Tenka Power photovoltaic system cleaning

How often should a photovoltaic system be cleaned?

Answer from the Tenka Power expert꞉

Regular cleaning of your photovoltaic system is crucial to maximize the energy efficiency and service life of the solar modules. Tenka Power recommends cleaning the solar modules thoroughly at least once a year. In regions with high dust levels, heavy air pollution or many birds, more frequent cleaning may be advisable, for example two to three times a year.

Why is cleaning important?

Debris such as dust, leaves, bird droppings and other deposits can significantlyimpair the performance of your photovoltaic system. These residues block the incoming sunlight, making the solar cells work less efficiently and reducing electricity production. A clean surface ensures that the solar cells can optimally absorb sunlight and convert it into electrical energy.

How do you clean?

Cleaning should be carried out gently so as not to damage the solar modules. Use soft water and a mild soap solution as well as a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents and abrasive tools. Tenka Power offers instructions and supports PV installers in the proper care and maintenance of their photovoltaic systems.

Your advantages:

  1. Maximized energy yields: Clean solar modules ensure optimum energy production, which increases the profitability of your system.

  2. Increased longevity: Regular cleaning prevents long-term damage and wear, extending the service life of your photovoltaic system.

  3. Optimum efficiency: By removing dirt, the efficiency of the solar cells remains high, which contributes to the constant and reliable performance of your system.
