We all know how green things start to look around pollen season especially here in the Texas Hill Country. Dirt, dust, pollen, and debris is simply a form of shading on your panels. As this soiling builds up over time, it can effectively damages the cell(s) and decrease the functional lifespan of the solar panel itself. Not to mention when most solar PV systems are cleaned, an immediate 10-20% production increase is typically seen.
