While solar panels are durable and long-lasting, they are not maintenance-free. Routine maintenance and cleaning is essential to ensure that your solar panels are functioning at their best. Dirt, debris, and other contaminants can reduce the efficiency of your solar panels, reducing their output and lowering your energy savings.
Regular maintenance and cleaning can help prevent damage to your solar panels and ensure that they are functioning optimally. It can also help extend the lifespan of your solar panels, ensuring that you get the most out of your investment.
Dirt, dust, and other debris can accumulate on the surface of your solar panels over time. This can reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches the PV cells, reducing their efficiency and output.
When dirt and debris accumulate on the surface of your solar panels, it creates a barrier that blocks the sunlight from reaching the PV cells. This reduces the amount of electricity that is generated, lowering the overall efficiency of the solar panel system.
In addition to reducing the efficiency of your solar panels, dirt and debris can also cause damage to the surface of the panels. This can lead to scratches, cracks, or other damage that can further reduce their efficiency.
While it's possible to perform routine maintenance and cleaning tasks on your solar panels yourself, it's often best to hire a professional. Our team of qualified electricians have the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to ensure that your solar panels are functioning at their best.
Sip Energy use specialised equipment and cleaning techniques to remove dirt, debris, and other contaminants from the surface of your solar panels. We also perform more advanced maintenance tasks, such as inspecting your solar panel system for damage or wear and tear.
