Step 1 · Assess Solar Panel Condition

Before starting any cleaning, take a moment to thoroughly examine each solar panel. Look for a uniform layer of dust, pollen, bird droppings, or other residue. Also, check the panels themselves for any cracks, chips, or delamination. If any significant damage is observed, it's best to consult a professional solar panel installer before proceeding with cleaning, as further damage could occur. This initial assessment helps determine the best cleaning approach and identifies potential hazards.
