Because they\u2019re exposed to the elements, keeping clean solar panels can minimize the\u00a0negative\u00a0effects\u00a0of dust and debris on their efficiency and help maximize your system\u2019s\u00a0energy\u00a0production.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But when it comes to choosing the best cleaning services for residential solar panels or commercial solar panels, there are so many types of services available that it can be difficult to know which one is\u00a0the\u00a0best\u00a0choice for you. To help you navigate the world of solar panel cleaning services, here are some important factors to consider before choosing a company to do solar panel cleaning for you:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong><span class=\"TextRun MacChromeBold SCXW6345588 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW6345588 BCX0\">DIY<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW6345588 BCX0\">\u00a0Solutions<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW6345588 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When looking at solar panel maintenance costs or searching for how to clean solar panels, you may come across \u201cdo-it-yourself\u201d options that feel cost-effective and look like an easy quick fix. However, there are many things to consider here. In particular, you should consider the panel warranty and your own personal safety.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Panel manufacturers have several requirements to keep the warranty. The first is that the water cannot have calcium in the water \u2013 limescale build-up will ruin the panel and void the warranty. Another requirement is that panel washing must happen at the extreme ends of the day or at night. The reason is that cold water can put thermal stress on the solar panel glass and cause it to crack. Solar panel maintenance also requires activity around electrical components and on roofs \u2013 there are plenty of hazards like falling, shock, or breaking something on your roof.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong><span class=\"TextRun MacChromeBold SCXW5897864 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW5897864 BCX0\">Consider the Cost of<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW5897864 BCX0\">\u00a0Cleaning Compan<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW5897864 BCX0\">ies<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Instead of\u00a0doing solar panel maintenance yourself, you may consider typing something like \u201csolar panel cleaning near me\u201d into your search bar\u00a0to find local\u00a0options.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Most\u00a0solar panel cleaning services are done by local businesses that serve a limited area \u2013 so utilizing word of mouth and looking for reviews on the internet can help you find other customer\u2019s recommendations.\u00a0You\u2019ll also want to make sure the solar panel cleaning service\u00a0you choose doesn\u2019t use abrasive materials like hard brushes or detergent to clean since it can damage\u00a0your solar panels.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You should also consider solar panel maintenance cost when deciding on hiring a company to do your solar panel cleaning. Since you\u2019ll want to optimize your solar panel\u2019s energy production, the seasons and the weather in your area can affect how often you need solar panel maintenance. Because the panels tend to get dirty after a short period of time, you\u2019ll need to hire these businesses to clean them again and again which can get expensive in the long run. Otherwise, you\u2019ll have to accept a decrease in your solar panel\u2019s energy production that can be high as 30%.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong><span class=\"TextRun MacChromeBold SCXW188645230 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW188645230 BCX0\">Find a Long-Term Solution<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With all these options to consider, you may be thinking \u201cdo solar panels need cleaning?\u201d \u2013 and the answer really is yes. Although both durable and reliable, solar panels still need to be cleaned to protect your investment and ensure they\u2019re performing at top efficiency. But that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re stuck with the options of doing it yourself or hiring an expensive company to get the job done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With its automated solar panel cleaning system, the RST Cleantech\u00a0Solution\u00a0is a cost-effective solution that\u2019s designed to increase solar energy production and make routine solar panel maintenance easier.\u00a0By choosing to\u00a0fully\u00a0automate the process,\u00a0you\u2019ll never need people on your roof again and you\u2019ll ensure your solar panels are getting cleaned on a regular basis.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In addition, the RST Cleantech\u00a0Solution\u00a0system doesn\u2019t use detergent or abrasive materials that damage your solar panels.
