Residential & Commercial Solar Panel Cleaning

Keeping your solar panels clean is important because dirt, leaves, bird droppings, and dust can make them work less efficiently. Dirty panels might cause a power loss of up to 20%, especially in windy areas, costing you money.

Regularly cleaning your solar panels helps them work well and saves you money on your power bill and cleaning costs. Calgary Solar Cleaning can help with this. We clean solar panels for homes and businesses, whether you own or lease the solar system. We use high-quality products like pure water without harsh chemicals to clean your panels safely. Our cleaning process involves using a special brush attached to an extension pole with three-stage filtered pure water. We offer one-time cleaning and as needed basis.

Bird Proofing/Critter Guards

Calgary Solar Cleaning Pest Solutions addresses four potential risks to home rooftop solar panels:

1. Squirrel damage to wiring, risking harm to your solar electrical system.
2. Damaged wiring turning into a fire hazard.
3. Pigeon nesting beneath solar panels, posing health risks and property degradation.
4. Accumulation of leaves or debris beneath panels leading to roof damage and rot.

Our solutions include protective barriers that not only prevent pests but also enhance the aesthetics of your solar system, adding curb appeal and value. These barriers are durable, attractive, and provide a permanent shield against natural threats.

Will Rain Clean My Solar Panels?

Rain can help clean your solar panels to some extent by washing away dust, dirt, and other debris that may accumulate on the surface. However, the effectiveness of rain in cleaning solar panels depends on various factors, such as the intensity of the rain, the type of dirt or debris on the panels, and the angle of the panels. Light rain may not be sufficient to remove stubborn dirt or bird droppings, and in some cases, it may even leave behind water spots as the water evaporates. Additionally, if your solar panels are installed at a steep angle, rain might not effectively clean the entire surface. It’s generally a good idea to periodically inspect and clean your solar panels to ensure optimal efficiency. Keep in mind that cleaning frequency can vary based on your location, local weather conditions, and the surrounding environment.

To keep your solar panels performing you must maximize the light that can passthrough the glass to the solar cells.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to clean solar panels?

Cleaning solar panels is crucial to maintain optimal efficiency. Dust, dirt, bird droppings, and other debris can accumulate on the surface, reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the solar cells and diminishing energy production.

How often should solar panels be cleaned?

The frequency of cleaning depends on various factors, including the local environment and weather conditions. In general, it is recommended to clean solar panels at least once or twice a year. However, areas with high dust, pollen, or bird activity may require more frequent cleaning.

What is the impact of dirty solar panels on energy production?

Dirty solar panels can significantly reduce energy production. The layer of dirt on the panels acts as a barrier, preventing sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic cells and reducing the conversion of sunlight into electricity.

Does Solar Panel Cleaning Void My Warranty?

Keeping your solar panels clean is essential to maintain the validity of your warranty. Most solar panel manufacturers require regular cleaning to uphold the warranty. However, it's crucial to use the right cleaning methods to avoid damaging the panels and voiding the warranty. Avoid harsh chemicals like degreasers or acids, as they not only harm the panels but also leave a residue that attracts more dirt. Calgary Solar Cleaning service offers a chemical-free and warranty-safe cleaning solution that aligns with your solar panel's warranty requirements. We use a clean and safe process involving chemical-free de-ionized water, soft bristle brushes, and safe handling. This not only enhances the efficiency of your panels but also safeguards your investment by ensuring your warranty stays active.

How does the cleaning process typically work?

Solar panel cleaning involves removing dirt, dust, and other debris from the surface of the panels. This will be cleaned with pure water/deionized water with water-fed pole systems, designed for small to larger installations.

What Is De-ionized Water?

Deionized water, often abbreviated as DI water, is water that has had its mineral ions removed through a process called deionization. This process involves passing the water through ion exchange resins or other methods to eliminate ions such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, chloride, and sulfate. These ions contribute to the electrical conductivity of water. Deionized water is commonly used in various industries, laboratories, and technical applications where the presence of minerals and ions can interfere with processes or reactions. It is essential in situations where high-purity water is required to prevent contamination or unwanted chemical reactions. The deionization process typically involves two types of ion exchange resins: cat ion exchange resins, which remove positively charged ions (cations), and anion exchange resins, which remove negatively charged ions (anions). As the water passes through these resins, the ions are exchanged for hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-),resulting in the removal of most mineral ions.

Can I clean my solar panels myself?

While it's possible for homeowners to clean their solar panels, it's essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid damaging the panels or voiding warranties. If you're unsure or uncomfortable doing it yourself, it's recommended to hire a professional solar panel cleaning service.

Are there any special considerations for cleaning solar panels?

Yes, it's crucial to use non-abrasive materials and a pure water system to prevent scratches or damage to the protective coatings on the panels. Additionally, cleaning should be done early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid cleaning hot panels, which may be more prone to damage.

What are the benefits of keeping solar panels clean?

Keeping solar panels clean ensures maximum energy production, leading to higher electricity yields. This, in turn, enhances the return on investment for solar panel owners and contributes to a more sustainable and eco-friendly energy generation process.

Do I Need to Be Home During the Solar Panel Cleaning Service?

No, our team can manage the cleaning process even if no one is at home.

Do I Need to Remove Any Outdoor Items, Such as Furniture, Before the Cleaning Service?

No, our team can manage the access needed to clean the solar panels.
