Professional Solar Panel Cleaning

Some solar panel manufacturers require regular cleaning to keep the warranty valid. They want to see the documentation that you have had your solar panels cleaned every six months before they will honor the warranty. This is because professional solar panel cleaners prevent dust, dirt, and debris from causing damage to your solar panels. It’s also because professional solar panel cleaners will check for damage caused by animals, birds, or the environment. Solar panel manufacturers want to take care of their customers, but they don’t want to pay for damage that was caused by negligence if you didn’t do proper maintenance and keep your panels clean and checked over.

On their warranties, most manufacturers say that solar panels should be cleaned only with water, not with any sort of chemicals. Some specify that it must be distilled or purified water since tap water can leave a residue. Others do not specify the type of water, as long as you dry or squeegee your panels so that there is no residue left over. Almost all solar panel manufacturers are adamant about the fact that you should never power wash your solar panels. This can cause damage to the delicate coating on the photovoltaic panels.

The most common recommendation on solar panel warranties is to have them professionally checked and cleaned every six months. This keeps them from getting too grimy, which would decrease the amount of electricity they put out. It also helps keep you informed about the status of your solar panels so that if there is any damage you can get it taken care of before it becomes a major problem.
