Clocks went forward this morning, and summer sun is on its way.
Solar panels need direct light, and anything sitting on the glass gets in the way. Look at the first photo: the top panel has been cleaned, and the rest still have dust and growth across the cells.
Dirty panels can produce less power than clean ones. On the coast, salt spray and bird droppings add to it.
The second is a hotel rooftop job in Port Macquarie. Not a bad
office.
