Your Local Solar Panel Cleaning Service For Hartlepool

Case Study Summary

At Mr Clever Clean, we excel at providing superior exterior cleaning services across Hartlepool. Recently, a homeowner approached us with a significant issue affecting their home’s solar panel system. Due to organic contamination on their roof, the solar panels were heavily affected, drastically reducing their efficiency. This project summary details how we brought back peak efficiency using our innovative softwashing approach.

Obstacles Faced

• Organic Contamination: The roof was infested with lichen, which spread to the solar panels, obscuring the cells and lowering their effectiveness.

• Reduced Energy Production: The customer’s remote display showed a considerable decline in energy output, potentially costing them money due to increased electricity prices during the ongoing energy cost increases.

• Need for Gentle Cleaning: The solar panels required a cleaning method that would not damage the delicate solar cells.

Our Approach

Upon being contacted, we performed a detailed inspection to evaluate the situation and determine the best cleaning strategy. We then offered a clear plan and estimate, which they approved. Here’s a summary of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We examined the affected areas, confirming significant lichen growth. We outlined our cleaning method and why it’s ideal for solar panels. We also recommended a later roof clean to stop lichen regrowth.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: The customer chose to start with the solar panels, scheduling the roof cleaning for a later date. We prepared our softwashing equipment and arrived on the scheduled day.

3. Softwashing Application: Using our state-of-the-art softwashing tools, we applied a targeted wash agent to the solar panels. The solution was formulated for thorough and safe cleaning. We let it settle on the panels for at least 30+ minutes to ensure effective treatment.

4. Gentle Cleaning with Water-Fed Pole: After the solution had sufficiently dwelled, we used a water-fed pole with a soft brush to safely brush off the buildup. This method provided complete removal of grime without any chance of harming the panel surface.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: After wrapping up the cleaning, we did a thorough rinse to ensure all residues were removed. The customer was invited to inspect the solar panels, and they showed us the significant improvement in their energy production as displayed on their remote system.

Transformation

The improvement was outstanding. The lichen was eradicated from the panel surface, returning them to pristine condition and enhancing performance. The customer was thrilled by the efficiency boost, which meant lower energy costs.
