What Sets Our Solar Panel Cleaning Apart From Others?
Welcome Building Maintenance uses the most high-tech equipment, which is why we are the leading experts in after-market solar services. We used the SolarCleno F1 Cleaning Robot from Germany, and in just one summer, utilizing the fastest robot on the market, we washed over 80,000 solar panels in California. In recent years, Welcome has become California’s most prominent solar cleaning company servicing almost all systems from large ground mount fields, flat commercial building roofs, and solar carports. The powerful and lightweight robot is controlled safely from the ground with a remote control that allows our operators to see on the camera, allowing for complete site inspections on every job. There is no system too large, as we have seen them all. Carport systems are also extremely complicated to keep clean and usually out of view. Still, the SolarCleano F1 is designed to drive on the carports and get to unreachable places.
Why Clean Solar PV Panels?
To produce energy at optimum efficiency.
Anything on the surface of the solar PV panels decreases the amount of sunlight (photons) striking the solar cells and will result in decreased energy production. Foreign particulate matter such as dust, weeds, pollen, bird droppings, tree leaves & sap, spider webs, moss or fungus, ash from fires and other contaminates. All of these decrease energy output.
If you live in an area with strong winds, your chances of accumulating dirt will be much higher. Dirt can also be transported through rain as it falls through the atmosphere picking up impurities in the air.
Why Regular Cleaning?
Dirt on black panels is almost impossible to detect. You must have regularly scheduled cleanings, a minimum of two times per year, according to reputable manufacturers.
Try taking a clean white tissue and wiping your car windshield after a rainy day. The dirt left behind is evident. Leaving the dirt to accumulate, it will slowly but surely combine with moisture or other oily substances from the surroundings to form a denser layer of dirt. Regular cleanings will prevent the buildup of dirt. Sap and bird droppings are very destructive. Left to bake in the sun, permanent etching or deep scratching will cause critical damage.
Why Don’t We Hear More About the Need for Regular Cleanings?
There are a lot of misconceptions in the solar industry about the need for recurring cleanings. Data has only recently been gathered.
Let Welcome Building Maintenance Protect Your Investment With Our Comprehensive Cleaning Process for Your Solar Panels
Debris from dust, soot, and pollen can reduce the output of photovoltaic systems and solar thermal energy modules by up to 20%. The natural power of rain, condensation, and wind is nowhere near strong enough to clean the modules effectively. Our Solar Panel Cleaning system utilizes dual rotating brushes attached to a telescopic lance, and de-ionized soft water to ensure that your panels are being cleaned most effectively and safely possible.
