An Elaborate insight into Solar Panel Cleaning

Solar energy is one of the most sought-after renewable resources. Solar panels play quite an important role in helping convert solar energy into a usable form of energy. These face the elements of nature, and with due time, solar panels can become dusty and require maintenance and cleaning. Dust, leaves, and a variety of other things collect on the surface of solar panels. This might affect the efficiency of the solar panels. Studies show that dust and grime buildup can cause up to 5% decrease in efficiency. The maintenance and cleaning of solar panels are hence essential so that they function well.

Cleaning a solar panel is important to keep up with the optimized efficiency of these devices. Since these are quite sophisticated, it is important that they be maintained properly and be handled by professionals with the utmost care.

  • Hand cleaning: It involves the manual cleaning of the solar panel using brushes or wipers. It is quite suitable for installations that are on a smaller scale.
  • Dry scrubbing: It involves a dry object being used for cleaning so that the dust and debris can be removed.
  • Electrostatic cleaning: In this method, electrostatic repulsion is used to remove dust-associated issues.
  • Nanoparticle coating: In this method, the frequency at which cleaning is to be done is reduced. It acts as a shield against all sorts of dust and dirt.
  • Squeegee cleaning: In this method, water is sprayed onto the surface of the panel under high pressure. This method is not quite effective in areas where there is a lack of effective water supply.
  • Waterless vibration: A well sought-after solution. To remove grime and dirt, this method employs vibrations instead of water, offering an environmentally conscious option. It not only saves time but also water and is fit for areas that might lack it.

To keep up with the basic functioning of your solar panel, it must be cleaned at least twice a year; however, in order to keep up with the various factors, it is good to keep checking up on the device for factors such as wind and the location, condition of the surrounding have an impact on the frequency of cleaning.
