Your Local Solar Panel Cleaning Service For Kingston upon Thames

Case Study Summary

At Mr Clever Clean, we specialize in providing high-quality exterior cleaning services across Kingston upon Thames. Recently, a homeowner approached us with a major problem affecting their array of solar panels. Due to lichen growth on the roof, the solar panels were heavily affected, lowering energy output. This report details how we renewed their panels’ functionality using our innovative softwashing approach.

Customer Challenges

• Organic Contamination: The roof was infested with lichen, which spread to the solar panels, blocking sunlight and significantly reducing their efficiency.

• Reduced Energy Production: The customer’s remote display indicated a substantial drop in energy production, potentially costing them money due to increased electricity prices during the cost of living crisis.

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

Our Approach

Upon being reached out to, we performed a detailed inspection to understand the contamination level and determine the best cleaning strategy. 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 inspected both the panels and the roof, confirming significant lichen growth. We discussed our softwashing technique with the customer and how it would sanitize and clean the panels without causing damage. We also suggested a future roof cleaning to stop lichen regrowth.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: The customer decided to proceed with the solar panel cleaning first, 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 effective at removing organic buildup. We left it to work on the surfaces for at least 30+ minutes to fully treat the contamination.

4. Gentle Cleaning with Water-Fed Pole: After the solution had sufficiently dwelled, we used a gentle-bristled pole to gently remove the contaminants. This method left the panels spotless 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 eliminate any leftover solution. The customer was asked to review the work, and they showed us the significant improvement in their energy production as displayed on their remote system.

Outcome

The change was exceptional. The lichen was fully cleared from the panels, returning them to pristine condition and greatly improving their efficiency. The customer was delighted with the immediate increase in energy production, which meant lower energy costs.
