When to Clean Solar Panels: Ideal Frequency by Climate and Decision Checklist
Deciding the exact time to clean the photovoltaic modules at a medium- or large-scale (utility-scale) power plant is an operational management decision that aims to optimize the balance between maintenance costs (OPEX) and the financial return on generation (ROI). Cleaning too early generates unnecessary costs; delaying cleaning compromises the plant’s revenue. So, how do you make the best decision? Below, we present a practical guide to help guide decision-making in the field.
