Why is roof installation solar panel cleaning so important?

Many people assume that rain is enough to wash dirt off a roof installation. While rain can indeed wash away some dust and pollen, this is not nearly enough to remove stubborn dirt. Think of bird droppings, accumulated dust, industrial precipitation or even moss and algae. All these forms of pollution can accumulate and lead to a significant loss of efficiency. Even a small amount of dirt can mean 5 to 10% less energy output, and that can add up if you never clean the roof installation solar panels.

Moreover, with regular cleaning, you extend the life of your installation. A clean and well-maintained solar panel performs more consistently and lasts longer. By removing dirt build-up, you also prevent 'hotspots' places where dirt or minor damage creates extra heat, which can eventually cause permanent damage. In short, roof installation solar panel cleaning is a smart investment in both the efficiency and durability of your system.

How often should roof installation solar panels be cleaned?

The frequency of cleaning depends on several factors, such as environment and location. Do you live in a city with lots of fine dust or in an agricultural area with pollen and fertilisers in the air? Or perhaps near the coast where salt and sand can cause additional pollution? These elements influence how quickly your roof installation solar panels get dirty.

In general, we recommend having your panels cleaned once a year or every two years. In highly polluted conditions, such as intensive farming or industrial activities, every six months may be better.
