Cleaning & maintenance

Dust is quietly costing you units

Ahmedabad is a dusty city with a long dry season. A film of dust on the glass does not look like much, but it takes a real bite out of what your array generates — and because the loss is gradual, almost nobody notices until they compare a monthly generation figure against the same month last year.

What a visit covers

  • Panel wash with clean water and soft brushes — no detergents, no abrasives, nothing that scratches the anti-reflective coating
  • Visual check of every panel for cracks, hot spots, discolouration and delamination
  • Inverter check: error log, display readings, cooling vents cleared
  • Mounting structure tightened and fasteners checked
  • DC and AC cabling, conduit, ACDB and DCDB inspected for wear or water ingress
  • Earthing continuity check
  • Generation reading compared against expected output for the season, with a written note of anything found

Why not just do it yourself?

You can, and for a single-storey house with easy access we will happily show you how. Two honest reasons people take a contract instead:

  • Safety. Wet glass on a raised structure at first-floor height is where accidents happen.
  • The inspection matters more than the wash. A cracked panel or a corroding connection found early is a warranty claim; found late it is your problem.

How often, realistically

It depends where you are and what is around you. We will tell you honestly after seeing the site.

Standard home

Cleaning through the dry, dusty months and a full inspection twice a year suits most homes in the region.

Near a main road or industrial area

Naroda, Odhav, Bapunagar and similar areas load up with dust and grime much faster. More frequent cleaning genuinely pays for itself here.

Societies and larger arrays

Scheduled visits on a fixed calendar so the committee is not chasing anyone, with a written report after each visit.

Contract pricing depends on system size, access and frequency. Tell us your size and area and we will quote it.

Maintenance questions

We did not buy the system from you. Will you still service it?

Yes. We maintain systems installed by anyone. If we find work needed beyond cleaning, see repair and system takeover.

Does cleaning void my panel warranty?

Not when it is done properly. Water and soft brushes only. High-pressure jets and detergents are what cause problems, which is precisely why we do not use them.

Can I tell whether mine needs cleaning?

Compare this month’s units in the monitoring app against the same month last year. A drop that weather does not explain is usually dust — sometimes shade from a tree that has grown.

Do you cover the whole Ahmedabad region?

Yes. Our head office is in Bapunagar and we work across the region, east side included.
