For the most part, the solar panels on your Bristol home will be kept clean by the rain – and we certainly get enough of that most of the year! Solar panels are coated in a hydrophobic substance that prevents water droplets from remaining on their surface. The action of the rainwater running off the solar panels helps to keep them clean. However, you will also need have your solar panels professionally cleaned occasionally. The frequency with which you will need them cleaned will depend on the specifics of your environment. If you are often visited by birds, live in a particularly dust prone area, or have trees that drop leaves on your roof you’ll need your solar panel cleaned more often. For many households, the cleaning of their solar panels can be done alongside their 5-yearly service. This will ensure they remain free from debris and any potentially damaging build-up of bird droppings and other corrosive substances.
