We have carried out solar panel cleaning on commercial buildings all over the Mid North Coast. Solar panels are an expensive investment and it is essential to ensure they are cleaned by insured and trained professionals.
The money saving benefit for your business that comes from keeping your solar panels clean makes a regular cleaning schedule a no-brainer. Increasing the power output and efficiency of your solar system by up to 20% or more in heavy soil areas, near the beach, a dusty area or air traffic paths, can greatly impact your energy bill savings.
If you own a commercial property with solar panels, you will no doubt be interested in getting the maximum performace from your system and seeing your return on investment (ROI) as soon as possible. Solar panel cleaning will help you to do just that. Having dirty solar panels can severely dent your ROI timeline. By having clean solar panels, more light hits the solar cells meaning more generation which in turn means greater money saving benefits, sooner.
Looking at your windscreen after it rains on the Mid North Coast makes it instantly obvious why you can’t depend on rainwater to keep your solar panels clean. If you didn’t wash your windshield for 6 months, even in sunny Australia, how much visibility would you lose?
If you leave your car in your driveway, the grime that accumulates will eventually “green over” as algae begin to set up shop! Even if the car is rained on, the rain contains airborne dust particles that settle and attach to the surface after the rainwater evaporates, and on the Mid North Coast calcium and hard water deposits.
When using our windscreen wipers, we clean the centre of the windscreen, but where the wipers do not reach, there is a film of dirt. Your entire solar panel is in exactly the same condition as the edge of your windscreen because they are both exposed to the same elements. Visibility through your windscreen is lost due to the loss of light. The same principles hold true for solar panel cleaning.
