Your Local Solar Panel Cleaning Service For Grantham

Case Study Summary

At Mr Clever Clean, we excel at providing superior exterior cleaning services across Grantham. Recently, a client approached us with a significant issue affecting their six solar panels. Due to organic contamination on their roof, the solar panels were compromised, limiting their performance. This case study details how we renewed their panels’ functionality using our specialized soft wash method.

Issues Encountered

• Organic Contamination: The roof was contaminated with lichen, which spread to the solar panels, obscuring the cells and hindering energy production.

• Reduced Energy Production: The customer’s remote display revealed a drop in efficiency, 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.

Solution

Upon being contacted, we performed a detailed inspection to understand the contamination level and identify the ideal cleaning method. We then offered a clear plan and estimate, which they accepted. Here’s a step-by-step overview of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We examined the affected areas, confirming significant lichen growth. We explained our softwashing approach and its gentle effectiveness. We also proposed cleaning the roof later 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 set up our tools and began the cleaning on the appointed date.

3. Softwashing Application: Using our specialized soft wash equipment, we applied a specialized cleaning solution to the solar panels. The solution was designed to sanitize and break down the organic contaminants. We left it to work on the surfaces for at least 30+ minutes to maximize its effect.

4. Gentle Cleaning with Water-Fed Pole: After the solution was left to work, we used a soft-brushed water pole to carefully clean the panels. This method left the panels spotless without any risk of damaging the solar cells.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: After finishing the project, we conducted a final rinse to eliminate any leftover solution. The customer was asked to review the work, and they revealed the improved output on their remote display as displayed on their remote system.

Outcome

The improvement was remarkable. The lichen was eradicated from the panel surface, bringing back their original look and enhancing performance. The customer was very pleased with the higher energy output, which meant lower energy costs.
