Why panels get dirty faster in Hawaii
Ocean air deposits salt. Wind carries fine dust. Light rain can leave spots. Over time, grime bonds to the surface and reduces light transmission. You might not notice day to day, but your system does.
How often should you clean solar panels in Maui?
- Coastal homes: every 3 to 6 months
- Upcountry: every 6 to 12 months
- After ash or heavy dust events: as needed
What to avoid
- High pressure close-range spraying
- Abrasive pads or harsh brushes
- Strong chemicals that can damage coatings
- Climbing on roofs without proper safety gear
The safe pro method
Professional solar panel washing typically uses purified water and soft brushes to remove salt and grime without leaving minerals behind. That “spot-free” approach matters in Maui.
