SHOULD I CLEAN MY SOLAR PANELS?

Many homeowners ask the question, “Should I clean my solar panels on the roof?” Solar panels are generally self cleaning, but in particularly dry areas  like Bakersfield, dust, fire residue and other substances such as bird droppings can build up over time. This build up of substances impacts the amount electricity generated by a module. You should clean solar panels when you see the production falling.

Solar panel cleaning is not an easy DIY job.  There are several reasons for this. First, because most residential solar panels are mounted on roofs, they are not particularly accessible.  Accessing and walking around on the roof is the only way to clean the solar panels.  The risk of falling is increased when the roof gets wet during the cleaning process and then becomes slippery.  Second, water with a high mineral content, such as tap water in Bakersfield, can leave deposits behind and impede your solar output.
