Solar panel cleaning is an important part of maintaining your solar system. One of the key factors in solar panels not performing at their peak is a reduction in the amount of light filtering into the panel due to a build-up of dirt, dust, bird droppings, moss, mould etc. All this can really reduce the efficiency of your panels.

Keeping your solar panels clean allows that light back into them so that they function better to produce more power and operate closer to their full potential.

Whilst cleaning your panels is important, it is also important to clean them correctly. It is strongly advised not to use hard water directly from the tap, it's also advised not to use chemicals or detergents. All of which can potentially damage your solar panels as well as leaving spots and a film of residue that not only shades the panel like the dirt that has just been washed off, but also encourages and holds the dust etc. as it falls onto the solar panels.
