Is rain enough to clean my solar panels?
While rain can rinse off some surface dust and dirt, it’s generally not enough to thoroughly clean solar panels. Rainwater may contain minerals or pollutants that leave residue behind, and it often fails to remove bird droppings, sap or oily grime. Panels are typically installed at angles that can limit the effectiveness of natural rinsing, especially near the edges. Like with car windows, rainfall alone doesn’t provide a spotless result. To maintain maximum efficiency, panels should be cleaned periodically using proper tools and purified water, particularly if they’re exposed to pollutants, coastal air or trees that attract birds or insects.
Can dirty solar panels affect energy bills?
Yes, dirty solar panels can lower the amount of electricity your system generates, leading you to draw more power from the grid. When panels are obstructed by grime, bird droppings, salt or pollution, their ability to convert sunlight into electricity is reduced. As a result, your home or business may consume more power from your provider, increasing your energy bill. Keeping panels clean ensures they operate as efficiently as possible and reduces the amount of purchased electricity. In large systems or commercial settings, the financial impact of dirty panels can be significant over time. Regular cleaning protects your energy savings.
What’s the safest way to clean solar panels?
The safest way to clean solar panels is using purified or demineralised water with soft brushes or sponges, ideally on a cool, overcast day. Avoid high pressure, harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can scratch the glass or affect coatings. If panels are on a roof, use safety harnesses and ladders, or better yet, leave the job to trained professionals. Water-fed pole systems allow cleaning from the ground, reducing risk. It’s also important to avoid working near electrical components while the system is generating power. Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal times, as panels are cooler and less slippery.
