Here at Pure Water Window Cleaning we aim to provide a number of services for our residential and commercial customers including a reliable, value for money, solar panel cleaning service.
A car that’s well-oiled and serviced runs better, so it comes as no surprise that solar panels do their job more efficiently when they’re given the same level of attention.
Keeping solar panels clean, including those marketed as “self-cleaning” solar panels is vital to maintaining peak efficiency and maximum power conversion. Clean solar panels may operate up to 50% more efficiently, which makes sense doesn’t it, as there is no barrier between the sun and the solar panel.
While natural rainfall will certainly help in washing away everyday dust and dirt that land on your solar panels, rainwater alone won’t clean your solar panels to the extent needed if you want your solar panels working at peak efficiency, just as hosing down a dirty car won’t result in the best clean. Bird droppings are enemy number 1 when it comes to your solar panels and it’s unlikely rainwater alone will remove these.
Beyond regular basic debris removal, it is recommended by most Solar Panel experts that you give your solar panels a thorough cleaning at least once a year.
An annual clean has been found to improve energy output by as much as 12% when compared to panels that were only cleaned by rainfall. If you are able to bump it up to twice a year, even better!
The more frequently you have your solar panels cleaned, the more energy they will provide. The more money you will save!
In the UK, one of the best times to clean your solar panels is just prior to the onset of Spring. This means that as the days get longer and we enjoy more sunlight hours per day, your clean solar panels are ready to cash in on all that sunlight, producing as much electricity as possible.
Solar panels can be cleaned at any time of the year of course, so keep an eye on your solar panels. If dust, dirt, bird droppings and leaves for example are collecting on them, please give us a call.
Otherwise, another ideal time to book your solar panel clean is just prior to the onset of Winter. During the shorter days of Winter, it’s important that your solar panels are able to maximise all sunlight available, so clean solar panels going in to Winter are vital to achieve this.
Always check with your solar panel manufacturer to see if your particular panels can be cleaned without breaking or having any impact on your warranty. If you are going to clean your solar panels yourself, be sure not to use any abrasive tools or products. DIYers beware – there is always a risk of electric shock. Avoid using soap or detergents to clean your solar panels. Use only low water pressure when cleaning your solar panels. Be sure to avoid using hard water to clean your solar panels. Pure Water is recommended.Solar Panels are usually installed on a roof, which makes absolute sense, but it can also make cleaning these solar panels a difficult and potentially dangerous DIY job if you don’t have the proper equipment. So that’s where we at Pure Water Window Cleaning come in.
We use the latest, environmentally friendly, reach-and-wash Pure-Water cleaning system, which ensures gentle and safe cleaning results for your solar panels.
Our extendable poles with specially designed brush heads allow us to clean your solar panels effectively but also safely, as all cleaning takes place from the safety of the ground. No ladders are necessary.
Pure Water reach and wash systems like ours are the recommended cleaning method by solar panel providers around the globe.
California-based solar panel installer and maintenance provider ‘Bland Company’ never uses a cleaning agent on solar panels, instead relying on deionized water and a rotating-brush system to wash solar panels.
“Soaps can leave a film or residue that not only shades panels like the dirt that was just washed off, but it can also encourage dirt to stick and build up faster,” said Daniel Green, Bland marketing director. “We use deionized water that is applied through our rotating-brush system. This is the best way to leave the solar panels with a spot-free shine that’s as beautiful as the first day they were installed.”
We provide all of our own purified water, transporting it to your home or business premises in tanks in our vans, which means there will be absolutely no impact on any of your utility bills. The price you pay for our solar panel cleaning service is all it will cost for your solar panels to work at peak efficiency.
We pride ourselves on offering a reasonable and reliable cleaning service. We can provide the most competitive quote, as your home or business will be cleaned whilst we are working in your area.
