If it has been a while since you had your solar panel system cleaned, a cleaning done right can be very beneficial to your system.
So when is the best time of year to have your solar panel cleaning scheduled?
If its been a long while, sooner than later is ideal. If you can though, timing the cleaning closer to the fall works out best. Here is why. Many homeowners reason a cleaning done in the spring makes the most sense going into the sunny summer months. While not a bad time to do it, there is a more ideal time of year to have them done. Late FALL!
I’ll explain why doing your solar cleaning in later fall has several benefits.
1. Your solar panels accumulate the most debris during the spring and summer months.
2. In California particuarly, there is always a chance of ash accumulation during fire season which is usually summer and early fall.
3. As days get shorter going into fall and winter, your solar system will benefit most from the added sun exposure a thorough cleaning can give. There are exceptions depending on your location, landscape, etc.
