Proper cleaning of solar field panels involves the cleaning of mirror surfaces as well as the land (weeds, sand, small stones brought by the wind, etc).

Maintenance work in solar fields is necessary because dirt accumulated in the solar panels causes the total production of energy to decrease by between 3 and 5%. Considering that according to current legislation, solar energy fields are guaranteed to operate for at least 25 years, losses occurred over a large period of time could be enormous.
