If you live in the desert or it hasn t rained in a while you may notice a layer of dust or dirt building up on your panels every month or so.
However most people asking this question would likely only have solar panels on.
In most climates if there is dust or debris on the panels and their energy output is registered 5 less than other times the next rain will wash away the debris and the solar panels will return to their optimal efficiency.
Dirty solar panels will see an average 3 5 production boost when cleaned.
On average when your solar panels get dirty expect a 5 or less change in output.
Smart meters apparently have caused dirty electricity and the problem with the solar panels is not in the panels themselves but when the dc from the panel is converted back into ac.
One study found that solar panels produce 96 98 of the energy they d normally produce when they re dirty.
Worse rainwater can wash many of these toxics out of the fragments of solar modules over time.
What harm would solar panels be causing to us.

It s risky both for you and your panels.

They also contain lead cadmium and other toxic even carcinogenic chemicals that cannot be removed without breaking apart the entire panel.
Do solar panels create dirty electricity emf and radiation.
One thing learned during the coronavirus pandemic was the effectiveness of soap and water regularly washing our hands was our best defense.
While dirty solar panels do benefit from a regular washing to ward off reduced output and efficiency soap isn t the answer here.
Worse yet they generate a lot of dirty electricity especially stand alone systems.
Brushing any loose dirt off before spraying them with water will make the squeegeeing.
Dirt accumulation soiling is accounted for by our design team when calculating solar production.
Dirty electricity is another form of emf radiation and is caused by spikes or surges in your electricity supply.
