Solar Suds 5 Top Reasons To Get Your Solar Panels Cleaned

1. Rainwater won’t clean your solar panels! Monitoring your solar panels will help catch any issues at birth.

There are solar panel installation companies and manufacturers that have included the necessity to clean the solar panels in their warranty. This means that you will need to provide proof of regular solar panel cleaning by a local professional cleaning company if you are experiencing any issues with the panels to be covered by the warranty.

2. Unlike what many people think, rain isn’t a efficient way to clean solar panels. This is because it contains airborne dust particles that attach to the surface of the solar panels right after the rainwater evaporates. As a result, grime accumulates and forms a film of dirt, which, in turns, reduces the light getting into the solar panels and increases your financial burden.

3. Keeping an eye on your solar panels when up on the roof to clean them, or when you have hired a professional cleaning company to clean them for you is a great way to check on the inverter display and make sure everything is alright. If the green light is flashing, it’s probably not good refer to the manual of the product. The longer it flashes before you notice it, the more it will probably cost you to bring the solar panels back to their original condition. Malfunctioning panels won’t be able to cover your electricity use. Chances are you won’t be able to figure out what’s wrong with your system, but you have your warranty covering you if you have been meticulous in properly cleaning your solar panels as previously mentioned.

4. To maintain maximum solar panel efficiency. Accumulated filth reduces the energy produced by the solar panels. The energy loss is dependent on the level of grime gathered and can reach 25%-30%, especially if you have never cleaned your system. During a groundbreaking experiment conducted by Google at their own solar farm (1.6 MW) in Mountain View, it became apparent that cleaning their solar panels yearly had doubled their electricity output.

5. Neglected Solar Panels Carry a Risk of Electrocution. If the glass layer that protects the solar cells breaks and water enters into the solar panel, the risk of electrocution is significantly high. You never know what can break that glass unless you frequently get up there to check the condition of the solar panels and clean them regularly. Anything from a bird of prey to a tennis ball can end up on your roof, causing the glass of your solar panels to crack or break. Another avenue for electrocution is birds that peck at wires, which is just another reason why you should not leave your solar panels neglected. https://form.jotform.com/201620830668150

Solar panels consist of solar cells covered by a glass coating and, just like windows, the longer they are outside, the dirtier they get and require cleaning. Dust, bird droppings, and other substances build up over time, especially when the panel tilt is minimal or in dry areas. Below are 5 top reasons to make sure your solar panels get cleaned frequently.

At Solar Suds, we take pride in using filtered water for every solar panel cleaning. A TDS meter (Total Dissolved Solids) shows us what’s in the water before and after filtration. Today’s reading was 204 TDS before filtration and only 5 TDS after—that’s pure, clean water protecting your panels and their anti-reflective coating. Cleaner water means better results, longer panel life, and higher efficiency. 🌞✨

Q. Why You Should Keep Your Solar Panels Clean?

A. 🌞 Maximize Your Solar Investment – Keep It Clean!

🔍 The Problem:

Over time, your solar panels collect:

* Dust, dirt, and pollen
* Bird droppings & bee p**p
* Tree sap, leaves, algae, mold
* Coastal salt & grime (especially in Florida!)

This layer of grime can reduce your system’s energy output by **15–35% or more**.

⚠️ The Fire Risk:

Debris under panels or on connectors can increase heat and even lead to **arc faults or fire hazards** if left untreated.😢

The Benefits of Routine Solar Panel Cleaning❤️
Clean Panels = More Power + Longer Life"**

📈 Performance & Savings

* Maximize energy production = lower utility bills.
* More power means **faster return on your solar investment**.

🛡️ System Protection

* Removes corrosive elements like salt, bird droppings, and sap.
* Reduces wear on components, wiring, and racking.
* Prevents premature degradation of the **anti-reflective coating (ARC)**.

💰 Protect Your Warranty

* Many solar panel warranties **require regular cleaning** to stay valid.
* Insurers may deny claims if panels are clearly neglected.

🧰 Bonus: 12-Point Visual Inspection

With every cleaning, we inspect for:

* Loose clamps
* Exposed wires
* Panel discoloration
* Microcracks
* Inverter alerts
* Water pooling or panel shifting

✅ What to Watch Out For – Common Solar System Damage

🔎 Not All Damage Is Obvious" – Here’s What You Should Know**

⚡ Types of Solar Panel Issues:

**1. Microcracks
Often invisible to the naked eye, these tiny cracks in the panel glass or cells can reduce output or cause permanent failure.

**2. Delamination
Separation of the layers in your panel, usually caused by heat or moisture, leading to reduced lifespan.

**3. Hot Spots
Sections of a panel that overheat due to debris, bird droppings, or manufacturing defects – can become a fire hazard.

**4. Arc Faults / Loose Wiring
Improper installation or natural wear can lead to dangerous electrical arcs. We inspect for signs and help mitigate risk.

**5. Discoloration or Burn Marks
Indicates overheating, panel degradation, or underlying electrical issues.

**6. Damaged Racking or Hardware
Loose clamps, missing bolts, or corrosion can lead to panel shifting or full detachment during storms.

5 Reasons to Get your Solar Panels Cleaned

solar-panel\Solar panels are very popular in the Bay Area and need to be cleaned. Solar panels consist of solar cells covered by a glass coating and, just like windows, the longer they are outside, the dirtier they get and require cleaning. Although most solar panels are self-cleaning, dust, bird droppings, and other substances build up over time, especially when the panel tilt is minimal or in dry areas. However, getting solar panels cleaned goes far beyond the need to have everything inside and outside the home spotlessly clean. Below are 5 top reasons to make sure your solar panels get cleaned frequently.

1. Warranty

There are solar panel installation companies and manufacturers that have included the necessity to clean the solar panels in their warranty. This means that you will need to provide proof of regular solar panel cleaning by a local professional cleaning company if you are experiencing any issues with the panels to be covered by the warranty.
