Do solar panels need to be turned off to clean them?
It is generally not necessary to turn off your solar panels when cleaning them, but it depends on the system and safety conditions. Most residential solar systems are designed to be cleaned while operating, especially if you’re using water-fed pole systems or cleaning from the ground. However, if you’re working near inverters, electrical boxes or connectors, or if water could reach wiring, it may be safer to shut down the system temporarily. Always follow manufacturer guidelines, or better yet, consult a professional. A qualified cleaner will know the safest procedure and can spot any potential hazards before beginning.
Can solar panel cleaning be done in summer?
Yes, solar panels can be cleaned in summer, but it’s best to do it early in the morning or later in the afternoon when panels are cooler. Cleaning during peak heat can cause water to evaporate too quickly, leaving streaks or marks, and may even increase the risk of cracking if cold water is applied to hot glass. Summer often results in increased buildup from dust, pollution and bird activity, so it’s a good time to schedule a clean. Professionals typically use purified water and take precautions to protect both the panel surface and their own safety in hot conditions.
What equipment is used for professional solar panel cleaning?
Professional solar panel cleaners typically use purified or demineralised water fed through telescopic poles with soft-bristled brushes. This system avoids chemicals and leaves no residue or streaks. The purified water breaks down grime, bird droppings and salt deposits, which are then gently brushed away. For difficult stains, a mild biodegradable detergent may be used in rare cases, but only when safe for the panels. The poles allow ground-level access to rooftops without ladders in many situations. In commercial settings, professionals may use mobile water filtration units and elevated work platforms. All equipment is chosen to ensure safety, protect warranties and deliver spotless results.
