure. Solar energy production is not possible without solar panel cleaning. Solar energy will only be available if the PV system is operating efficiently. Continue reading to learn why and when to clean solar equipment.
Why is solar panel cleaning important?
Solar panel cleaning involves the washing of PV panels. Dust, smog, and dirt can block sunlight depending on where you live. This will either reduce the efficiency of the equipment or block energy generation. Buying a kit with multiple pieces of equipment may not work because the cleaning is inadequate. Proper solar panel cleaning is the best way to avoid these problems and save time and money.
When should solar panels be cleaned?
Solar panels should be cleaned, on average, once per year. Although a yearly inspection is ideal, an annual review within your contract with Nevada Solar Group could help you maintain your solar panels, depending on where you live and the weather conditions. Solar panels should be cleaned at the end of winter. This is because the output of solar panels increases with the return sun. It is safer to clean panels at night to avoid touching hot panels.
How is solar panel cleaning done?
You will need warm water, a soft cloth, dish soap, and a squeegee to clean the panels. Clean the panels with warm water and dish soap using a soft, lint-free cloth. After that, squeeze the soft towel into the squeegee to remove the dirty water. Repeat the process until your solar panels are cleaned. It’s as easy as pie!
Final Note
Solar panels, the equipment that produces solar energy – a popular renewable power source – must be appropriately maintained to function efficiently and last a long time. It may sound difficult, but all you have to do is clean your solar panels now and then. When done correctly and using the correct techniques, the equipment will not only provide solar power for many years, but it won’t need any professional maintenance. Take good care of your panels; you can enjoy them as long as possible.
