Frankfurt am Main: specific conditions for solar panels

Frankfurt am Main combines the largest financial centre in continental Europe with the busiest airport and the chemical cluster of Industriepark Höchst. This concentration means that solar panels there handle an exceptionally high load of paraffin precipitation, chemical particles and exhaust particulates.

Local factors affecting returns

  • Frankfurt Airport: Europe's fourth largest airport daily delivers paraffin deposits and exhaust residues onto rooftops in a wide radius around Sachsenhausen, Niederrad and Schwanheim.
  • Industrial park Höchst: one of Germany's largest chemical clusters disperses particulate matter and specific industrial particles.
  • Motorway network A3, A5 and A66: the Frankfurt Kreuz is among the busiest traffic intersections in Europe and continuously produces exhaust particulates.
  • Pollen Taunus forests: the forests around the Taunus and the Stadtwald yield considerably high levels of coniferous and deciduous pollen in spring and summer.

What that means for your installation

In Frankfurt, we recommend two cleanings per year for most roofs, with a third turn for large commercial installations close to the airport or Höchst. We coordinate the schedule with your monitoring dates.

Benefits of professional solar panel cleaning in Frankfurt am Main

  • Higher efficiency: Several studies show that cleaning solar panels can provide an efficiency improvement of a few percent to as much as 15%, depending on the degree of contamination.
  • Longer lifespan: By preventing dirt build-up and hot spots, your entire system will last longer.
  • Safety and warranty: Many manufacturers recommend professional cleaning to maintain the warranty. Climbing a roof yourself is also not without risk.
  • Time savings: With the right tools and experience, we can take care of a large installation in a short time, while you yourself spend your precious time on other things.
  • Sustainable approach: Osmosis water and robotic cleaning minimise the use of harmful chemicals, which is better for the environment as well as for the panels themselves.
