5 Reasons to Install an Automatic Cleaning System
- Dirty solar panels are less efficient.
Solar panels work by absorbing light from the sun. When there is a buildup of filth from dust, leaves, bird droppings and other contaminates, panels can produce up to 30% less energy. Overtime this drop can lead to huge losses in profit.
- Over time, filth can damage your panels.
When filth sits on panels for a long time it can create hotspots due to the greenhouse effect. When once specific part of a panel is heated more than the rest the PV cells in that area can become damaged. If you don't have an optimizer installed you may lose productivity on an entire row of panels thanks to one little damaged cell.
- Solar panel manufacturer warranties require cleaning.
Most panel manufacturers require proof of consistent cleaning before being able to file a claim. Our system cleans daily and doesn't use any techniques or materials which will otherwise void your warranty.
- Save money on manual cleaning.
The average cost of cleaning solar panels manually is about 12$ per panel. If you have a large commercial system this can add up quickly and cleaning regularly, even twice a year can add huge expenses to maining your solar panels. You also avoid needing to constantly schedule with companies and risk strangers entering your property regularly.
- Daily Maximum Efficiency.
When you use manual cleaners your panels begin to lose efficiency the moment they leave and decrease steadily until the next cleaning. Our automated systems work daily so your panels are producing to their maximum capability 365.
