Location: Mt Cargill, Dunedin
System: 20-panel off-grid solar array
Issues: Moss buildup, bird droppings, general dust and debris
Nestled on the rugged slopes of Mt Cargill in Dunedin, this off-grid home relies entirely on solar power to meet its energy needs. Recently, the Eco Solar Clean team was called in to professionally clean a 20-panel solar array that had started to show signs of environmental buildup.
Over time, moss had started growing along the lower edges of the panels, while bird droppings and wind-blown dust were also settling across the surface. These factors are common in rural and semi-remote areas like Mt Cargill, where exposure to the elements is constant and natural maintenance from rainfall isn’t always sufficient.
Regular cleaning of solar panels is critical in off-grid setups. Even light layers of dirt or moss can significantly reduce power output, which in remote homes can mean the difference between lights on or off.
Why Solar Panel Cleaning Matters in Dunedin’s Rural Areas
Dunedin’s changing weather patterns, combined with wind-blown debris from surrounding hills and bush, make routine solar maintenance more than just a nice-to-have, it’s a necessity for peak system performance.
