Cleaning solar panels: why solar farms and businesses need a different approach

Cleaning solar panels is important for a good energy yield, but the approach differs significantly between private panels and large installations on solar parks, solar panels in industry, on logistics or distribution centres, on roofs of business premises or the agricultural sector. In this article, we discuss why and how solar parks and businesses need a specialised approach to cleaning their solar panels.

The unique challenges of large-scale solar installations

Solar farms and companies with large numbers of solar panels face specific challenges:

1. Scale: Cleaning hundreds or thousands of panels requires an efficient approach.

2. Accessibility: Large facilities are often difficult to access.

3. Time pressure: It is important to carry out cleaning quickly to reduce energy losses.

4. Specific contamination: Industrial environments can lead to stubborn contamination.

4. Customised vehicles: for example, we deploy a customised fire truck for fast and efficient cleaning of large areas.

Why standard cleaning methods are not enough

Private cleaning methods and companies are often not suitable or adequately equipped for solar farms and large commercial installations because:

1. Inefficient for large areas

2. Risk of damage to panels

3. Inadequate equipment for hard-to-reach places

4. Lack of expertise in dealing with industrial pollution
