Clever Builders Pty Ltd is specialised to provide a complete solar panel cleaning program for you. We carry out utility-scale solar panel cleaning on ground-mounted solar farms, large scale commercial rooftop solar panel cleaning and also smaller rooftop cleans on residential solar arrays.
Solar panel Cleaning Requirements:
If you own or maintain a commercial solar panel array, you will no doubt be interested in reaping the largest financial reward from your array and seeing your ROI (Return on Investment) as soon as possible. Solar panel cleaning will help you to do just that. Having dirty solar panels can severely dent your ROI time. By having clean solar panels, more light hits the solar cells meaning more generation which in turn means more money, sooner.
Things affect the output of solar panel are:
Bird droppings
Dust
Leaves
Bird droppings on your Solar panels are the worst enemy that affects the performance of your panel. Do your solar panels have a string inverter or micro-inverters? This is important because systems with micro-inverters, with an inverter attached to each separate panel, can show where one panel has been covered with droppings because that inverter will stop showing current flow.
Flat solar panels will need more cleaning as water can pool up and leave a muddy residue when it evaporates. Angled panels take advantage of rain running across them to keep them clean.
How the output energy is affected?
A dirty panel will reduce the energy production from 5-10% of total capacity which is a massive difference considering the number of dirty panels you have in your place.
How frequently the panels need to be cleaned?
As an effective practice, we recommend cleaning your panels every 6 months under normal conditions.
