Commercial solar panel cleaning for your business

Get your commercial solar panel installation cleaned by Solarco and immediately experience lower energy costs and optimum efficiency. Our professional, eco-friendly methods ensure that your solar panels last longer and perform at their maximum.

Why professional cleaning of commercial solar panels is essential

For companies with large solar panel systems, "commercial solar panel cleaning" is not a luxury, but a necessity. Dirt, dust, bird droppings, industrial precipitation and algae growth on your panels can reduce efficiency by up to 15%. With our specialised commercial solar panel cleaning, you prevent:

  • Efficiency loss: Even a thin layer of dirt can cost 5-10% of energy output.

  • Hotspots and damage: Uneven contamination can cause overheating and permanent panel damage.

  • Reduced lifespan: Dirt and chemical residues accelerate wear.

Moreover, with regular cleaning, you prevent dirt from accumulating in specific areas and causing so-called hotspots there. Such a hot spot can lead to overheating and possible permanent damage to the panel. By investing in professional cleaning on time, you not only protect your returns, but also the lifespan of your commercial installation. Read more on our solar panel cleaning page.

How often to clean your commercial plant?

The frequency of cleaning greatly depends on the environment in which your business is located. Are your premises in an area with a lot of traffic, fine dust or industrial activities? Then the chances of rapid contamination are higher. Businesses in agricultural regions where pollen, dust or fertilisers pass through the air can also face more pollution than average.

In general, we recommend having your commercial solar panel installation cleaned at least once a year. However, in the case of intensive contamination or highly critical operations, semi-annual cleaning may be desirable. In doubt about the right frequency? Contact Solarco for tailored advice based on your specific situation and requirements or read more on our solar panel cleaning page.

Our approach to commercial solar panel cleaning

Professional and environmentally friendly

Solarco uses professional techniques, including robotic cleaning systems and osmosis water. This is not only better for your panels, but also better for the environment as no harsh cleaning agents are involved.

Safety first

We always work according to strict safety guidelines. Our operators are fully certified and trained to work on aerial platforms and roofs. Moreover, we have comprehensive insurance that covers any kind of risk or liability.

Innovative cleaning robots

For large solar parks or extensive roof installations, Solarco deploys robot cleaners. These robots run on batteries and are certified by renowned module manufacturers. The robot can clean large areas quickly and evenly without damaging the panels.

Benefits of professional cleaning for your business

  • 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.
