Solar panels provide homeowners with a reliable power source that drastically reduces their utilities bill. However, the effectiveness of these solar panels is closely related to how clean the panels are. Dirty panels are less effective than clean panels, which is why solar panel cleaning is so important. However, don’t get out your ladder and soap just yet. You should always leave solar panel cleaning to professionals.
Here are three reasons why:
- Safety. The solar panels on your roof are difficult to get to, so you often have to take a lot of personal risk to clean them. Due to its height, performing any activity on your roof can be dangerous. Exterior cleaning experts are better equipped to clean the solar panels on your roof because they have more experience working high off the ground and know how to keep themselves safe.
- Equipment. Another reason to leave solar panel cleaning to our local exterior cleaning experts is related to the equipment we use. Here at Orca ProWash, we use the softwashing method to clean your solar panels. A safer alternative to pressure washing, softwashing utilizes a special cleaning solution and is perfect for more sensitive surfaces like solar panels. It’s also more effective against contaminants like dirt and insect residue.
- Time. You could spend several hours washing your solar panels, or you leave it to the people who know how to get your panels cleaned as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality work. When you hire professionals to clean your solar panels, you can spend your time doing something you love or taking care of other chores on your to-do list.
