solar panel tips and tricks to save you money and improve performance

Clean your solar panels

Yes, that’s right. Even solar panels need to be cleaned once in a while so that they can continue operating at maximum efficiency. As time goes by, dust, dirt and all sorts of debris will coat the panels, which will slowly reduce the performance. In fact, the NREL found that soiling can account for as much as 7% of energy loss.

You don’t need to make a regular habit of cleaning your solar panels, but this should be performed 1-2 times a year. No special cleaning equipment is needed; water and a microfiber cloth should do the trick. However, if your solar panels are on your roof, do not attempt to climb up to do this chore yourself — it’s always best to call in the professionals.
