What can you expect from our solar cleaning Melbourne services

SHINING SOLAR PANEL

Over time, unwanted elements like debris, dust, and dirt can build up on your solar panels. Having your solar panels tidied by our BAM solar panel maintenance team will result in glistening-clean panels that are pleasant to look at and are working with maximum efficiency.

PEAK PERFORMANCE OF YOUR SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it to electricity. If your solar panels are dirty, their ability to capture sunlight is limited, and the amount of generated electricity is decreased. Clean solar panels ensure your home or business solar system is operating at top performance. When more electricity is produced by your solar panels, this will result in lower energy bills and more savings. BAM Window Cleaning are experts at solar panel cleaning Melbourne.

Benefits of Solar Panel Cleaning

Why should you have your solar panels cleaned?

According to various statistical observations, having your solar panels washed can result in up to a 21% efficiency increase in homes and up to 60% in commercial properties. No doubt, regular cleaning of your panels can make a huge difference!

A lot of solar panel installation companies and manufacturers specify regular cleaning as one of their warranty conditions. If there is no proof of regular cleaning, your solar panels may not be covered by warranty. We recommend regular cleaning to be on the safe side, in case your panels will have malfunction in the future.

The build-up of sand grains, debris, and dust particles contributes to faster wear and tear if you don’t have your solar panels regularly cleaned. Over time, the efficiency of your panels will decrease and you could risk failure of your equipment much sooner. Having clean panels will increase their durability and lifespan.

Who wants worn-out, dirty-looking panels on their rooftop? As important as cleaning the rest of your home is, taking proper care of your panels and having them regularly cleaned will make your home or business look more appealing to your family, visitors, or employees.

When you have your solar panels cleaned, it’s also the perfect opportunity for an evaluation of their condition. Our BAM team will inspect your panels and report to you any cause for concern.

We all know that solar panels are definitely not cheap. You have spent a significant amount of money to have them, and you want to get ROI (return on investment) as soon as you can. Having your panels cleaned regularly will improve their efficiency, and you get improved ROI. More savings in the long run!

cleaning frequency

How often should your solar panels be cleaned?

It’s a common question. 

Residential solar systems are built to last a long time – around 25-30 years. However, that doesn’t mean your solar panels will clean themselves for the next three decades.

There are people who don’t clean their solar panels because they believe it is “self-cleaning” through rain. The truth is rain is not enough to ensure that your solar panels are free from dirt build-up throughout the year, how much more for several years.

Many solar installers recommend having your solar energy systems washed up to four times every year. This will keep your panels working well throughout their lifespan.

You may have your solar panels washed every 6 months, depending on your location. However, if you notice dust or other obstructions, you might need to have them washed more often. 

Solar investment as with many solar systems, you can track your solar system’s production using an app, which can indicate if your solar panels are ready for cleaning.

You can clean your panels yourself but remember to be mindful of safety while walking around your roof. You may also hire a trusted company to clean them for you. 

If you choose to DIY, gather the materials you’ll need like a garden hose, bucket, non-abrasive sponge or scrub brush, and dishwashing liquid. Avoid cleaning materials with harsh chemicals. Gently wash the surface of the panels and use clean water to rinse your solar panels. Just avoid cleaning under the hot midday sun.

Here are a few other things you should not do:

  • Never allow anyone, including yourself, to get up on your roof without proper fall protection equipment and a secure ladder. If there’s a need to go on the roof, we highly recommend hiring a professional cleaner.
  • Avoid using mineral-rich or hard water because this may damage your panels. If your area has hard tap water only, you can buy a water-softening host attachment to filter out the minerals. You can also use de-ionized or distilled water.
  • If you will use a high-pressure water nozzle, remember to not get close to the panels. You don’t want to risk potential damage.
  • Never use abrasive brushes, powders, or pads. Choose soft-bristle brushes, squeegees, and towels.
