Solar panels are designed to absorb the sun’s rays as a source of energy for generating electricity or heating.
Due to the upwards angle of solar panels, they are more prone to bird droppings, dust and dirt that does not wash off with just rain.
This build-up of dust, dirt, pollen, bird droppings and other debris reduce the amount of light hitting the panels and adversely affect optimal Solar Panel Efficiency.
Maintaining solar panels—a key part of solar power—is becoming increasingly important.
Solar power converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic(PV) panels.
However, when contaminants build up on the surface of these panels, they reduce the amount of sunlight that passes through, ultimately decreasing solar energy production.
To maximize its efficiency, it's essential to regularly remove dust, fine particles, bird droppings, and other pollutants from the solar panel surface.
According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, in regions frequently affected by soiling, solar systems can experience power losses of up to 25% in three months and 35% within a year if PV modules are not cleaned.
* What is Soiling?
Soiling refers to the accumulation of airborne debris such as fine dust, sand, and yellow dust on the surface of solar modules, reducing their efficiency.

How to Clean the Solar Panels efficiently

Using the Mob & Squeegee Wand accessories with the OPTIMA STEAMER, you can maintain solar panels with outstanding results.
The OPTIMA STEAMER’s powerful high-temperature, high-pressure superheated steam easily removes stubborn dirt, while the soft mop and squeegee finish the job without damaging the delicate surface of the panels.
The Mob & Squeegee accessories are available in three maximum lengths: 2.4m, 3.6m, and 5.5m, all with adjustable reach, making solar panel cleaning easier and more convenient.

For outdoor cleaning tasks like solar panel maintenance, we recommend the OPTIMA XD, our mobile, diesel-powered model.
It delivers the most powerful superheated steam even during long, continuous use, ensuring maximum cleaning efficiency.
With its moisture control valve, you can easily adjust between dry and wet steam depending on the level of contamination—removing dirt faster and more effectively.
Boost your solar energy output with the OPTIMA STEAMER.
