Cleaning your solar panels is one of the most important things you can do to keep your system running at peak efficiency. Here are the top 5 reasons why:
1. The more dust and grime that builds up on your panels, the less sunlight they're able to capture. If you don't clean them regularly, they'll be less efficient at producing electricity, which means you'll end up paying more for energy.
2. As dust builds up on your panels, it also increases the risk of fire—which is bad news for both your equipment and your home!
3. Keeping your panels clean will help them last longer, which means you'll have to replace them less often—saving money in the long run.
4. A clean panel will produce more electricity (and thus save you even more money) because there are fewer obstructions blocking light from reaching it.
5. There are health benefits to keeping your panels clean—the majority of airborne particles come from fossil fuels like coal-fired power plants or car exhaust fumes; by using renewable energy sources like solar power instead of relying on dirty fuel sources like coal or oil (or even natural gas), we're not only helping ourselves but also doing our part in protecting our environment as well.
