Solar Panel Maintainence with Swift Cornerstone

Solar panels must be well maintained to ensure they work optimally

With the advent of solar panel technology now being commonly used throughout the UK, we are seeing great steps toward producing clean, renewable and environmentally friendly energy.

To ensure the installed solar panels work at their optimum it is of crucial importance that they are well maintained and kept clean. Industry experts believe unclean panels can lose up to 25%-30% of their efficiency. That would mean 1 out of 4, or even 1 out of 3 panels would be producing no energy at all, which equals a great financial loss.

The surface of the solar panel is made of glass, and needs to be kept just as clean as a window to work at their optimum potential. As solar panels face upwards they are especially prone to collecting many forms of dirt such as general pollution, traffic dust, fallen leaves and even bird droppings. This cannot always be seen clearly from a ground level view. The condition of the panel can only be accurately assessed from the ideal bird's eye view inspection.

 

Swift Cornerstone's solar panel maintenance service

Much like windows, rain water is insufficient to actually clean the solar panel, which requires its own specific process. During the summer months, where energy generation is at its peak time of the year and rain is at its minimum (even in the UK!) cleaning is at its most important.

Rest assured whatever your requirements are, Swift Cornerstone has the experience, reputation and know how to maintain your solar panels, and keep them at optimum condition to ensure that they work at maximum efficiency and produce the greatest energy and financial savings they were engineered to produce.
