When to Clean Your Solar Panels

• Ideally, clean them early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid extreme heat.
• Check your panels at least once every three months or more frequently if you live in a dusty area.
• After heavy storms, inspect for debris that may block sunlight.

How to Clean Your Solar Panels

1. Turn Off the System – Safety first! Always shut down your solar panel system before cleaning.
2. Use Soft Materials – A soft brush or sponge with a mild soap solution works best. Avoid abrasive materials that can scratch the glass.
3. Rinse with Water – Use a hose with low pressure to remove dirt. Do not use high-pressure washers, as they can damage the panels.
4. Dry Gently – Let them air dry or use a soft, lint-free cloth.
5. Check for Damage – Regular inspections help detect cracks or defects early.

Additional Tips

• If your panels are difficult to access, consider hiring a professional cleaning service.
• Avoid cleaning panels during peak sunlight hours to prevent rapid drying that can leave streaks.
• In areas with frequent rain, natural cleaning may be sufficient, but periodic manual cleaning is still recommended.

By maintaining clean solar panels, you maximize energy output and extend their lifespan, ensuring you get the most from your investment.
