Agricultural solar panel cleaning

Introduction

Optimising agricultural solar PV systems with expert solar panel cleaning services

Agricultural land and farm buildings provide ideal locations for large-scale agricultural solar PV installations, as high energy users this makes renewable solar energy an ideal solution for many farmers and agricultural business owners alike.

The following information outlines the reasons, benefits, and unique features of choosing Solar Panel Cleaning Services Ltd for your farm and agricultural solar panel cleaning services. With over a decade of experience we have established ourselves as leading solar panel cleaners, advisors, and trusted partners in the renewables industry.

Decade of Experience

Trusted expertise in agricultural module cleaning & efficiency optimisation

Agricultural solar PV systems often suffer the most from dirt accumulations given their busy site activities. This includes dust, soil, bird droppings, pollen, plant debris and lichen growth.

After more than a decade of providing solar panel cleaning services to our farming and agricultural clients, Solar Panel Cleaning Services Ltd understand firsthand the importance of preserving your solar PV investment and, in doing so, ensuring optimal solar panel performance and efficiency.

Safety & Compliance

Safely accessing solar panel systems and using eco-friendly cleaning solutions

Protecting Agricultural Solar PV Arrays

Agricultural solar panel installations are at risk from severe soiling; this is often seen as lichen build-up and heavy soiling that here at Solar Panel Cleaning Services Ltd we frequently identify on dairy farms, grain stores and poultry sheds. Large amounts of soiling not only causes cellular shading but may cause permanent staining and hotspots to develop, which in turn can lead to loacalised overheating and discolouration of the solar panel.

As one of the UK's very first solar panel cleaning providers, we offer a comprehensive range of panel cleaning techniques and equipment to protect your solar PV array and investment in clean, renewable energy. Whether you require a specialist lichen removal service, manual, mechanical or robotic clean, our certified solar panel cleaning team can provide a safe, flexible and nationwide service without any subcontracting.

Agricultural solar arrays may be installed on fragile roofs that are difficult and unsafe to access. Our in-house cleaning team are trained, licenced and experienced to clean from specialist access equipment and to select the most suitable cleaning equipment, frequency and processes for your site.

Our solar panel cleaning robots are an excellent solution where roof access is not permitted and our rotary brushes offer a perfect solution for any hard soiling.
Eco-Friendly Lichen Removal Experts

As professional solar panel cleaners with over a decade of experience in cleaning agricultural solar panel systems, we have observed an increasing prevalence of lichen on existing agricultural sites, likely caused by an inadequate cleaning frequency and combined with the good-quality air conditions we often see in the UK countryside. Because of its firmly rooted structure and the composite nature of algae and fungi, lichen poses a significant challenge in its removal from solar panels.

Removing lichen can be costly, and a highly biodegradable cleaning solution is required, necessitating close working proximity to the solar installation for effective cleaning. Therefore regular cleaning schedules are always preferred to prevent unnecessary costs further down the line and protect the efficiency of your solar PV array and investment.

We ensure that all our cleaning methods and maintenance approaches comply with manufacturer warranties, preventing warranty voiding from improper cleaning techniques and helping to preserve the lifetime of the system.
