Daniel Moser from SunBrush mobil GmbH discusses the importance of cleaning photovoltaic (PV) systems to maintain their efficiency and avoid damage. His company, SunBrush mobil , specializes in cleaning PV panels in large solar parks using an innovative system called Washtronic. Daniel outlines why cleaning is crucial: it prevents energy loss due to shading caused by soiling agents like snow, sand, bird droppings, and ammonia on farm rooftops; avoids physical damage such as corrosion and electrical hot spots; and helps retain warranties by performing regular maintenance. He explains different types of soiling that affect PV systems—snow significantly impacts efficiency while sand poses a problem both in arid regions globally and occasionally even in Germany due to Sahara dust storms. Bird droppings cause shading issues too, whereas ammonia from farming environments can be particularly corrosive. Finally, Daniel addresses the economic aspect with a break-even analysis for cleaning based on feed-in tariffs per region and installation year. He shows how larger parks require less frequent cleanings but still benefit economically despite slight unevenness challenges handled effectively by their proprietary Washtronic system designed to prevent brush-induced panel damage during operation across rough terrains.
