How Often Should You Clean Your Solar Panels in Kerala – A Simple Guide by Solarmaster
You have made a great choice by switching to solar energy for your home or business in Kerala. But once your solar panels are installed, there’s one important thing you shouldn’t forget: regular cleaning.
If your panels are covered in dust, bird droppings, or leaves, they can’t work properly. Even a thin layer of dirt can block sunlight and reduce power generation.
In this blog, we’ll explain in plain, simple terms:
- Why do you need to clean your solar panels
- How often should you clean them
- What happens during a cleaning
- FAQs that most people ask
Why Cleaning Solar Panels is Important
Your solar panels collect sunlight and turn it into electricity. But Kerala’s climate brings dust, rain, salty air, and bird droppings that can cover your panels. When that happens, the panels can’t collect enough sunlight.
What Happens if You Don’t Clean?
- Less power from your solar system
- More time to recover your investment
- Possible long-term damage to the system
- Risk of losing warranty (some brands require proof of maintenance)
Think of solar cleaning like brushing your teeth small action, big difference.
Benefits of Regular Cleaning:
- Increases electricity production
- Keeps your panels healthy for years
- Saves money in the long run
- Keeps the system safe and working
How Often Should You Clean Solar Panels in Kerala?
Kerala has heavy rains, dry spells, and dusty areas. Based on that, here’s what we recommend:
- Homes: Clean once every 3 to 4 months
- Shops & offices: Clean once every 1 to 2 months
- Industries: Clean every month
But this can change depending on:
- Nearby trees or birds
- How slanted or flat your roof is
- How much dust and pollution are around
Tip from Solarmaster: Clean once before monsoon and once after for the best results.
