Solar panels are designed to require very little maintenance and repairs. However, in order to achieve maximum efficiency and output, it is important to keep solar panels clean and free from dust. Dust accumulation can reduce the output efficiency of solar panels by up to 6.5%, and in some regions such as the Middle East, this reduction can be as much as 40%. Many people ask us how to clean solar panels in the UK. In this blog, we will discuss several methods for cleaning solar panels at home, including using clear water, detergent, a high-quality soft brush, or soapy water. So, let’s take a closer look at each of the cleaning methods.

Have you ever considered generating energy from your room’s window, car’s windshield, or a building’s glass facade? It may sound unusual, but it is now possible with transparent solar panels. The University of Michigan first developed transparent solar panel in 2014, though with a less efficiency rate of only 5 percent, considerably lower than traditional solar photovoltaic cells.

The advancement of solar energy has been truly remarkable compared to other renewable energy sources. It shines brightly as an environmentally friendly and affordable energy option. The cost of installing solar panels in the UK has significantly decreased as more manufacturers have entered the solar industry, resulting in a 75 to 80% decrease since June, 2008. This decrease makes solar energy much more cost-effective.
