How often should solar panels be cleaned?

Our professional advice: get solar panels cleaning at least once a year.

Why annual cleaning?

  • You avoid permanent yield losses.

  • Dirt that accumulates becomes harder to remove and can cause damage.

  • Annual cleaning keeps many installers’ warranty terms valid.

Extra attention needed at:

  • Rural areas (more dust and pollen)

  • Cities (more air pollution)

  • Roofs with a small pitch (water does not wash away dirt as well)

Important tips:

  • Have a specialist clean with osmosis water.

  • Avoid high-pressure sprays or aggressive cleaning agents yourself.

  • Ideally, combine cleaning with an annual technical inspection.

Conclusion:
If you take your solar panels seriously, schedule an annual professional cleaning. That way, you will remain assured of optimal performance and a long service life.
