How often to clean your solar panels in BCS

How often to clean your panels in BCS depends on where you are — dusty inland sites and salty coastal ones need it more often than others. Dust and salt form a film that quietly cuts output, so a sensible schedule keeps production where it should be. For most properties that's a few times a year, more in dustier spots.

Why cleaning matters

A film of dust or salt reduces production gradually, and it's easy to miss without monitoring. It's not a dramatic drop, but over a year it costs you energy and savings.

What sets your schedule

Coastal salt, inland dust, the dry season, and nearby construction or dirt roads all set the frequency. That's why the schedule is tailored to your site, not a single rule.

DIY, professional, or monitoring

A light rinse you can do yourself; a deeper cleaning is best left to professionals. Monitoring shows when output dips, and we can handle the cleaning on schedule so you don't have to keep track.
