Solar Panel Maintenance Aberdeen
Solar panels are exposed to the elements all year round. Over time they accumulate dirt, bird droppings, leaves, pollen, and other debris that blocks sunlight and reduces their efficiency. Studies show that dirty panels can lose up to 25% of their energy output — that's money you're losing every day.
Regular cleaning and inspections ensure your panels continue generating at their maximum capacity, keeping your energy savings as high as possible.

How Often Should You Clean Your Solar Panels?
Most manufacturers recommend an annual inspection and clean to maintain optimal performance and protect your warranty. However, if your property is near trees, in an area with heavy bird activity, or exposed to more dust and debris, you may benefit from more frequent cleaning.
Bird Proofing
Pigeons and other birds nesting under solar panels is a common problem. Bird droppings reduce panel efficiency and nesting material can create fire risks. Professional bird proofing mesh can be installed around your panels to prevent birds from nesting underneath.
