We're your solar panel cleaning company
Get your dirty solar panels scrubbed clean with Arem Solar. Frequent rain cannot sufficiently clean your panels to maintain peak performance.
Over time, pollen, dust, debris, bird droppings, and grime can hinder your home’s solar panels from efficiently producing electricity.
This blockage prevents sunlight absorption, leading to decreased energy production and a shortened lifespan for your solar energy system. We work in Lagos.

Solar panels work by absorbing sunlight and converting it into electricity. For this process to work efficiently, it is crucial that sunlight can reach the solar cells without any hindrance. However, outdoor exposure also means that dust, dirt, pollen, bird droppings, and other debris accumulate constantly on the panel surface.
Studies have shown that dirty solar panels can lose up to 50% of their power generation capabilities if not cleaned regularly. In regions with plenty of sunshine like Lagos, even a small layer of dust, salt or sand reduces light absorption significantly. Over time, grime buildup leads to long-term module damage as well.
Cleaning removes obstructing particles and restores the panels’ ability to harness the full energy potential from sunlight. Most solar panel manufacturers recommend professional cleaning every 6-12 months as maintenance best practice. For solar installations in environments prone to faster soiling like deserts or agricultural regions, more frequent cleaning is ideal.
Proper water-based cleaning combined with long-reach tools can improve solar efficiency tremendously. In fact, energy gains after PV panel washing often offset over 1/3rd the cost of a professional cleaning service. Keeping panels dust-free is essential for lower operating costs and faster ROI in the long run. For solar owners, this is critical to tap into the abundant free sunshine for maximum energy saving.
Who we serve

Benefits of Solar panel cleaning
Increased Energy Efficiency: Dust, dirt, and debris accumulation on solar panels can reduce their efficiency by blocking sunlight. Regular cleaning ensures maximum light absorption, leading to increased energy production.
Increased Energy Production: Clean solar panels are proven to generate up to 25% more power output as dust and dirt block sunlight absorption. Regular cleaning restores full capacity.
Longer Lifespan: Proper maintenance, including regular cleaning, helps extend the lifespan of solar panels. Clean panels are less prone to damage and are likely to function at peak capacity for a more extended period.
Cost Savings: By maintaining optimal efficiency, clean solar panels reduce the need for additional energy sources, potentially lowering your electricity bills. The upfront cost of cleaning is often outweighed by the long-term savings in energy production.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Clean solar panels look more attractive and contribute to the overall appearance of your property. This can be particularly important for residential installations where aesthetics matter.
Prevention of Hot Spots: Accumulated dirt or shading on certain parts of a solar panel can lead to hot spots, where localized heating occurs. This can potentially damage the panel over time. Regular cleaning helps prevent the formation of hotspots.
Maintained System Safety: Regular inspection during the cleaning process allows for the identification of any potential issues or damage to the solar panels. Timely detection of problems ensures that your system operates safely and efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often do you need to clean solar panels in Nigeria?
Solar panels in Nigeria typically benefit from cleaning every 6 to 12 months, depending on local weather conditions and environmental factors.
Is solar cleaning worth it?
Yes, regular solar panel cleaning is worth it as it ensures optimal efficiency and performance. Clean panels maximize energy production and extend the lifespan of your solar system.
What is the demand for solar panel cleaning?
The demand for solar panel cleaning is on the rise, driven by the growing adoption of solar energy. Businesses and homeowners recognize the importance of maintaining peak efficiency for their solar investments.
What happens if you don't clean your solar panels?
If solar panels are not regularly cleaned, dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate, reducing their efficiency. This buildup may lead to a decrease in energy production and potentially impact the overall performance of the solar system.
What is the best time of day to clean solar panels?
The early morning or late afternoon is generally the best time to clean solar panels. This avoids cleaning during peak sunlight hours, minimizes the risk of immediate re-soiling due to rapid evaporation of water and ensures safer working conditions for maintenance.
