How Often to Clean Solar Panels: Optimizing Efficiency in 2024

How Often to Clean Solar Panels: Optimizing Efficiency in 2024

Did you know that dirty solar panels can lose up to 25% efficiency? A 2023 NREL study found that accumulated dust and debris create what engineers call the "soiling effect," essentially forcing your panels to work harder while producing less power. But here's the kicker – most homeowners aren't cleaning often enough... or worse, they're cleaning too much and damaging their systems. [2023-03-25 02:38]
