Solar Panel Cleaning At Derby University Completed

by | Sep 26, 2014 | Bird Droppings, Derby

Clean Solar Solutions provide award winning solar maintenance and solar panel cleaning in Derby. Clean Solar Solutions have completed the cleaning of 146 roof mounted solar panels at the University of Derby. By the end of the year, Clean Solar Solutions will have cleaned solar panels on over 43 schools and colleges.

Why Did The Solar Panels Need Cleaning?

We were called in because the output from the solar array had dropped noticeably. The University thought it was due to the build-up of dust on the solar panels. When we checked the solar panels prior to cleaning though, it was for a different reason. While there was a noticeable layer of grime accumulating, bird droppings were the main issue.

Steve Williams M.D. of Clean Solar Solutions comments “We are glad that the University chose us to carry out their solar panel cleaning. We have received a large volume of enquiries recently about problems with birds. We provide bird deterrent solutions for reducing the impact that birds have on solar arrays. This marries nicely with our solar panel cleaning service. We are very confident that the University will no doubt see an increase in output due to having their solar panels cleaned.”
