Bird Nest & Droppings Removal from Solar Panels in Gurgaon
Bird nesting and droppings on solar panels are more than a cosmetic issue—they reduce panel efficiency, cause corrosion, and risk fire hazards due to hot spots. In Gurgaon’s urban setting, where solar power is increasingly common, these issues can significantly impact performance. AKS Facilities specializes in Bird Nest & Dropping Removal from Solar Panels in Gurgaon—providing professional cleaning that’s safe, effective, and long-lasting.
Why This Service Matters in Gurgaon
Efficiency Loss & Hot Spots
Bird droppings are dense and highly refined, causing shading of photovoltaic cells and creating “hot spots.” Even a small patch can result in localized overheating of up to 35–70 °C, reducing energy output by 25–30% almost immediately.
Corrosion & Physical Damage
Extraordinary acidity of bird droppings (pH around 3–4.5) corrodes metal frames, coatings, and joints. Over time, this can weaken structural integrity or cause cracks in panel glass.
“Sticky” Residue & Maintenance Issues
The uric acid in droppings acts like glue—hardening in place and resisting rain cleaning. Mechanical removal can risk scratching tempered glass.
Increased Maintenance Frequency
Unlike dust, which is smoother, bird droppings require professional, frequent cleanings—ideally every 2–4 months for panels in high bird activity zones like Gurgaon.
Our Solar Cleaning Method (Expert Approach)
1. On-Site Assessment
Identify solar panel layout, access method, and bird activity zones to customize the cleaning process.
2. Pre-Wetting & Safe Nest Extraction
We moisten droppings to reduce airborne particles and safely remove nests without harming wildlife or equipment.
3. Gentle Non-Abrasive Cleaning
We use soft microfibers or sponges with mild detergents. Circular scrubbing is avoided in favor of straight-line motions to reduce scratch risk.
4. Rinse & Clean Technique
We use low-pressure water from hoses to rinse; pressure washers are avoided to prevent damage.
5. Inspection & Optional Bird-Deterrents
Post-clean checks ensure no hotspots or residue remains. We can install barriers like mesh or spikes for long-term protection.
How Often Should You Clean?
High bird traffic locations: every 2–3 months
Moderate traffic areas: twice a year
Best times: early morning or late evening to avoid thermal stress or panel crack risk.
FAQs – Bird Nest & Dropping Removal from Solar Panels in Gurgaon
Q: How much performance is lost due to droppings?
Expect up to 30% efficiency loss due to shading and hot spot formation.
Q: Can rain clean the panels?
No—bird droppings often harden and remain fixed unless professionally cleaned.
Q: Is pressure washing safe for solar panels?
No—high pressure can crack or scratch panels; we use low-pressure rinses only.
Q: Best time for cleaning?
Cool parts of the day—early morning or evening—reduce risk of thermal stress.
Q: DIY vs Professional?
DIY is risky due to panel fragility and working at height. Professionals ensure safe access and preserve warranties.
