Make My Solar Panels Clean
Revolusun Solar Panel Cleaning
Hawaii’s beautiful environment also brings challenges for solar panels—salt from ocean breezes, dust, and debris from tropical vegetation can build up and block sunlight. This buildup reduces efficiency and impacts your energy savings. Regular cleaning ensures your system runs at full capacity, giving you the best return on your investment. Let Revolusun handle the dirty work so your panels stay clean and powerful all year long!
We Know Our Island
How Often Should I Clean My Solar Panels in Honolulu?
The frequency of solar panel cleaning in Hawaii depends on various factors, from the tilt of your solars, to environmental factors including proximity to the ocean, major roads or highways, proximity to agricultural farms and new housing developments that increase dust levels, and organic debris. Here are some guidelines based on location
Oahu Specific Environmental Factors Leading to Buildup on Solar Panels
Proximity to the ocean exposes solar panels to salt-laden air, which can lead to salt deposits accumulating on the surface. This layer of salt not only reduces sunlight absorption but can also cause long-term corrosion if left unchecked.
Tropical trade winds often carry fine dust and dirt particles from surrounding areas. These particles settle on solar panels, creating a film that diminishes their ability to capture sunlight.
Hawaii’s lush vegetation, including nearby trees and flowering plants, contributes to the buildup of pollen, leaves, and bird droppings on solar panels. Organic debris can create sticky, hard-to-remove layers that block sunlight.
In areas close to volcanic activity, such as the Big Island, ash particles can settle on solar panels. This type of soiling is especially abrasive and requires specialized cleaning to avoid scratching the panel surfaces.
While rain is a natural cleaner for solar panels, frequent showers in Hawaii can leave behind mineral deposits and water stains, particularly if the rainwater mixes with existing dust or salt deposits.
Signs You Need Your Solar Panels Cleaned in Hawaii
Keeping solar panels clean is crucial for maintaining their efficiency. Here are some signs that your solar panels may require cleaning:
Noticeable Drop in Energy Production
If your solar system’s output is significantly lower than usual, it could be a result of accumulated dirt, dust, or debris. Monitoring your energy production through your solar system’s app or inverter can help identify any sudden drops that indicate soiling.
Visible Dirt or Debris
A quick visual inspection can reveal if your panels are covered in dust, bird droppings, salt residue, or organic matter. Even a thin layer of dirt can reduce sunlight penetration, affecting energy output.
Water Spots or Streaks
Frequent rain showers in Hawaii can leave behind mineral deposits or streaks, especially if the rainwater mixes with salt or dust already present on the panels.
Seasonal Changes
Certain times of the year, such as spring or summer, may bring increased pollen, foliage debris, or volcanic ash in specific areas. If you notice these seasonal elements accumulating on your panels, it’s time for a cleaning.
Environmental Proximity Issues
Homes near the coast often experience salt spray buildup, while those near vegetation may see more bird droppings and organic debris. If you’re located in one of these areas, cleaning is likely needed more frequently.
Inconsistent System Performance
If some panels in your array are performing differently than others, it could indicate localized soiling that needs to be addressed.
Cleaning your panels promptly when these signs appear can restore energy efficiency and protect your investment. RevoluSun recommends professional inspections and cleanings tailored to Hawaii’s unique environment.
Before & After
Before-and-After Solar Panel Cleaning Results: It is as Clear as Day
Cleaning your solar panels can make all the difference in the world in power output before and after cleaning. Many times, visual inspections give an idea of how much dirt has built up, but the real proof is in the numbers:
Before Cleaning:
The voltage of the solar panel may read lower because the sun is “blocked by built-up debris.”
After Cleaning:
Voltage readings normally go up, showing immediate changes following the removal of debris.
