Solar Panel Cleaning Process
Solar Panel Cleaning Step 1 - Inspect the solar panels on a periodic basis (frequency depends on location or the manufacturer's specifications) to remove any debris and dirt and ensure all connections are tight.
Solar Panel Cleaning Step 2 - Solar Panels installed in dusty areas may require more frequent inspection, so once a month is recommend.
Solar Panel Cleaning Step 3 - Clean the surface of a solar panel with a certified solar panel cleaning solution to remove any accumulation of dirt and grime. Do not clean with soap and water, because different soaps contain different elements that can be very harmful to your solar panels.
Step 4 - Remove any bird droppings, or heavy accumulation of debris because they can severely reduce the panel's energy-producing capacity.

Sacramento most mature trees
Sacramento is second in the world to the most mature trees next to France which simply means the panels in Sacramento get dirty faster. Accumulation of pollen, leaves, dust, wild fires, bird droppings, daily emissions and other debris will effect the panels which cause their efficiency to drop significantly over time. Research will show you that dirty panels run hotter, and work harder, which will contribute to the reduction of power and will also impact the life of your panels.
Solar panels at your home
The Solar panels at your home or business are very similar windows, they get dirty very quickly from rain and dust. Research has been done and proven that PV panels which are cleaned on a regular basis can provide between 10% - 66% more efficiency, depending on the panel and the area your panel is positioned. Keeping your investment of solar panels operating at its peek performance level is an important part in helping them to provide you with more power.
