Why is carport solar panel installation cleaning so important?

A carport with solar panels is a smart investment: you create extra parking space as well as generate sustainable energy. But like all solar panels, the panels on your carport are susceptible to contamination from dust, pollen, bird droppings and industrial precipitation. This accumulation of dirt can significantly reduce your efficiency, sometimes by as much as 5 to 10%. In addition, prolonged pollution can lead to so-called 'hotspots', places where extra heat develops and can cause damage over time.

By regularly cleaning your carport solar panel system, you not only maintain a higher yield, but also extend the life of your panels. Cleaning is therefore a double win: more yield and a sustainable investment that lasts longer.

How often should carport solar panel installations be cleaned?

The frequency of cleaning varies depending on the environment. If your carport is close to busy roads or industrial areas, the chances of contamination may be higher. Also, if there are many trees around it, leaf fall or resin may accumulate. In general, cleaning once a year or once every two years is recommended. For more intense pollution, for example in agricultural areas or areas with a lot of fine dust, a six-monthly cleaning is not a luxury.

To find out for sure how often your carport solar panel installation needs to be cleaned, you can always contact a specialist like Solarco. We will be happy to give you tailored advice based on your specific situation and environment.

Advantages of professional cleaning

Higher efficiency: Several studies have shown that cleanings can provide yield improvements of a few percent to as much as 15%, depending on the degree of soiling.
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.

Frequently asked questions about carport solar panel installation cleaning

Rain sometimes washes away loose dirt, but leaves minerals behind. Stubborn dirt such as bird droppings, resin and dust often remains.

In theory, it can be done, but you risk falling and damaging the panels if you don't have the right tools and experience. Professional cleaning is safer and more effective.

It depends on the number of panels and the degree of soiling. In general, an average carport installation can be cleaned within a few hours.

Osmosis water is usually sufficient, possibly in combination with robot cleaners. Extreme soiling may require a mild, panel-friendly agent, but we avoid harsh chemicals.

No, our robots are specially designed for solar modules and are certified by leading module manufacturers. They clean evenly and gently, without causing scratches.
