Skyscraper Window Cleaning: What is it?

Skyscraper Window Cleaning: What is it?

The cleaning of skyscrapers, plazas, shopping malls, and various office buildings has become an increasingly interesting topic, especially after the rise of new high-rise buildings. Traditional cleaning methods involved scaffolding and manual labor, but these methods pose significant safety risks for both workers and equipment. Skyscrapers have large glass surfaces that require regular cleaning with appropriate materials to ensure they remain visually appealing. In this article, we will address key aspects of skyscraper window cleaning, particularly in relation to Robsys cleaning robots.

How is Skyscraper Window Cleaning Done?

Skyscraper window cleaning is a task that requires careful attention and adherence to safety regulations due to the height of the structures. Cleaning teams may use scaffolding to access the windows or employ robots for faster, safer, and more efficient cleaning. While manual cleaning with a team can be time-consuming and risky, cleaning robots help to save time and reduce risks significantly. Additionally, robots cut labor costs by up to 8 times.

In manual cleaning, four people may take four days to clean just 1 MW of area. In contrast, robots can clean more than 1 MW per day with only two people. With robots, routine window cleaning on skyscrapers is faster and safer, reducing the time spent and preventing dirt build-up.

For a 4 MW project, robot cleaning may take just 4 days, while manual cleaning could take 20-30 days due to unforeseen issues such as sick leave, accidents, or other personnel problems.

When Should Skyscraper Windows Be Cleaned?

The glass façades of skyscrapers are more prone to dirt accumulation due to environmental factors such as dust, mud, and stains, leading to a poor visual appearance. Skyscrapers are large, tall, and complex, so their window cleaning is a thorough task. While it is typically done in spring, the cleaning frequency can vary depending on the location of the building. In regions with heavy rain or snow, water stains may form on the glass, while in dry areas, dust accumulation may require more frequent cleaning.

Cleaning robots can help speed up the process and achieve higher efficiency in window cleaning.

How to Clean Photovoltaic Panels ?

To ensure photovoltaic (PV) panels produce energy efficiently, they must be cleaned regularly. Dirt, dust, bird droppings, and other contaminants that accumulate on the surface of photovoltaic panels cause shading, leading to a decrease in the panel’s performance.

Determining the Right Time for Cleaning Cleaning should be performed during times when the photovoltaic panels are producing low energy, such as early in the morning or late in the evening. This ensures that cleaning can be done without energy loss.
Preparing the Necessary Equipment When cleaning photovoltaic panels, it is important to use materials that will not damage the surface of the panels. Additionally, a solvent that leaves no residue on the panels after cleaning should be used. For instance, distilled water is ideal since it doesn’t contain solids, preventing streaks or residue on the panels after cleaning.
Inspecting the Surface of the Panels Before starting the cleaning process, the surface of the panels should be inspected for any damage. Cracked or broken panels should not be cleaned and should be referred to an authorized service center for repair.
Cleaning Process To avoid damaging the panels, a soft brush or cloth should be used. Abrasive materials or stiff brushes should never be used. The panels should be washed with pure water, which is applied evenly across the surface to help loosen the dirt. If there is concern about mineral content in the water, low-mineral water can be used. For heavily soiled panels, soap or special cleaning solutions recommended by the manufacturer can be used to help remove the dirt. After using soap or solutions, the panels should be rinsed thoroughly with water to ensure no chemical residues remain on the surface.
Regular Inspections and Maintenance Regular inspections and determining the appropriate cleaning frequency are important for long-term efficiency. Panels in dusty or polluted areas may need to be cleaned more frequently.

Photovoltaic panel cleaning is one of the key ways to maintain and increase energy efficiency. Regular and proper cleaning extends the lifespan of the panels and ensures maximum energy production. Therefore, care should be taken during cleaning, and the manufacturer’s guidelines should always be followed.

What Happens If Solar Power Plants Are Not Cleaned?

What Happens If Solar Power Plants Are Not Cleaned?

If Solar Power Plants (SPPs) are not cleaned, their energy production efficiency can significantly decrease. Dirt, dust, bird droppings, leaves, and other contaminants accumulating on the surfaces of solar panels block sunlight from reaching the panels, directly reducing the amount of energy they can generate and leading to energy production losses. So, what happens when SPPs are not cleaned, and how does this translate into economic losses?

Energy Production Losses

Solar panels covered with contaminants receive less sunlight and generate less electricity. Various studies have shown that dirt buildup on solar panels can cause energy production losses ranging from 5% to 20%.

For instance, an SPP located in a dusty and polluted area may experience annual energy production losses of up to 20%. These losses vary depending on the location, tilt, and environmental factors of the solar panels. In cases where solar panels remain uncleaned for long periods, production losses can reach up to 50%.

Economic Losses

Energy production losses caused by uncleaned SPPs directly translate into economic losses. Calculated at the average energy selling price, these losses can become substantial. In Turkey, as of July 1, 2024, the following tariffs are applicable:

Single-term distribution fee for unlicensed electricity producers: 117.1606 krş/kWh
Single-term distribution fee for producers in the supply direction: 23.0911 krş/kWh (approximately 32% increase)
For facilities operating under unlicensed electricity production based on renewable energy sources, eligible for a connection agreement call letter after May 10, 2019: 36.9322 krş/kWh, according to Law No. 5346.

To calculate the financial loss caused by a 5% production drop in a 1000 kW (1 MW) capacity SPP, we first need to determine the plant’s annual production capacity based on Turkey’s average irradiation levels and sunlight duration:

Annual Energy Production Calculation:

Annual Production (kWh) = Capacity (kW) × Sunlight Duration (h) × Efficiency
Annual Production = 1000 kW × 2741 h × 0.75
Annual Production = 2,055,750.00 kWh

Energy Production Loss Calculation (5%):

Production Loss (kWh) = Annual Production (kWh) × Loss Percentage
Production Loss (kWh) = 2,055,750.00 kWh × 5%
Production Loss (kWh) = 102,787.50 kWh

Economic Loss Calculation:

Economic Loss (TL) = Production Loss (kWh) × Energy Selling Price (krş/kWh)
Economic Loss (TL) = 102,787.50 kWh × 117.1606 krş/kWh
Economic Loss (TL) = 120,437.39 TL

A 1 MW SPP experiencing a 5% production loss incurs an approximate economic loss of 120,437.39 TL. Therefore, regular cleaning and maintenance of solar power plants are crucial to maximize energy production and prevent financial losses.

This calculation is an example for a 1 MW plant. For larger plants or higher energy production losses, the economic impact increases significantly.

Other Adverse Effects

The lack of cleaning not only causes energy production and economic losses but also negatively affects the lifespan of the solar panels. Contaminated surfaces may cause uneven temperature distribution on the panels, leading to thermal stress (hot spots). Over time, this stress can damage panel components, resulting in premature deterioration.

Solution: Regular Cleaning and Maintenance

For SPPs to operate efficiently, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential. Cleaning should be carried out by professional teams using appropriate equipment and techniques. Routine cleaning minimizes energy production losses, prevents economic losses, and extends the lifespan of solar panels, thereby protecting long-term investments.

Conclusion

Failing to clean solar power plants can result in significant energy production losses, leading to considerable economic burdens. Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure that SPPs operate at maximum efficiency and help preserve the value of your investment in the long term.

Why Doesn’t Rainwater Clean Solar Panels?

Solar panel owners often think that rainwater is enough to keep them clean. However, this is like assuming that rainwater can keep your car or home windows clean. Rainwater is not sufficient to remove dirt as well as other issues such as bird droppings, dead insects, pollen, and pollution. Rainwater typically lacks the necessary pressure to remove layers of dirt, such as bird droppings or buildup from the rain. Just like in window cleaning, both rainwater and tap water can leave stains. This is due to the particles present in the water. When rainwater evaporates, it leaves behind dust particles on the surface. These particles vary depending on the location of the solar plant. For example, in industrial zones, rain is more likely to contain acid rain. After dry seasons, the rain brings down dust particles from the air, which then stick to the panel surface, leaving stains.

Furthermore, the loose dust on the panel surface, combined with rain, causes dust to accumulate under each solar panel, leading to significant heating. This buildup can cause the panel surface temperature to rise, from 41°C–45°C to 71.3°C in the accumulation area. Bird droppings or other materials that stick to the surface with rainwater, if left uncleaned, can oxidize and lead to hotspot formation.

When one photovoltaic cell on a panel is shaded, it forces current through the other cells, causing them to heat up. This can significantly reduce the energy output of your panels and shorten their lifespan. Worse yet, it may lead to hotspot formation, rendering your panels unusable. Hotspot formation can even cause fires on your solar panels. In thermal images, we can observe the temperature rising to 80°C due to the accumulation of loose dust particles carried by rainwater.

To prevent issues like hotspot formation and pollution-related losses, solar panels must be cleaned properly. This requires the use of a purified water system. Purified water can be obtained using a deionization (DI) unit or a reverse osmosis/deionization (RODI) unit.

Why Does Energy Loss Occur in Solar Panels ?

Why does energy loss occur in solar panels ?

Energy loss in solar panels can occur due to various factors:

Reflection and Absorption: When sunlight strikes a solar panel, part of it reflects off the surface, while the rest is absorbed by the panel. This reflection and absorption can lead to energy loss. To mitigate this, anti-reflection and absorption-enhancing processes are applied during the manufacturing of solar panels.
Temperature: High temperatures can cause solar panels to lose energy. As the temperature rises, the efficiency of solar panels decreases, with efficiency dropping by about 0.5% per degree Celsius.
Shading: When a solar panel is partially shaded, it generates less power. This is because the shaded cells do not produce electricity, resulting in energy loss.
Cable Resistance: The cables used to connect solar panels may have resistance that causes energy loss. This can occur if the wires are too thin or too long, leading to a voltage drop. Therefore, careful selection of cables is important.
Dirt and Pollution: The accumulation of dirt and debris on a solar panel’s surface reduces the amount of sunlight the panel absorbs, leading to energy loss.
Inverter Losses: Solar panels produce direct current (DC) electricity, but most homes use alternating current (AC). An inverter is used to convert the DC electricity to AC. However, this conversion process is not perfect, and some energy is lost during the transformation.
Aging and Wear: Over time, wear and tear can reduce the efficiency of solar panels. Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to maintain optimal performance.

Impact of Pollution: When it comes to pollution, the accumulation of dust, dirt, and other pollutants on solar panels’ surfaces can reduce efficiency and decrease electricity production. Pollutants block sunlight from reaching photovoltaic cells, which decreases the amount of energy that can be collected.

Research conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that a layer of dust on a solar panel could reduce efficiency by up to 25%. The study also revealed that air pollution, such as fog, could reduce solar panel efficiency by up to 17%.

In addition to reducing energy production, pollution can also cause physical damage to solar panels. For example, acid rain can corrode the surface of panels, which, over time, leads to a decrease in efficiency. Regular cleaning and maintenance are required to mitigate the effects of pollution on solar panels. Pollution can also lead to other factors that cause energy loss.

When the surface of a solar panel is covered with dirt, dust, or other pollutants, the amount of sunlight that reaches the photovoltaic cells is reduced.

This decreases the amount of energy that can be collected, resulting in lower energy production. Dirt and dust can also create hotspots on solar panels, areas where cells reach higher temperatures than the surrounding cells, which can damage the panel and reduce efficiency.Pollutants such as acid rain can corrode the surface of solar panels over time. This causes physical damage to the panel, reducing efficiency and shortening its lifespan.

Pollutants can also cause micro-cracks on the surface of solar panels, leading to electrical faults and lower performance. If pollutants remain on the surface for too long, they can damage the inverter, leading to decreased efficiency and energy production.

To prevent these issues, it is important to clean solar panels regularly to remove accumulated pollutants. Regular cleaning ensures that panels operate at maximum efficiency and produce the highest amount of energy possible.

Cleaning solar panels with a robot offers several advantages over manual cleaning methods:

Faster Cleaning: A robot can clean a large number of solar panels in less time, improving overall efficiency. This is especially beneficial for large solar energy installations where manual cleaning is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Safety: Cleaning solar panels, especially at height, can be dangerous. Using a robot reduces the risk of accidents and injuries, making the cleaning process safer for workers.
Consistent Cleaning: Robots ensure that all panels are cleaned evenly and efficiently. They apply a controlled pressure, cleaning the panels quickly without damaging them. This leads to improved performance and increased energy production.
Cost-Effectiveness: Using a robot eliminates the need for manual labor, reducing costs. Additionally, robots decrease the risk of damaging the panels during cleaning, further reducing repair costs.
Overall Efficiency: Using a robot to clean solar panels results in increased performance and efficiency, lower costs, and is an attractive option for solar panel owners and operators.
