Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Panel Cleaning
Do I need to clean my solar panels?
It is important to clean your solar panels regularly. Solar panels are specifically created to capture the sun’s energy. However, as time passes, their efficiency decreases due to contaminants that build up on the glass’s surface. Even slight collections of airborne particles can reduce the panel’s efficiency by 10% to 60%.
Does solar panel cleaning void my warranty?
Quite the opposite! Regularly cleaning your solar panels is essential to maintaining your warranty. But your warranty also requires you to follow specific cleaning methods. Using harsh chemicals like degreasers or acids can damage your solar panels and leave a lasting residue that attracts more dirt, voiding your solar panel warranty. At Solar Stan, we provide a warranty-safe cleaning process that adheres to your solar panel’s warranty requirements. Our safe process involves using deionized water, soft bristle brushes, and secure handling. This approach can help increase the efficiency of your panels and protect your investment by keeping your warranty active.
Do I need to be home for the cleaning?
No. Our professional team can manage the cleaning process even if you’re not home. We will take care of all the details, so you don’t have to! We are bonded, licensed, and insured.
How do you price solar panel cleaning?
We offer a straightforward and transparent approach when pricing solar panel cleaning services. Call us, and we will gladly provide you with a free, no-obligation quote. To ensure accuracy, we will ask you to give us specific details about the job, such as the size and number of panels, roof pitch, and the location of the installation. With this information, we’ll be able to deliver a thorough quote that is affordable and competitive.
Will rain clean my solar panels?
No. Many people in Central Oregon believe their solar panels will be cleaned by rain. In reality, rainwater can add impurities, create water spots, and harden debris onto the panels. Solar Stan will remove all of this debris to keep your solar panels performing optimally.
Can I clean solar panels myself?
The short answer is no. Attempting to clean your panels with a hose and an ordinary brush doesn’t remove debris, and you could end up damaging the solar panels. Brushes that are too hard, insufficient water flow, the wrong type of water, or using harsh chemicals can cause permanent damage. Household dish soap or glass cleaning products are also harmful when applied to solar panels. On top of all of this, you risk injury to yourself, especially if your panels are on your roof. Stay safe, and let Solar Stan clean your solar panels for you!
