Miranda Single Storey Solar Clean
The owner of this property in Miranda, a suburb in the Sutherland Shire of Sydney, has seen power bills as low as $48 since installing his solar. When monitoring power generation, he has reported reduced power generation when the cells became dirty.
Being of a black background, it is not always easy to see the dirt build up on the solar panels. The skylight shown on the roof of this property demonstrates what the solar panels are exposed to and what can build up on the surface.
Standing under this skylight, it is easy to see the reduced sunlight being bought into the room when it is dirty. Imagine the reduced sunlight getting to your solar panels and subsequent increases in your power bill!
The result we produced here was another fine effort and the owner very pleased with our attention to detail. Browse the pictures to find out more about this job.
Regarding savings, in the 2 days preceding this clean, the owner reported at the 8.20am, in similiar light conditions, a power generation of 2.4kW and 2.75 – 3kW respectively. At the same time in similiar conditions the day after the clean, he reported 3.5-3.6 kW, this is a substantial improvement for these panels with a minimum of 17% improvement in power generation, which at first glance from street level, appeared not to be too dirty with no lichen present.
Rooftop work is very dangerous, roofs are not meant to be walked on due to the risk of falls causing serious injury (or death) and potential for damage. We take the time to not only do a quality job, but to do it in a safe manner avoiding falls and potential broken or damaged tiles/roofing.
Single storeys are always cheaper to complete solar cleaning than two storeys since there is often less set up time to gain safe entry to the roof without the need to hire any special equipment such as cherry pickers.
Many modern two-level homes are not designed for safe access to the roof, much to the disappointment of these very homeowners who must bear extra cost. If installing solar on a two-level home or more, we suggest the biggest solar array possible to get the best value out of your solar clean. We also suggest a good look at the roofline when designing the home to allow safe access in the future.
Pricing is less about the number of panels than you may think, it’s more about set up and pack times, with the cleaning time being sandwiched in the middle. That’s why we quote each job individually after making an online assessment in special viewing software.
