aboutus
With the continuous load shedding & price increases, it is no surprise that more & more home owners & businesses are moving over to solar. Installing solar panels is an expensive investment & therefore regular maintenance is required to maximise your efficiency & not void your warranty.
​
This is why Grime Away Solar Panel Cleaning has added a new service & invested in the best solar cleaning equipment from Germany. Cleantecs SOLA-TECS is the most used system in Europe, and we are now officially the first in Cape Town to have it.
Why Do I Need To Clean My Solar Panels?
Solar panels work by converting light into electricity. If there is dirt on the surface of your solar panel, it can reduce how much light is absorbed by that area, reducing efficiency.
​
Cleaning your solar panels regularly reduces dust, debris, & other contaminants such as bird droppings, lichen & bugs which could further reduce efficiency by 15-30%
Soft shading is shading that is always on the move , such as a tree branch or chimney.
​
Hard shading is a fixed point of shade that does not move, such as lichen, bird droppings or any other object that is resting on the panels.
​
If your panels are not professionally cleaned regularly, these hard shadings will cause hot spots which will overheat the cells & can lead to back sheet damage and less efficiency.
Myth Busted!!
Rain contains airborne dust particles that settle & attach to the surface after the rain water evaporates & in some areas calcium & hard water deposits.
​
A good example would be a windscreen of your car after heavy downpours. If this is left untreated for some time, you will eventually be unable to see through your windscreen.

Bird Proofing
The gap between your roof and solar panels creates an ideal place for pigeons to nest and take shelter. Not only do they make an awful mess with there droppings on the roof but also on the panels itself. This could possibly cause shading and hot spots which will lower your efficiency and potentially damage your panels.
Nesting underneath the panels also becomes a huge fire hazard.

A professional grade black PVC coated galvanized steal mesh will be installed to deter pigeons & other critters.
High Pressure Cleaning
Power washing can save your driveway from harmful growth. If you do not keep your driveway clean, it can grow algae, mold, moss, mildew, all of which can result in the need for repairs.
