Solar energy is one of the cleanest power sources, but even renewable systems have environmental costs—especially when it comes to keeping panels clean. Studies show that cleaning panels improperly can waste thousands of liters of water, lead to CO₂ emissions from manual labor, and accelerate material degradation.

As the world shifts towards renewable energy, solar panels have become a beacon of sustainability. However, maintaining these panels—particularly cleaning them—can ironically come with environmental costs.
