How Often to Clean Solar Panels in Lake Country
Frankly, some panels do not need to be cleaned often. Frequency largely depends on the pitch of your roof. Panels at a steep angle are mostly cleaned by the rain. If you are finding that your panels are not producing like they used to, we would be happy to clean them for you. We're your neighbours and our goal is to care for your home, not take your money. Regular, gentle cleaning prevents hard-water spots and mineral stains that can permanently etch the glass.
How We Clean Your Panels
At Falconhurst Property Services, we use a pure-water, water-fed pole system designed for solar panels and upper windows. The pole extends safely from the ground, roof apex, or a ladder so we never step on your array, and the purified, de-ionized water leaves a spot-free, streak-free finish with no detergents or residue. This method meets manufacturer warranty guidelines and is environmentally safe. Each cleaning includes a visual inspection of panel edges and mounting hardware for obvious debris or nesting material.
Protecting Your Panels and the Blue Hue
Most modern solar panels have an anti-reflective (AR) coating that gives them their signature blue or bluish-purple hue. This coating boosts energy absorption but can be damaged by abrasive pads, harsh brushes, or unfiltered tap water. We clean using soft nylon brushes and purified water only, protecting that delicate surface. By avoiding abrasion and mineral deposits, your panels retain their color and optical clarity for decades, maintaining both appearance and power output. We only use methods that will not scratch your panels.
