The accumulation of bird droppings obstructs sunlight from reaching photovoltaic cells, resulting in reduced electricity generation. This obstruction not only decreases efficiency but also lowers the overall output of the solar panel system. A study on solar PV performance under bird-dropping conditions quantified just how severe an effect a few droppings can have. Researchers found that soiling can slash a panel's. . Extensive research has highlighted the significant impact of birds, particularly their droppings, on solar panel efficiency.

Rinse first to soften loose dirt and droppings. Soak stubborn spots with soapy water for a minute, then gently brush with a soft flow-through brush. Inspect mounts and frames visually while. . Bird droppings act like small, opaque shields, blocking photons from reaching the photovoltaic cells beneath the glass. Let's outline the ways they influence your system. Solar panels need sunlight to create electricity.
