Benefits of Using us for cleaning solar panels
Clean Solar Panels for Improved Efficiency
Optimal Performance & Consistent Energy Production
Clean panels absorb more sunlight, improving efficiency and energy output. Accumulated dirt and debris can significantly reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches the solar cells, making professional cleaning a wise choice for maintaining high performance.
Regular cleaning ensures that your panels operate at their peak efficiency, providing consistent energy production.
This means you can count on a steady supply of solar power without interruptions caused by dirty panels.
Safety
Risk Mitigation
Cleaning and maintenance can be dangerous: Climbing onto roofs and working with water and cleaning solutions can be scary and you need to be careful.
Proper Equipment
Professionals use specialised equipment and techniques to clean panels safely without causing damage. This ensures that the panels are not scratched or harmed during the cleaning process.
Time and Convenience
Saves Time
Cleaning solar panels can be time-consuming. Professionals can complete the task quickly and efficiently, saving you time and effort that you can spend on other important activities.
Scheduled Maintenance
Ask us about regular maintenance plans. These plans ensure your panels are cleaned at optimal intervals without you having to remember or schedule appointments. This adds a layer of convenience and peace of mind.
Protection and Longevity
Preserve Panel Integrity & Extend Lifespan
Regular professional cleaning helps maintain the physical condition of the panels, preventing build-up that can lead to degradation over time.
Proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of solar panels, ensuring you get the most out of your investment. Clean solar panels are less likely to suffer from wear and tear, contributing to their durability.
Clean Solar Panels for Improved Efficiency
Knowledgeable Technicians: As a professional cleaning company, we are the best at cleaning, but we will also alert you of damaged panels. This assists you with early problem detection, and you need not climb on the roof yourself.
Warranty Compliance
Maintaining Warranties: Some solar panel warranties require regular maintenance and cleaning. What does your warranty agreement say?
Environmental Benefits
Eco-friendly Practices: Professional cleaning services often use eco-friendly cleaning solutions and practices, minimising environmental impact compared to DIY methods that might involve harmful chemicals. This aligns with the eco-friendly ethos of solar energy.
The Cleaning Process
The company uses a multi-step process to ensure thorough and safe cleaning of your solar panels:
1. Assessment
Our cleaning crew will begin by assessing the condition of each panel to be cleaned and identifying how to clean specific areas that may require extra attention, such as heavy dirt accumulation or shading from nearby trees (often where those issues with bird droppings come from).
2. Pre-Cleaning Preparation
Any loose debris on the panels is brushed or blown off using soft brushes or air compressors to avoid scratching the panel surfaces.
3. Cleaning Solution Application
An eco-friendly, non-abrasive cleaning solution is applied to the panels using specialized equipment that ensures even coverage without excess water use.
4. Gentle Scrubbing
For more stubborn dirt and grime, a gentle scrubbing with soft brushes is used to dislodge the particles without damaging the sensitive panel surface.
5. Rinse
Panels are then thoroughly rinsed with deionized water, which prevents mineral deposits from forming, ensuring a streak-free finish.
6. Drying
A final air-drying process is employed to ensure that no water spots are left behind, leaving your panels sparkling clean.
7. Post-Cleaning Inspection
Technicians conduct a thorough inspection of the panels to ensure they are free of any remaining dirt or streaks and that there are no visible signs of damage. The entire process is completed with the utmost care.
Cost to Clean Solar Panels
The cost of professional solar panel cleaning services can vary based on the size and location of your panels. Typically, the cost works out to around R100 per panel. While this may seem like an additional expense, the benefits of improved efficiency, safety, and longevity make it a worthwhile investment.
