We’d all love to have our car cleaned by leaving it out in the rain. Simple. Unfortunately though, dust, general grime and pollution all form a fine seal over the car that often becomes thicker with rainfall. Likewise, leaving your solar panels to be ‘washed by the rain’ doesn’t clean solar panels either. Regular cleaning is a form of preventative maintenance for solar panels, helping panels to remain free of hotspots, minimising microcracks and ensuring maximum energy efficiency of your solar system.

Elements such as wind and snow can be enough over time to stress solar panels. The effects produced by stress that appear on solar panels are  commonly called hot spots and microcracks.
