Reviving Solar Efficiency: A Decade of Lichen Removed at Otago Golf Course
Today, the Eco Solar Clean team was out in full force, tackling a solar panel cleaning job in one of the most scenic locations—right next to the beautiful Otago Golf Course. While the view was stunning, the condition of some the solar panels was far from it!
10 Years Without a Clean – The Impact on Solar Panels
These solar panels hadn’t been cleaned in over a decade, and the results were clear: thick lichen growth, dirt buildup, and reduced efficiency. Lichen is one of the biggest threats to solar panel performance—it creates hot spots that can damage the panels over time and significantly decrease energy output.
Why Regular Solar Panel Cleaning Matters
Without regular solar panel maintenance, dirt, dust, and lichen can block sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic cells. This means:
Reduced energy efficiency – Less sunlight means lower power generation.
Potential damage – Lichen can cause hot spots, which may lead to costly repairs.
Shortened lifespan – A well-maintained solar system lasts longer and performs better.
The Eco Solar Clean Difference
Using our professional solar panel cleaning techniques, we safely removed years of buildup without causing any damage. By the time we finished, the panels were spotless and ready to operate at maximum efficiency once again.
