The most frequently asked questions
Why clean photovoltaic panels?
Cleaning solar panels is important because it frees the surface of the panels from any dirt and dust that may accumulate. These substances can reduce the efficiency of solar panels and therefore their ability to produce energy. A compromised solar panel has a harder time capturing the sun’s rays, leading to a drop in electricity yield. The solar panel is a key component of your installation. To ensure that it works at its best and lasts as long as possible, it’s important to clean it regularly.
How often should I clean my solar panels?
The frequency with which you clean your solar panels is closely linked to the slope of your roof. Specifically, if your roof has a slope of 15% or more and you live in a rather damp area, rain will help to clean the solar panels. However, such maintenance is largely insufficient to maintain a good level of performance, as rain contains pollution residues and fine particles that will tend to stick to your panel. That’s why we recommend that you have your solar panel cleaned at least once a year.
If your solar panel has an inclination of less than 15% and if you live in a dry area, it is advisable to clean your solar panels every six months to maintain good yields.
