Your Local Solar Panel Cleaning Service For Swansea

Case Study Summary

At Mr Clever Clean, we are dedicated to providing high-quality exterior cleaning services across Swansea. Recently, a client approached us with a pressing concern affecting their six solar panels. Due to lichen growth on the roof, the solar panels were heavily affected, lowering energy output. This case study details how we brought back peak efficiency using our innovative softwashing approach.

Customer Challenges

• Organic Contamination: The roof was infested with lichen, which cross-contaminated the panels, blocking sunlight and significantly reducing their efficiency.

• Reduced Energy Production: The customer’s remote display revealed a drop in efficiency, potentially leading to higher energy expenses during the current economic climate.

• Need for Gentle Cleaning: The solar panels needed careful handling to avoid damage.

Our Approach

Upon being contacted, we carried out a comprehensive assessment to assess the extent of the contamination and identify the ideal cleaning method. We then provided the customer with a detailed proposal, 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, identifying heavy lichen infestation on the panels. We discussed our softwashing technique with the customer and its gentle effectiveness. 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 tailored solution to the solar panels. The solution was formulated for thorough and safe cleaning. We left it to work on the surfaces for at least half an hour to fully treat the contamination.

4. Gentle Cleaning with Water-Fed Pole: After the solution had sufficiently dwelled, we used a soft-brushed water pole to carefully clean the panels. This method ensured thorough cleaning without any risk of damaging the solar cells.

5. Final Inspection and Customer Sign-Off: After finishing the project, we did a thorough 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 change was outstanding. The lichen was fully cleared from the panels, returning them to pristine condition and boosting energy output. The customer was delighted with the immediate increase in energy production, which translated to significant savings on their electricity bill.
