Factors leading to dirty solar panels

Why do solar panels get dirty? Some solar systems are self-cleaning but not all dust and dirt can be washed off by the rain. The main culprits for dirty solar panels are:

• Bird droppings
• Dust buildup
• Tree leaves and branches
• Angle of panels - water pooling on flatter arrays and dirt is left when it evaporates

If your solar panels are located in an area that has an increased likelihood of these causes, then it is recommended to have them cleaned more frequently.

How often is it recommended to have clean solar panels?

If you'd like to maximise the efficiency of your solar panels, regular cleaning is highly recommended. Depending on your location and levels of dirt and dust in the air, experts suggest having your solar panels washed once to twice per year. 

It is sometimes possible to see whether your solar panels need cleaning by performing a visual check regularly from ground level so you can spot any buildup. If this is not the case, call the professionals to inspect your solar system. Always have professionals help with solar panel cleaning due to safety considerations involved when accessing rooftop arrays.
