Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why do I need my panels cleaned? Won't the rain do the job?
No, the rain is not enough to keep your panels clean and running at peak efficiency. Rainwater can pick up small amounts of pollution, pollen, mold and other contaminates, over time these contaminates will slowly build up, lowering the clarity of the glass on your panels. In place where precipitation levels are much higher then Southern California, they may see enough rain fall to keep the dirt and dust at bay, but vegetation and bird/rodent droppings can remain, damaging your panels and costing you money.

So my panels are dirty. Can it really affect my efficiency that much?
Yes, our clients are often amazed to see how much savings they were losing. Solar panel manufacture's recommend regularly cleaning your panels to ensure your system is able to produce the most energy possible. Leading research suggests that even the lightest coating of dust reduces the efficiency of the photo voltaic cells in the panels, heavily soiled panels have been documented to have up to 33% loss in efficiency. But even worse for your panels is shade! Just 10-15% shade cover of the photo voltaic cells in a panel can reduce that panels energy output by over 50%.
