4 Reasons to have your solar panels cleaned by a professional this spring

Spring in Perth has officially sprung, and what is spring known for? (other than flowers and hay fever) Spring cleaning!

Yes, spring is the perfect time to clean your home, have a garage sale, take out the old and bring in the new – whatever cleaning may mean for you. When we clean our house during this time though, we usually don’t think about our roof, let alone our solar panels.  You may want to start doing so though, because spring is in fact, the perfect time to have your solar panels cleaned too.

Why and how should you clean them? Read on to find out.  

1. Clean solar panels can save you money

Who doesn’t want to solve money? No one!

What you may not know, is that dusty and dirty solar panels can actually reduce their efficiency by up to 20%!

This reduction in efficiency may be costing you money – up to hundreds of dollars per year.

How can you fix it? By having them professionally cleaned by a Perth solar panel cleaner of course, and spring is a great time to do it.

2. Benefit from your solar panel warranty

Have you read the warranty on your solar panels? Like really read it?

Some solar panel manufacturers have made cleaning a condition of their warranty. So, if you don’t have proof of regular cleaning, then any damage to your solar panels may not be covered.

Do you want to risk voiding your warranty? Probably not.

3. Get a better cleaning job than the rain

Unlike what you may think, the rain isn’t enough to clean your solar panels.

In fact, the minerals and deposits rain can leave behind, can make them even dirtier.  So, don’t rely on rain.

4. You’ll protect yourself by hiring a professional

You might be tempted to have a go at cleaning your solar panels yourself. Please don’t be tempted to do it yourself – Doing so could be costly and potentially very dangerous!

You’re on the roof with equipment and water, without professional experience and equipment, this really is a recipe for disaster. Protect yourself and hire a Perth professional solar panel cleaner.
