What are the benefits of cleaning your solar panels?
Having solar panels installed either on a roof or in a field is a task in itself. Now you are responsible for keeping them clean and in good working order. Like any piece of equipment, regular checking and cleaning and maintenance will save you money in the long run. But you don’t have to do it yourself.
What are the main threats to solar panels?
In terms of dirt and grime, the main threats are bird droppings, dust, leaves, and grime from traffic pollution are the main ones which can cause concern.
Keeping an eye on bird droppings …
By their very nature, solar panels in are located in places in which birds also feature. Roofs, fields or in areas of height are the usual locations. Bird droppings can also have a corrosive effect. Keeping on top of bird dirt therefore can save you lots of hassle, time and money. Here at YDPC we can help keep this worry to a minimum.
Watching out for leaves
Here in the UK, we have lots of trees that drop their leaves in the autumn and winter. Leaves can turn up just about anywhere and can be a real problem for solar panels if they’re not cleared away regularly. Given the position of your solar panels, keep them clear of leaves might be easier said than done. Our professional team can help.
Watching out for the angle …
Your professionally installed solar panels will have been placed at a certain angle depending on the pitch of your roof, location of the property and angle of the sunlight that reaches your dwelling. Here at YDPC we know what to look out for in terms of different angles. Important things to watch out for include water pooling, dust gathering, and mud collation.
