Project description
Our rooftop solar panel system has been losing output over the past few months, and after checking the inverter readings we believe the drop is caused by a buildup of dust, pollen, and bird droppings on the panel surfaces. We are looking for a reliable technician who can safely access the roof, thoroughly clean every panel, and get the array back to its normal production levels.
The installation consists of a standard residential array mounted on a pitched roof, so the person taking this on should be comfortable working at height and have the proper safety equipment, including a harness and non-slip footwear. We would like the work scheduled during a dry period so the panels can be inspected and cleaned without weather interference, and we expect before-and-after photos so we can confirm the improvement in energy output once the job is finished.
Please use cleaning methods and solutions that will not scratch the glass or damage the anti-reflective coating, and avoid pointing high-pressure washers directly at the cells. We also want a quick visual check of the wiring, connectors, and mounting brackets while you are up there, just to flag anything that looks worn or loose, though we are not asking for repairs as part of this job unless something urgent is found.
Requirements:
— Proven experience cleaning residential solar panel installations
— Own safety gear and roof access equipment (ladder, harness, non-slip shoes)
— Use of soft-bristle tools and non-abrasive, panel-safe cleaning solution
— Before-and-after photos documenting panel condition and output readings
— Basic visual check of wiring and mounting hardware, reported but not repaired
— Completion within the agreed timeframe, ideally on a dry, low-wind day
