Professional cleaning of solar panels
Why it is important
Die professionelle Reinigung Ihrer Solarmodule ist unerlässlich, um das Beste aus Ihrer Investition herauszuholen. Im Laufe der Zeit können Staub, Schmutz, Vogelkot und Verschmutzungen das Sonnenlicht blockieren und die Leistungsabgabe Ihrer Module um bis zu 30 % – in extremen Fällen sogar um bis zu 80 % – verringern.
Eine regelmäßige Reinigung stellt die Effizienz wieder her, spart Ihnen Geld und verlängert die Lebensdauer Ihrer Anlage. Noch wichtiger ist, dass eine professionelle Reinigung sicherer ist als eine DIY-Reinigung, versehentliche Schäden verhindert und dazu beiträgt, Ihre Garantie und Ihren Versicherungsschutz aufrechtzuerhalten. Viele Versicherungsgesellschaften verlangen einen Nachweis über regelmäßige Wartung und können Ansprüche bei Unfällen oder Schäden ablehnen, wenn die Module vernachlässigt wurden.
Saubere Module steigern außerdem den Wert Ihres Hauses und verbessern dessen Außenwirkung. Bei Orloff's Window Cleaning Service verwenden wir die richtigen Werkzeuge und unser Fachwissen, um Ihre Solarmodule makellos, sicher und leistungsfähig zu halten.
Schützen Sie Ihre Energie, Ihre Investition und Ihre Sicherheit mit einer zuverlässigen, professionellen Reinigung Ihrer Solarmodule.
The importance of professional cleaning of solar panels: Protect your energy, your investment, and your safety.
Imagine standing on your roof on a sunny day, watching your solar panels shine in the sunlight. However, if you look closely, you may notice dust and dirt deposits that make the panels appear less bright and quietly reduce the energy they produce. These deposits can decrease the efficiency of your panels and even affect the value of your property and your savings.
At Orloff's Window Cleaning Service, our goal is to help you get the most out of your solar system. We offer a "Solar Shine Guarantee" that ensures your collectors operate at their best with our eco-friendly and effective cleaning solution. If your collectors do not show the expected improvement after cleaning, we will come back and fix the issue at no additional cost. Here you will learn why professional cleaning of solar panels is important for every homeowner.
1. Maximize your solar power output
Solar panels work best when they receive as much sunlight as possible. When they are covered with dust, pollen, bird droppings, or other contaminants, they block the sun and reduce your power output.
- Dirty solar cells can lose 10 to 30 percent of their performance within a few months. In dusty or industrial areas, the loss can be as much as 80 percent.
- A cleaning can almost restore the full efficiency of your collectors and save you a lot of money each year. For example, the Garcia family saved $412 on their annual bill after just one cleaning. Your savings may vary depending on your local climate, the intensity of dust or pollution, and how often you clean your collectors. Nevertheless, this shows how a professional cleaning can lead to real savings for many homeowners.
Interesting facts:
One might think that rain cleans the modules, but that is not the case. Rain often leaves behind sticky residues or even more dirt. A professional cleaning ensures that your modules function as well as possible.
2. Protect your investment and your warranty
Solar panels are a significant investment. If you keep them clean, you protect their value.
Cleaning on your own can be risky:
- If you use the wrong tools or chemicals, you could scratch the glass or damage the seals, which may void your warranty.
- Do not climb onto your roof if you do not have the proper training and safety equipment.
Professionals use special tools like soft brushes and purified water to clean your modules safely and gently. Many warranties also require regular professional cleaning to remain valid. If you neglect this, you may have to cover the repair costs yourself.
3. Avoid costly damages and legal risks
Most injuries related to solar panels occur when people try to clean them themselves.
- Most accidents are caused by falls from roofs or ladders, which can lead to high hospital costs or even more serious consequences.
- Improper handling of the modules also poses the risk of electric shock.
If you do not have proof of professional maintenance, the insurance may not cover any injuries or damages. In the event of an accident, you may have to pay for the costs yourself.
Regular professional cleaning:
- Reduces the risk of accidents and injuries.
- Helps ensure that your insurance coverage remains valid.
- Protects you from liability if someone is injured on your property.
4. Meet legal and municipal standards
Many municipalities, homeowners' associations, and insurers require you to keep your modules and roofs clean.
- If you ignore these regulations, you risk fines or even the loss of your modules. The San Diego Homeowners Association, for example, requires regular cleaning and maintenance of all solar systems to meet community standards. Compliance with these regulations can help you avoid penalties and extend the lifespan of your solar modules.
- If you have your modules regularly cleaned by professionals, you will remain compliant and worry-free.
5. Enjoy a longer-lasting solar system
Dirt and deposits not only block sunlight but can also cause long-term damage.
- If dirt accumulates, it can lead to hotspots and damage the cells of your modules.
- Bird droppings and dirt can attack the surfaces and seals of your modules.
The cleaning of your modules by professionals contributes to a longer lifespan and can save you costly repairs or premature replacement.
6. Increase the value and appeal of your home
A clean, well-maintained solar system attracts buyers and can increase the resale value of your home.
- Clean solar panels look good and show that you care about your home.
- Homes with well-maintained solar panels typically sell faster and achieve up to 4 percent higher prices.
