Rain Can Remove Loose Dust, But It Is Ineffective for Urban Grime
Rainwater cleans the loose dust up to some extent, but it is not pure. Rainwater is mixed significantly with industrial particles, construction debris, vehicle emissions, and many other contaminants because the surroundings are polluted to some extent. As a result, the rainwater leaves behind more than it cleans. And this film of residue is something that mixes with pollen, moss, and bird droppings to complicate things further.
When left unattended for a longer duration, this layer becomes pretty difficult to remove, especially without the help of professionals. And it impacts the energy output of the solar panels because the sticky layer above the surface blocks the sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic cells efficiently. It is no surprise that so many owners who ignore the importance of professional cleaning face issues related to low power output, faster degradation of solar panels, and reduced efficiency over time. Many studies have reported that a dirty solar panel loses its efficiency by 15% to 30%, which no business or homeowner in London wants.
DIY Cleaning Is Not Only Ineffective but Also Pretty Risky
no need to take any professional help, but they are wrong in thinking so. All those who wish to clean the solar panels on their own use either garden hoses or normal soap-water mixtures for that purpose. It is a widely accepted, cost-effective solution, but this can’t be recommended for several reasons. Some of the most prominent reasons include:
- Abrasive brushes used in the process can very easily scratch the tempered glass on the top of the surface
- Normally, the water used during this process is pretty hard, which may leave streaks and spots on the panel that end up impacting the overall efficiency of the panel.
- In most cases, the solar panels are placed on sloped rooftops that can’t be cleaned without the use of the right tools. Use of improper tools in the process can very easily lead to injuries and other issues.
On the other hand, hiring our professional solar panel cleaning service in London means only deionized water will be used during the process, along with proper tools like extendable carbon-fibre poles, and all the safety measures are considered properly. Our systems not only clean the panels efficiently but also ensure proper compliance with all the safety measures in place. This way, the owners get perfect results with an absolute peace of mind.
We Ensure Higher ROI and A Longer Lifespan with Absolutely Clean Panels
The best way to visualize this is to think of these solar panels as the windshield of a car. The driver won’t be able to drive the car through the city if the windshield is covered in dust, grime, and pollen. In the same way, the solar panels lose their utility when there is too much accumulation on their surface. As a result, the clarity of the solar panel is directly linked with its performance.
Long story short, having clean panels means:
- Better return on investment over a prolonged duration of time
- Extended lifespan of the panel and the overall system
- Reduced requirement of technical interventions
- More absorption of sunlight.
