So you invested in a solar photovoltaic system to produce your own energy but after the first year your seeing a decline in the energy our put. So what can you do to renew your system output ?

The first question you need to ask is, have you got dirty solar panels ?
dirty solar panels can lose as much as 28% of their energy generating power when heavily soiled with dirt, dust, debris or bird droppings.

One of the most commonly asked questions we get is, “ Can I wash my solar panels with my garden hose? “  the simple answer is No ! But why you ask . Tap water contains a large amount of dissolved minerals suck as iron, calcium, ironfosfate, and other minerals that can damage your glass solar panels.  Another question we get asked a lot is, “ can I power wash my panels”  and the answer is NO ! Pressure washing solar panels can cause damage by destroying the water tight seals and damaging your solar system.

Have you had your lawn sprinklers spray your car ? If so then you know how hard it is to remove the water spots ! The truth is you almost have to buff the spots off the paint to get rid of them. The same is true with glass solar panels. Hard water mineral can actually etch the glass and damage your beautiful solar panels.

How about dust ?  Dust is the primary culprit of dirty solar panels but it needs to be removed in such a way that it doesn’t also damage the glass. Dust is nothing less than dirt and it is very abrasive. It’s important that the heavy layer of dust be removed using specialized equipment in order to prevent scratching the glass surface of your solar panels.
