Benefits of Cleaning Solar Panels

What a great investment you made. Installing solar panels on your home. You will be benefiting big in the future. But did you know that there is some maintenance needed to keep your return on investment? Cleaning your solar panels is important in so many ways. Let us discuss the benefits.

Warranty

Did you read through your warranty? Well, you might want to. Many companies, as part of their warranty, require proof of regular cleanings. If you don’t keep the panels clean you may be out of luck if something goes wrong.

Efficiency

Like the windows in your home or your car. They get dirty. Dust and dirt are in the atmosphere. It collects on the solar panels and forms a film. This must be cleaned off for the panels to run efficiently. Experts find that performance and efficiency are compromised. The sun needs a clean surface to penetrate. Having your panels cleaned regularly will help with efficiency.

Inspection Needed

When you have Guardian come by to clean the solar panels we will inspect for any issues that you may have. We will be on the roof. It is better to know early than too late. This way any repairs can take place, avoiding expensive repairs later.

Durability

Wear and tear takes place on every surface without cleaning. Your solar panels are no exception. If sand and grime continue to stay on your panels it breaks down the durability. Over time the solar panels become worn down because of the debris that is collected on them.

What Causes a Dirty Solar Panel?

• Rain – Water can seep into and between the panels and cause rust and corrosion. This can cause damage to the panels and cells. This can prevent electricity from flowing through the panels.
• Debris – Leaves, animals on the roof, and plants can cause blockage of electricity to the panels.
• Dust – Dust can build up on and around the panels. If not cleaned out regularly can cause damage to the panels as well.
