Cleaning Your Solar Panels in Coachella Valley Benefits You in the Long Run
Solar panels in Coachella Valley, at your home or place of business, save you money on your energy bill, use clean energy and, if they’re for your business, increase your bottom line.
It’s important to properly maintain your solar panels to enjoy these benefits for longer. An essential part of solar panel maintenance is cleaning them every six months to a year. Cleaning your solar panels once per quarter, so about four times per year, can extend how long you enjoy the perks of solar energy.
Get More Out of Clean Solar Panels
Cleaning your solar panels isn’t about making them look good, at least not entirely. A big reason why it’s so important to clean your solar panels is about maximizing their output. Dirty solar panels can see their output decrease anywhere from 2% to 50%, according to ScienceDirect. Examples of what can decrease your solar panels’ output are:
- Sand
- Soil
- Calcium
- Limestone
Cleaning your solar panels every three months a year can prevent these particles and others from lowering their output.
Avoid Damaging Solar Panels
Decreasing your solar panels’ output isn’t the only consequence of not cleaning your solar panels. Not cleaning your solar panels can also lead to damage. When dust or any of the particles listed above build up, they can prevent the solar cells from generating power. The result is a damaged cell.
