AGRICULTURAL SOLAR PANEL CLEANING

Helping our agricultural clients get the most from their investment in solar energy

Why is solar panel
cleaning important?

Solar panel farms are large-scale installations, often spanning hundreds of acres of countryside. They’re vital to ongoing renewable energy infrastructure, harnessing sunlight to generate electricity. However, to ensure optimal performance and durability, regular solar panel cleaning and maintenance are key.

We provide large scale cleaning services to solar farms and parks in the UK

Dirt and Dust reduce efficiency

Due to the dusty environments on farms and the shallow angles at which many farm roof solar panels are mounted, regular cleaning is essential. While all solar arrays benefit from cleaning, the farming community gains the most significant rewards. 

Forward-thinking farmers have recognised solar panels as an effective way to reduce energy bills and have carefully analysed the financial benefits. 

Therefore, it can be disheartening to see a drop in output due to dust accumulation on the panels.

How Often Should You Have Your Solar Panels Cleaned?

Dust, pollen and agricultural debris can quickly build up on solar panel arrays. This can reduce their efficiency and reduce the return on your investment. To ensure they remain productive we recommend at least one clean, scheduled in the spring to maximise their output in the summer months.

It is recommended by solar panel installers that you should have your solar panels cleaned by a professional solar panel cleaning service every 6 months in rural areas.

Failing to clean your solar panels can have a detrimental impact on their solar energy output.
