Your Local Solar Panel Cleaning Service For Salford

Case Study Summary

At Mr Clever Clean, we are dedicated to providing high-quality exterior cleaning services across Salford. Recently, a homeowner approached us with a major problem affecting their six solar panels. Due to roof contamination from organic buildup, the solar panels were cross-contaminated, lowering energy output. This case study details how we brought back peak efficiency using our advanced softwashing technique.

Obstacles Faced

• Organic Contamination: The roof was contaminated with lichen, which transferred to the panels, masking the solar cells and lowering their effectiveness.

• Reduced Energy Production: The customer’s remote display indicated a substantial drop in energy production, potentially leading to higher energy expenses 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 contacted, we conducted a thorough site survey to assess the extent of the contamination and develop an optimal cleaning plan. We then offered a clear plan and estimate, which they approved. Here’s a step-by-step overview of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We evaluated the condition of the solar panels and the roof, noting the lichen spread onto the panels. We discussed our softwashing technique with the customer and why it’s ideal for solar panels. We also suggested a future roof cleaning to avoid recurrence.

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 let it settle on the panels for at least half an hour to maximize its effect.

4. Gentle Cleaning with Water-Fed Pole: After the solution had sufficiently dwelled, we used a soft-brushed water 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 wrapping up the cleaning, we conducted a final rinse to ensure all residues were removed. The customer was asked to review the work, and they shared the increased efficiency results as displayed on their remote system.

Results

The improvement was remarkable. The lichen was fully cleared from the panels, 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.
