Maximise Solar Energy Output with XTX Limited
Solar panels are a significant investment for any home or business. However, many owners aren't aware that environmental soiling - such as bird droppings, dust, lichen and traffic film - can reduce energy output by 25% or more. I provide a specialist, tradesman-led solar panel cleaning service. Having spent my early career as a qualified electrician, I bring a technical understanding of solar arrays that goes far beyond a simple "wash and go." I ensure your system operates at peak efficiency while strictly adhering to manufacturer warranty requirements.
Why Professional Cleaning is Essential
Solar panels are "self-cleaning" only to a limited extent. In the UK, rainfall is rarely heavy enough to remove stubborn organic growth or industrial grime.
- Prevent "Hot Spots": Bird droppings and heavy lichen don't just block light; they can cause "hot spots" on the cells. My background in a technical trade means I understand how these localised areas of high resistance can lead to permanent cell damage.
- Maintain Your Warranty: Most manufacturers specify that panels must be cleaned using non-abrasive methods. I use Pure Water and solar-specific soft brushes to ensure no scratches or chemical residues are left behind.
- Optimise ROI: If your panels are dirty, you are losing a large chunk of your energy savings. A professional clean often pays for itself through increased generation.
The XTX Limited Technical Approach
I don't just "hose down" your panels. I follow a structured, safe process to ensure the best results:
- Technical Inspection: I start with a visual inspection of the array and the mounting system, checking for any obvious signs of damage or loose wiring.
- Pure Water Technology: I use a specialist filtration system to produce 100% Pure Water. This ensures a spot-free, crystal-clear finish without the need for harsh detergents that can actually attract more dirt over time.
- Solar-Safe Solutions: For heavy organic growth or lichen, I use specialised, biodegradable, and manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions that are safe for the glass and the aluminium frames.
- Reach & Wash System: My water-fed poles allow me to clean most roof-mounted arrays safely from the ground or a tower, avoiding the need for ladders or walking on your roof.
