Dust, pollen and construction fallout
Construction sites, mine tailings and seasonal pollen all add to the load. A thin, even film is enough to cut yield, and it is exactly the layer that rain does not clear.
Solar cleaning, Johannesburg
Solar panel cleaning in Johannesburg.
Highveld dust is fine, dry and persistent, and it settles on solar glass faster than most owners expect. SKAI rinses arrays from the air with purified water so the glass is not abraded.
Hail and storm season
After storms, panels carry dust washed into streaks plus leaves and grit along frames. Cleaning follows the rainy season rather than ignoring it.
Industrial and warehouse roofs
Large arrays in Germiston, Midrand and the industrial belts are cleaned in phases, without scaffolding in the yard or shutting production.
Residential estates
Estate and complex arrays are cleaned at low pressure with runoff kept away from paving, pools and gardens.
Questions
Common questions.
01How much output does dust cost in Johannesburg?
It varies with the site, but a visible film is already costing yield. Monitoring before and after cleaning shows the difference on that specific array.
02Is drone cleaning safe for the panels?
Yes, when pressure and water quality are controlled. No brushes, no abrasives, no walking on the modules.
03Can you clean arrays on factory roofs?
Yes, planned around roof access, plant and skylights.
04Do you clean in winter?
Yes, though dust loads are usually higher in the dry season and the cycle reflects that.
