Is solar panel cleaning worth it?
The short answer is yes. And here ae a few reasons.
Solar panels work by converting light into electricity. If there is dirt on the surface of the solar panel, it can reduce how much light is absorbed by that area, reducing efficiency. Cleaning solar panels reduce dust, debris, and other contaminants such as leaves and bugs, which could further reduce efficiency.
Maintaining your solar panels is essential, but you don't need to clean them as often as most people think. You may need to remove the occasional buildup of leaves, bird droppings, and other debris to maximize the amount of sunlight exposure your panels receive.
Dirty solar panels can negatively impact efficiencies by up to 35%! You should clean your panels every 3-6 months, and during that time dust, pollution, or bird poop may accumulate, causing shading on solar cells that interferes with energy production.
