Your Local Solar Panel Cleaning Service For West Hampstead

Case Study Summary

At Mr Clever Clean, we are dedicated to providing superior exterior cleaning services across West Hampstead. Recently, a homeowner approached us with a pressing concern affecting their array of solar panels. Due to lichen growth on the roof, the solar panels were compromised, limiting their performance. This project summary details how we restored their solar panels’ performance using our innovative softwashing approach.

Obstacles Faced

• Organic Contamination: The roof was contaminated with lichen, which spread to the solar 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 cost of living crisis.

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

Solution

Upon being reached out to, we carried out a comprehensive assessment to understand the contamination level and identify the ideal cleaning method. 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 examined the affected areas, noting the lichen spread onto the panels. We discussed our softwashing technique with the customer and how it would sanitize and clean the panels without causing damage. We also recommended a later roof clean to prevent further cross-contamination.

2. Scheduling and Preparation: The customer opted to clean the panels initially, scheduling the roof cleaning for a later date. We assembled our softwashing system 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 allowed it to dwell on the panels for at least 30+ minutes to ensure effective treatment.

4. Gentle Cleaning with Water-Fed Pole: After the solution settled in, 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 did a thorough rinse to make certain the panels were residue-free. The customer was invited to inspect the solar panels, and they showed us the significant improvement in their energy production as displayed on their remote system.

Transformation

The improvement was outstanding. The lichen was fully cleared from the panels, restoring them to their original condition and boosting energy output. The customer was very pleased with the higher energy output, which translated to significant savings on their electricity bill.
