Advantages & Benefits of Solar Cleaning
Does it Increase Production?

Professional Solar Panel Cleaning: Before & After
The two most obvious advantages to cleaning your solar panels are maximizing their production and your financial savings. Clean solar panels allow maximum light in to the solar cells creating photovoltaic production and increasing power. Overtime, dirt and debris naturally build up on the panels blocking the light while decreasing the amount of electricity your panels can produce. Studies have shown that dirty solar panels have a decreased photovoltaic or PV production level. A recent study stated, “The accumulation of airborne particles (both in the shape of dust and anthropic pollution) on solar cells can grind their output down by MORE THAN 25%”. Based on these facts, Smart Solar Cleaning recommends regularly scheduled cleanings at least twice a year to protect both your energy production and the return on your investment. In addition to solar panel cleaning. Smart Solar also offers pressure washing and window cleaning services in the Bay Area. Give us a call today to schedule your Bay Area solar panel cleaning!

Does Rain Clean Your Solar Panels?
No! Rain does not clean your solar panels effectively or efficiently. Did you know that raindrops collect pollutants on their way down to Earth? It is true. Rainfall plays a valuable role in scavenging natural as well as artificial particles from the dirty atmosphere. This includes but is not limited to salt, chemicals, soot, acids, etc. Just imagine all the stuff in the air during fire season collected and dumped on your solar panels.
Also, the rain is not strong or consistent enough to effectively clean your solar panels. If you have ever seen a black car after a rain storm you know the debris and marks left do not indicate a clean surface. The same goes for your solar panels. Except when a panel gets dirty it not only looks bad but it is also less efficient.

OUR SOLAR PANEL CLEANING PROCESS
Your solar panels can absorb more sunlight when their photovoltaic surfaces remain clear and uncovered. Unfortunately, since solar panels remain outdoors 24/7, they are regularly exposed to pollen, dust, leaves, sticks, bird droppings, and other environmental debris that accumulate on them. The more debris that covers the solar panels, the less solar energy they can absorb and convert into electricity for your home or business. Hiring our solar panel cleaning professionals will ensure our solar panels remain clean and at maximum energy absorption efficiency.

Here at Smart Solar Panel Cleaning, we use a rigorously tested solar panel cleaning method to remove debris accumulation from sensitive photovoltaic surfaces. These steps include:
- Initial Inspection – Before we do anything else, the first thing our team will do is conduct an inspection of your solar panel system. We’ll focus particularly on its current condition, layout design, all the different access points, and any other issues that we think are important. Afterward, we’ll inform you of the results of our inspection, including any existing damage that we find, and then recommend the best course of action for cleaning the solar panels. If you wish for us to proceed, we’ll begin the job.
- Prepare for the Cleaning – Our next step is to prepare for the cleaning job, which entails removing any existing electrical equipment to prevent electrical problems. We’ll also decide whether it is better to clean the solar panels from the ground or on top of the roof. Either way, our team has the necessary cleaning equipment to safely and effectively do the cleaning job.
- The Cleaning Begins – Now comes the step of cleaning the solar panels to remove all the accumulated debris from them. Our technicians always avoid abrasive scrubbing, high-pressure washing, and chemical-based cleaning solutions to protect the integrity of the solar panel materials. Some of the cleaning methods we like to use include light pressure washing, long-range washing poles, chemical-free soaps, and other certified solar panel cleaning solutions.
- Rinse and Final Inspection – Once we remove all the debris and bird droppings, we’ll rinse away the remaining debris particles from your solar panels. Then, we’ll conduct a final inspection to verify that your solar panels remain clean and undamaged. You can trust us to deliver exemplary results.
