Q: Do solar panels need to be cleaned?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s not completely necessary for them to operate properly, as the occasional rainfall can rinse away dirt and debris, manually cleaning solar panels from time to time can keep them operating more efficiently.</p><p>Dirt, debris, pollen, and bird droppings can collect on the surface of the panels. Depending on the amount of solar panels you have, this can add up over time, so set a regular maintenance schedule. Moreover, if you live in a climate with little to no rainfall, more debris can accumulate, causing inefficiencies that would be clear in your electricity bill. </p></div>

Q: How often should I have my roof cleaned?

• <div><p>A professional roof cleaning lasts about a year on average, so it&rsquo;s best to do it annually. This schedule helps catch any roof problems before they become extensive and helps prevent mold, moss, and algae from forming. If you live near the coast, annual roof cleaning will help prevent salt buildup on your roof. You can add professional roof cleaning to your yearly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spring-home-inspection-checklist.htm">home maintenance checklist</a> to ensure you never miss a year. </p></div>

Q: Do repairs include cleaning?

• <div><p>Yes, many services include cleaning as part of the repair process. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: Should asphalt shingles be power washed?

• <div><p>No, asphalt shingles should not be power washed. A power washer or pressure washer is too strong to use on asphalt shingles and will loosen the adhesive holding them to your roof, causing them to fall off. It&rsquo;s best to hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/roof-cleaners/">local roof cleaner</a> to clean those shingles safely and without damaging them. </p></div>
