If the solar panel is not clear, it will lose at least 30% of its power generation efficiency in a medium dust environment for a month. More than 60% of power generation efficiency is directly lost during dust storms. Even places with a good environment face a 10% loss.
The importance of clean solar panels
Regular cleaning of household solar panels is essential to maintain their efficiency and ensure maximum energy production. Dust, dirt, bird droppings and other debris can accumulate on the surface of solar panels, forming a barrier that prevents sunlight from penetrating. This in turn weakens the panel’s ability to convert sunlight effectively into electricity.
Solar panels are usually installed at an Angle to effectively capture sunlight. However, this slanted positioning can also make them prone to accumulating debris, especially in areas with high levels of air pollutants or dust. Over time, the buildup of dirt and grime can seriously affect the performance of solar panels, leading to a decrease in energy output and potentially impacting the overall return on investment.
The impact of dirty solar panels on energy production
The efficiency of solar panels is directly related to their cleanliness. Studies have shown that even a thin layer of dirt or dust can reduce the efficiency of solar panels by up to 20 percent. This reduction in efficiency means lower energy production and can result in financial losses for solar panel owners over time.
Debris on solar panels can form hot spots, which are localized heating due to uneven sunlight absorption. These hot spots not only reduce power generation, but also damage solar cells and reduce the life of panels.
