How Often to Clean Solar Panels in Florida: A 2024 Guide for Optimal Efficiency

August 31, 20244 min read

Florida is known as the Sunshine State, making it a great place for solar energy. However, the state’s climate also means your solar panels need special care. As more Floridians start using solar power in 2024, it’s crucial to know how often to clean your panels. Did you know that dirty solar panels can lose up to 25% of their power? Keeping them clean ensures you get the most out of your solar investment. At Soligo, we offer year-round cleaning services to help your panels stay in top shape.

How Florida's Climate Affects Solar Panels

The weather in Florida, with its high humidity and frequent rainfall, can lead to challenges like dirt and grime buildup on solar panels. Coastal areas face additional issues with salt spray, while rural and wooded areas deal with pollen and debris. Bird droppings and storm debris also commonly affect solar panels, and shaded areas can see algae growth.

Signs That Your Solar Panels Need Cleaning

  • Decrease in energy output

  • Visible dirt, grime, or streaks on panels

  • Higher electricity bills despite sunny weather

  • Shadows or dark spots on the panels

How Often to Clean Solar Panels in Florida

Generally, solar panels in Florida should be cleaned 2-4 times a year. In coastal areas, more frequent cleaning every 2-3 months is recommended due to salt exposure. In rural or wooded areas, cleaning every 3-4 months helps manage pollen and debris. Urban areas may require cleaning 2-3 times a year, especially after long dry spells.

Factors That Affect Cleaning Frequency

Several factors influence how often you should clean your solar panels, including your proximity to the coast, the amount of surrounding vegetation, and the activity of local wildlife. The angle of your panels and recent weather conditions, such as droughts or heavy storms, also play a role in determining cleaning needs.

Tips for Cleaning Solar Panels

  • Clean solar panels in the early morning or late evening to avoid direct sunlight, which can dry cleaning solutions too quickly.

  • Use soft water to prevent mineral deposits on the panels.

  • Employ a soft brush or squeegee with a long handle to avoid scratches.

  • For elevated or difficult-to-reach panels, consider hiring a professional for safety.

Should You Clean Solar Panels Yourself or Hire a Pro?

Deciding whether to clean your solar panels yourself or hire a professional depends on several factors. While DIY cleaning might seem like a good way to save money, it often requires investing in the right equipment, and it can be time-consuming and physically demanding. For homes with elevated or hard-to-reach panels, safety is also a significant concern—you want to avoid the risk of falls and injuries.

With Soligo, professional cleaning is both affordable and hassle-free. Our team specializes in solar panel maintenance, ensuring a thorough cleaning without the stress. We handle the entire process, so you save time and energy. The great thing about Florida is that the frequent rain helps keep your panels relatively clean. However, our semi-annual check-ups ensure that any stubborn dirt or grime is fully removed. Think of it like a visit to the dentist—regular check-ups help prevent major issues down the road. Soligo’s bi-annual service keeps your panels in top condition, so your system stays efficient year-round without any extra effort from you.

How to Keep Solar Panels Efficient Between Cleanings

To maintain efficiency, regularly inspect your solar panels for dirt and damage, and trim any nearby trees or vegetation that might block sunlight. Installing critter guards can prevent animals from nesting near your panels, and monitoring your system’s output can help you spot any unexpected drops in performance.

Wrapping It Up

Keeping your solar panels clean is essential for maximizing the benefits of Florida’s abundant sunshine. By following this guide, you’ll ensure your solar system operates efficiently throughout 2024 and beyond. Clean panels not only produce more energy but also have a longer lifespan.

At Soligo, we understand that keeping your panels clean year-round can be challenging, which is why we offer cleaning services to ensure your system is always performing its best. Don’t let dirt reduce your energy savings—keep your panels clean and your bills low!
