What Are Solar Panels and How Do They Work?
Why Clean Solar Panels Are Crucial
Solar Panel Maintenance Basics
Caring for solar panels means more than keeping them clean, it also includes routine checks:
- Clean panels every 6–12 months (more in dusty or coastal areas)
- Inspect systems annually for damage or wear
- Monitor performance regularly to catch issues early
This approach ensures that your solar panels remain reliable, last longer, and save you from unnecessary repair costs.
DIY vs. Professional Solar Panel Cleaning
If your panels are easy and safe to reach, you can clean them using:
- Soft brush or sponge
- Hose with gentle spray
- Mild, non-abrasive soap
- No high-pressure washers or harsh chemicals
However, if your panels are installed on a steep or high roof, or if you would prefer not to take the risk, professional cleaning is both safer and far more effective.

Safety Considerations for Cleaning Solar Panels
Cleaning solar panels that are mounted on rooftops can be dangerous, with the possibility of falls, slips, or electrical hazards. Always use:
- A stable ladder
- Rubber-soled shoes
- Harness for steep roofs
- Eye and hand protection
If you are uncertain about performing the task safely, call Tropical Pressure Cleaning and allow Flash to complete the work with careful, precise attention.

Solar Cleaning and Optimal Energy Production
