What happens if you are not cleaning the Solar Panels?

According to the latest study, it has been reported that solar panels lose around 30%of power if not cleaned properly. Due to the accumulation of dust, the efficiency of solar modules and panels in terms of power gets reduced by up to 60%. Additionally, the researchers inferred that the daily energy loss caused by dust deposited on panels is 4.4% over a year.

To conclude Dirty Panels = Power Loss. The Disadvantages of not cleaning your solar panels are as follows:

• Lose efficiency and lifespan

• Hampers overall system performance

• Permanent Module staining in certain cases

• Low return on investment

• Affects limited warranty 

Why clean Solar Panels?

You might say that you clean your solar panels regularly by yourself and that is enough. Although self-cleaning ensures dust cleaning but there is always a risk of damage and electric shock. It also reduces mineral residue that blocks sun rays from reaching the cells. So if the output of one cell is shaded, it eventually shades the entire panel in the series. Therefore, if you want to maximize your output it is of utmost importance to get your solar panels cleaned by experts. Following are some  of the benefits you get by doing so:

• Ensures maximum output

• Prevents permanent module staining

• Increases the life of your solar panels

• Savings in time and cost
