Having dirty Solar Panels, not only creates an eye sore, but also affects your Solar PV System’s performance. As bird droppings, dust, pollution and tree sap start to cover your panels, sunlight can no longer reach the Solar cells. Essentially, dirty panels have the same impact on a Solar PV System as shading does. If your Solar Panels are on a string array, by having just one Solar Cell covered with dirt will cause an inefficiency that will affect the performance of your entire Solar Panel System. Effecting both your Green Energy Generation and return on investment. By making sure your Solar Panels are clean, your Solar Generation will always be at it’s maximum.
Not only does having clean solar panels help increase your system’s efficiency, but they also look far more attractive! After all who wants dirty, dusty, Solar Panels full of bird dropping sitting on their roof? As we say here at Deege Solar, a Clean Solar Panel is a happy solar panel. Luckily, in the UK because of the high levels of rain, an occasional clean will be all that’s needed.
