Your Local Solar Panel Cleaning Service For Maidstone

Case Study Summary

At Mr Clever Clean, we excel at providing top-notch exterior cleaning services across Maidstone. Recently, a customer approached us with a pressing concern affecting their array of solar panels. Due to lichen growth on the roof, the solar panels were heavily affected, limiting their performance. This project summary details how we restored their solar panels’ performance using our advanced softwashing technique.

Obstacles Faced

• Organic Contamination: The roof was contaminated with lichen, which cross-contaminated the panels, blocking sunlight and lowering their effectiveness.

• Reduced Energy Production: The customer’s remote display indicated a substantial drop in energy production, potentially increasing their electricity bills during the current economic climate.

• Need for Gentle Cleaning: The solar panels needed a gentle yet effective cleaning method.

Cleaning Process

Upon being called, we conducted a thorough site survey to understand the contamination level and develop an optimal cleaning plan. We then offered a clear plan and estimate, which they accepted. Here’s a detailed breakdown of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We evaluated the condition of the solar panels and the roof, confirming significant lichen growth. We outlined our cleaning method and how it would sanitize and clean the panels without causing damage. 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 prepared our softwashing equipment and started work as planned.

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 half an hour to ensure effective treatment.

4. Gentle Cleaning with Water-Fed Pole: After the solution had sufficiently dwelled, we used a gentle-bristled pole to safely brush off the buildup. This method provided complete removal of grime without any risk of damaging the solar cells.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: After completing the cleaning process, we performed a last wash to eliminate any leftover solution. The customer was invited to inspect the solar panels, and they shared the increased efficiency results as displayed on their remote system.

Outcome

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