• Increased Efficiency: Dust, dirt, bird droppings, and other debris on your solar panels can block sunlight from reaching the solar cells, reducing their ability to generate electricity. Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal energy production.

• Maximized Power Output: Even a small buildup of dirt can significantly decrease the amount of power your solar panels generate. Cleaning ensures that your panels are working at their maximum capacity, especially during peak sunlight hours.

• Longer Lifespan: Removing dirt and debris prevents corrosive elements from accumulating on the surface of the panels. This helps protect the panels from damage and wear, potentially extending their lifespan.

• Prevents Hotspots: If dirt or debris accumulates unevenly on the panels, it can create hot spots where the panel overheats. This can cause long-term damage, reducing efficiency or even leading to failure.

• Improved Aesthetics: Clean solar panels improve the visual appeal of your roof or solar installation, making them look well-maintained and in better condition.

• Enhanced Warranty Performance: Some solar panel manufacturers may recommend cleaning as part of regular maintenance to ensure the warranty conditions are met. Proper cleaning can help avoid any issues with warranty claims related to underperformance.

Yes, you are able to spray your solar panels with hose water, but it is not an ideal long-term solution. Just spraying the panels will only remove the top layer of dirt that is built on the surface but once they dry up it will still show the bottom layers of dirt. Also, simple spraying will not remove and stuck on bird droppings. That is why we use a soft bristle brush to clean the panels as it will remove all layers of dirt and remove any bird droppings without scratching your solar panels. With using hose water, you are also allowing all of the minerals/bacteria that is found in regular water to build up on your solar panels which will lead to damage after prolonged use. This is why we use filtered water(deionized).

Yes. We only use deionized water.

Bird proofing your solar panels refers to the process of preventing birds from nesting or perching under and around the panels. Birds, particularly pigeons and seagulls, often find the space beneath solar panels a convenient and sheltered area to build nests. While it might seem harmless, bird activity around solar panels can cause several issues. Bird proofing involves taking steps to deter birds from using your solar panels as a nesting or roosting site. This can involve installing physical barriers, repellents, or other deterrents.

• Preventing Nesting and Damage: Birds can create a mess by leaving droppings and debris under the panels, which can lead to clogs in drainage systems, damage to wiring, and even electrical failures due to moisture accumulation. Their nests can also damage the panels or wiring, causing costly repairs.

• Protecting Your Solar System: Bird droppings can be corrosive, and if they accumulate on the panels, they may interfere with energy production, reducing the efficiency of the solar system. Bird proofing prevents this type of contamination.

• Preventing Health Hazards: Bird droppings can harbor bacteria and parasites, potentially posing health risks to humans. By bird proofing your solar panels, you can help avoid these hazards.

• Avoiding Unwanted Noise and Disturbance: Birds can cause noise and disturbances, especially early in the morning, if they gather under or around the solar panels. Bird proofing reduces these issues.

The most common item we use is flexible steel mesh that we attach on to the outside of your solar panels. This helps prevent birds from going under your panels and nesting. By preventing birds from going underneath your panels you are actually keeping them safe as in many cases the birds will pick at the wiring and eventually will electrocute themselves. Also, they often at time get trapped underneath and will eventually perish. Bird spikes are used at times to prevent birds from hanging out on your rooftops. The spikes are non-lethal and will not harm the birds but act more as a nuisance to the birds and will eventually drive them away.
