Try to inspect and wash the panels in the morning to reduce drastic temperature changes.

I have a solar panel system which had been up for almost 5 years. At the time of insulation there was NO words mentioned about maintenance suggestions for mine or any system!! Do we not ask the right questions! As we live near the river and Ocean I took a punt on the reason why my utility bill had just gotten high (couldnt blame it all on the higher cost of living and personal usage)and did some research and cleaned the panels for the first time in Oct’11(our spring). My god they were dirty. We started to do regular monitoring of our input plus put the cleaning of the panels on a regular monthly schedule till the weather changes(which should be about June). Result – Amazing … it is now the end of our first billing schedule since cleaning – We have more than doubled the input (part of that will be seasonal) compared to similar billing period for the past 2 years. Little time and effort makes a big difference but I still ponder why simple maintenance discussion did not happen at time of purchase!

The panels become practically self cleaning. It would help this system reduce water consumption and prevent sap and bird residue from sticking.

This solution contains biodegradable materials as well as a special sheeting agent so solar modules dry spot-free and stay clean for several months. PowerBoost is also eco-friendly!

We use super purified water with a additive that helps the solar panels self clean.
The automated cleaning systems are good if you have the money for them, but I would still recommend having them cleaned by a professional at least once every 1-2 years because those automated systems can not scrub the bird droppings, pollution, and fly/spider dropping that get baked onto the panels.
There is much more information about solar panel cleaning on our website. Hope it helps.

It is almost impossible for me to consistently clean my solar panels.

So I went with a company known as Simple Solar Cleaning Systems, they set me up with an automated solar panel cleaning kit in just one day! The best part? It only cost me $1,500!
