FAQs about residential solar panel cleaning
Your questions about MPV residential solar panel cleaning answered.
When should solar panels be cleaned?
It’s recommended to clean solar panels at least once a year.
What type of dirt affects solar panels?
- Bird droppings are the primary threat to solar panels, causing permanent stains and energy loss. Bird damage is not covered by warranty; the droppings are highly acidic and difficult to remove if untreated.
- Dust particles and acidic rain can accumulate on panels, hindering sunlight capture.
- Fallen leaves from deciduous trees can cover panels and roofs, attracting birds.
What chemicals do you use on solar panels?
We use our unique non-abrasive cleaning system which ensures that your solar panels will not be affected. Coupled with a gentle professional clean by our in-house trained experts ensures that the solar panel system will continue to perform efficiently.
Can I void my solar panel warranty if I do not clean and maintain them?
Yes. If you read your fine print, you will see that regular maintenance and protection is essential to protecting your warranty.
Can you clean all solar panel types?
Yes, we are fully capable of cleaning all solar types. Sometimes however when the solar panels are too close to a roof edge, we will do our best with respect to safety to be able to perform our job. If we see that safety is an issue, we will advise you.
What is the worst thing for my solar panels?
Bird faeces are always the worst for your panels. Bird droppings often are very hard to remove and the longer they stay their acidic composition will then burn through the solar panel and stain the panel which may cause it to cease operating.
