How can you clean your solar panels?

Dirt, dust, and debris can cause a reduction of up to 12% in generation loss and would affect your overall savings. Hence, it is very crucial to clean and maintain the health of your solar system.

1. Safety first! Always disconnect solar panels from the power supply before cleaning. Use sturdy equipment like a ladder or scaffolding for reaching the panels safely.

2. Avoid harsh chemicals and detergents. Use a soft-bristled brush or sponge with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly to remove any residue.

3. Always clean solar panels in the early morning or late evening to avoid the glass breakage.

4. Create a regular cleaning schedule for solar panels based on location and climate. Clean at least twice a month, or more if in a dusty or polluted area.
