FINALLY A SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT VOID YOUR SOLAR PANEL WARRANTY!!
UNVEIL A WORLD OF ENHANCED SOLAR POTENTIAL AND SAFEGUARDED PROTECTION WITH OUR INNOVATIVE SOLAR PANEL MESH SYSTEM
Solar Panel installationacross Australia has grown by 12.7% year on year since 2017. As homeowners and businesses look to reduce their carbon footprint and utilise green energy, we now find ourselves in a situation where we have created new areas for birds to nest and congregate. Solar panels are a significant financial outlay, so make sure you are aware of the impacts of birds nesting within these spaces and how this can affect your overall investment.
Our traditional gutter guard serviceshave extended into solar panel protection in Melbourne and surroundings. Too many times have we had to tell unsuspecting homeowners of the unwanted visitors living under their solar panels. Birds nesting underneath can create an unhealthy build-up of faeces which will attract vermin. Also, build-up of debris and material from nests can increase a home’s fire danger.
Our new solar protection system is the first of its kind, and we are proud to announce our system DOES NOT compromise or void your solar panel system warranty.
Our one-of-kind installation method utilises a hook, washer and wire mesh system that allows us to avoid screwing into the aluminium frames.
Our commitment to perfection is unwavering. Before installing the wire mesh, our skilled experts provide thorough cleaning services, meticulously clearing away debris and droppings. This essential solar panel cleaning ensures a flawless foundation, leaving no room for compromise. For true peace of mind, this combination of professional cleaning and superior protection is unmatched. Our process guarantees the longevity of your investment and provides peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Why do my solar panels need to be cleaned?
Solar panels need to be clean to operate at peak efficiency. Dust, pollen, bird droppings, leaves, and pollution can create a layer of grime that blocks sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic cells. This significantly reduces their power output, meaning you get less green energy and a lower return on your investment.
2. How often should solar panels be cleaned?
The general recommendation is for a professional cleaning at least once every 12-18 months. However, this depends on your environment. If you live near the ocean (salt spray), in a dusty area, have high pollen counts, or have issues with bird droppings, you may need cleaning every 6 months.
3. Can I clean my solar panels myself?
While it's possible, we highly advise against it for safety and warranty reasons. Cleaning panels requires working at height on a roof, which is dangerous without proper safety equipment. Furthermore, using the wrong cleaning tools or chemicals can scratch the glass panels or void your manufacturer's warranty. It's best left to trained professionals.
4. What is involved in a professional solar panel cleaning service?
A professional service involves more than just spraying water. Our experts use deionized water systems and soft brushes to gently remove all debris without leaving mineral spots or streaks. We conduct a visual inspection for any damage and ensure the panels are left completely clean for maximum sunlight absorption.
5. Will cleaning my solar panels increase their energy production?
Absolutely. A clean panel is an efficient panel. Studies show that dirty solar panels can lose 15-25% of their efficiency. After a thorough cleaning, most systems immediately see a noticeable jump in power output, directly increasing your energy savings.
6. Does rain clean solar panels?
While rain can wash away light surface dust, it is not effective for cleaning solar panels. In fact, rain often leaves behind water spots, streaks, and can bake-on pollen and bird droppings, making them harder to remove. For a proper clean, manual intervention is required.
7. How do I know if my solar panels need cleaning?
The easiest way is to monitor your system's output through its monitoring app or inverter. A consistent, unexplained drop in performance is a key sign. Visually, if you can see a noticeable layer of dirt, bird mess, or debris from the ground, it's definitely time for a clean.
8. What about bird proofing or mesh protection?
Having a solar panel protection system installed is the best way to prevent the need for frequent cleaning. Mesh guards block birds and pests from nesting underneath, preventing the accumulation of harmful droppings and debris. We recommend a professional cleaning before installing protection to start with a clean slate.
9. Will cleaning void my solar panel warranty?
If done correctly by a certified professional, cleaning will not void your warranty. Reputable cleaning services use approved methods that protect the panels, whereas, DIY cleaning with abrasive materials or high-pressure washers can damage the panels and void the warranty. This is why professional service is crucial.
10. How much does professional solar panel cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of your system, its accessibility, and the level of soiling. It is a cost-effective service considering the significant increase in energy production you'll gain. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific setup.
