Solar Panel Cleaning Perth
In this money-saving, environmental-friendly conscious world that we have become, solar panels have become a more popular way to save money on energy bills while also looking after our planet.
However, solar panels can have a hard life stuck up there on your roof, open to the environment 24-7. There’s the wind-blown dust adhering to the panel’s surface, leaves, dirt, bird droppings and sticky tree sap – they all contribute in lessening your solar panel’s energy output. Solar Panels are a big investment; they cost a lot of money to install, so you need to ensure that you maximize that investment, and one way to do that is to ensure that your panels remain clean. To work at its full potential, solar panels need their entire surface to be free to absorb the sun’s rays. If the panels are clogged with leaves and dirt and the dropping of birds and animals (droppings, that, in addition, are corrosive to your solar panels), they are not working to full capacity, and that could be costing you money. Now’s the time you might be thinking, ‘All right! I’ll do it! I’ll clean my solar panels. I’ll just get a ladder and go up and do it myself.’ That might not be the best idea. The roof is a dangerous place to work, unless you are experienced and trained. Often roofs are sloped at a fairly sharp angle, and might be slippery from recent rain. It only takes one slip, one foot placed in just the wrong area, and you could fall and slide off the roof. Falls from even as low as two metres can be serious, even fatal. That is why you should call Pro Gutter Cleaning Perth for your Solar Panel cleaning Perth jobs. Our contractors are highly experienced at working on roofs. They know where to step, where to avoid, how to climb up and down ladders with equipment, and how to safely make the transition from ladder and roof and back again without incident. |

Hopefully, now you are thinking, ‘Ok, I won’t do it myself. But how often should I be getting my solar panels cleaned?’
To which, we say, ‘It depends’.
We know that’s not a definitive answer, but it depends on where your property is located. Are you close to the sea, in which case, you might have to contend with wind blow salt and sea spray?
Or do you live around and under tall trees that might drop leaves, or provide simple access for possums to your roof, or draw in birds?
Do you live in a commercial or industrial area of town, that might have more particulates in the air?
There are a few things to consider, but to be on the safe side, we would recommend a clean every three to six months. This is to ensure that the investment you made to do your bit to make the earth a cleaner place isn’t wasted.
