Are solar panels self-cleaning?
The answer is sort of.Â
Solar panels are not completely self-cleaning, but they do have some self-cleaning properties. Solar panels are made from self-cleaning glass, which means that they have a special coating that makes them resistant to dust, dirt, and debris. This coating also helps the rainwater to slide off the surface of the panels, washing away some of the accumulated dirt. However, self-cleaning glass is not perfect. In dry and dusty environments, rainwater may not be enough to keep the solar panels clean. Also, if the solar panels are installed at a low angle, the rainwater may not drain properly, leaving behind stains or spots. That’s why regular solar panel cleaning is always recommended to ensure your solar panel system reaches optimal performance.

Matt Alexander’s Solar Energy Success Story
A 5-Star Review of NXTGEN Energy’s Products & Services
The work’s been done to an incredibly high standard. The cabling is really neat, the system is performing fantastically well, and we can’t believe how much money we’ve saved already. So, generally a big thank you to Stuart, Kelly and everyone at the NXTGEN team, who have done a really, really good job from start to finish.
We really couldn’t be more pleased.
