Over time, solar panels will get covered with pollution, dust, grime, and bird droppings. These obstructions block sunlight and will reduce power production. According to National Renewable Energy, solar energy loss can range as high as 25% in some areas. When solar panels are not cleaned, an increase in power generation on the inverters is immediately seen. It really depends on where you live and the weather conditions. Solar panels installed in windy and dusty areas may require more frequent inspection and cleaning. Some areas need a weekly washing while other areas can go every other month
