“The customer is always right… (sometimes!)” 😄
When we asked a customer if their solar panels had lichen growing on them, the reply was:
“Don’t think so, just dirt…” 🤦🏻♂️
On arrival, it turned out the panels were covered in lichen!
Lichen isn’t just dirt. It can:
☀️ Block sunlight from reaching the solar cells
📉 Reduce energy production and panel efficiency
💧 Trap moisture and dirt, making the problem worse
⚠️ Cause permanent staining or etching of the glass surface
🧽 Become much harder to remove if left untreated
Regular inspections and professional cleaning help keep your panels performing at their best and protect your investment for years to come.
If your solar panels are looking a little green, yellow, or patchy, it might be more than just dirt!
