Why clean your solar panels?

by Zak Remington Owner/Operator

Liquid Power Pressure Washing and Full Exterior Cleaning Service offers professional solar panel cleaning. In Santa Barbara our rooftops and solar panels collect dirt, debris, salt buildup and other contaminants that can affect optimal performance of solar panels by limiting the amount of sunlight needed to convert light to energy. Google conducted an experiment at their 1.6 MW solar farm in Mountain View, California. They found that cleaning the panels was "the number one way to maximize the energy they produce." The same study determined that rain was not a satisfactory way of cleaning solar panels. Solar panels that had been cleaned by professionals had at least a 12% higher output of electricity compared to those cleaned by rain alone. Furthermore, solar panels that had been in operation for at least 15 months saw the output double by professional cleaning. Maintaining the cleanliness of your solar panels can save you money, preserve your solar panel warranty and protect against corrosive damage from environmental pollutants.
