“SolarService,” in order to ensure uninterrupted operation, longevity, and high productivity—and consequently, profitability—of photovoltaic parks, offers cleaning, maintenance, and comprehensive, proper, and regular inspection programs for installations of any capacity throughout Greece.

It is estimated that dust accumulation on the surface of the panels, in addition to reducing the equipment’s lifespan, is responsible for an annual reduction in production and, consequently, lost profits in the range of 15–18%. Cleaning costs account for only a small portion of these losses.

To maximize the performance of your photovoltaic system, cleaning should be performed at least twice a year: in March/April, after the rainy season has passed, and in August/September, at the end of summer.

Cleaning procedures include cutting back weeds and pruning trees.

This is done for two main reasons. First, because the shade cast by tall weeds or trees significantly reduces the system’s output. When a panel is shaded, the entire string loses a significant amount of output. Second, because tall grass creates a significantly higher risk of fire.

Warning!
If the panels are not cleaned, a layer of dirt will build up over time, which will be very difficult to remove and will result in a drastic reduction in the system’s efficiency.
