Solar Panel Cleaning in Westport
Solar panels lose output when they get dirty, and Irish conditions are unusually good at making them dirty — persistent damp, algae growth along the lower edge, and lichen where a panel sits in shade. Cleaning is done with deionised water and a soft brush, never detergent, because residue left on the glass attracts more dirt than it removed.

Solar Panel Cleaning in Westport - FAQ
Does rain not clean them?
It rinses loose dust, and that is all. It does nothing for algae and lichen, which is what actually grows on Irish panels — and rain leaves mineral deposits of its own as it dries.
How often should panels be cleaned?
Once a year suits most installations here, more often near trees, farmland or the coast where salt deposits build up.
Can detergent be used?
No. Detergent leaves a film that holds dirt and can void some panel warranties. Deionised water dries without residue, which is the whole reason it is used.
