Your Local Solar Panel Cleaning Service For Stockton-on-Tees

Case Study Summary

At Mr Clever Clean, we are dedicated to providing high-quality exterior cleaning services across Stockton-on-Tees. Recently, a customer 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, drastically reducing their efficiency. This case study details how we brought back peak efficiency using our advanced softwashing technique.

Obstacles Faced

• Organic Contamination: The roof was infested with lichen, which cross-contaminated the panels, blocking sunlight and hindering energy production.

• 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 ongoing energy cost increases.

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

Our Approach

Upon being contacted, we carried out a comprehensive assessment to evaluate the situation and develop an optimal cleaning plan. We then offered a clear plan and estimate, which they agreed to. Here’s a summary of our process:

1. Initial Site Survey: We examined the affected areas, noting the lichen spread onto the panels. We outlined our cleaning method and why it’s ideal for solar panels. We also recommended a later roof clean to avoid recurrence.

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 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 designed to sanitize and break down the organic contaminants. We let it settle on the panels 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 safely brush off the buildup. This method left the panels spotless without any threat to the solar cells.

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 encouraged to check the panels, and they shared the increased efficiency results as displayed on their remote system.

Results

The transformation was remarkable. 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 helped offset rising energy expenses.
