A Home in Sunbury

Transformation...

These panels were removed, cleaned, re-installed and tested to allow the roof to be replaced for this Surrey homeowner.

Before

After

Steve's shed roof was in urgent need of repair, with leaks causing damage to what he was storing there. However, he couldn't get anyone to fix the roof until the solar panels were removed.

Despite reaching out to several companies, including the ones who installed the panels, all he received were either ridiculous quote prices or simply refused the work.

At Zion Energy, we were happy to help at a price that Steve was delighted with. We even offered to test and clean the panels at no extra cost!

How we helped

The Importance of Clean Panels

Regular cleaning of solar panels is important for 3 reasons

1. Increase the production of your solar panels!

Keeping your panels clean will significantly affect the amount of energy they produce and therefore the amount of money you save! The Solar Energy Power Association notes that dirty solar panels can lose 20% of their energy output. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory puts that figure even higher, at 25%.

2. Protect your Warranty

Some manufacturers have made regular cleaning of their solar panels a stipulation of the warranty. So to protect your investment it can be wise to ensure you have some proof of regular cleaning.

3. A Better Aesthetic

We have all seen those houses with neglected solar panels bringing down the overall look of what can be a beautiful home. Although the aesthetic isn't vital, it's yet another reason that makes cleaning your solar panels worth the effort.

What he had to say

Here is what Steve had to say about their Zion Energy Experience.

"I struggled even to get anyone to quote for the job of removing and replacing my PV solar panels. I was having my garage roof replaced. Ezra from Zion Energy was polite and responsive to my requests. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional, especially after liaising with the roofers and suppliers when a last-minute change to the type of roof was decided upon.

There was a pre work site visit which filled me with confidence that I had chosen the right company.
A fast and efficient removal of the panels took place. When it came to replacing the panels on the new roof each panel was thoroughly cleaned and tested before reinstallation I would have no hesitation in recommending Zion Energy. "
