Lichens on solar panels: a common but often underestimated problem

Over time, solar panels can be affected by lichens, mosses and other microorganisms. These deposits, often inconspicuous at first, quickly become a real problem for the performance of your photovoltaic system.

Unlike conventional dirt (dust, pollution, pollen), lichens embed themselves deep into the surface of the panel. They develop microscopic roots, making them particularly resistant to conventional cleaning.

Why are lichens difficult to remove?

Lichens are persistent, tenacious and resistant. Simple cleaning with water or even high-pressure cleaning is usually not enough to remove them permanently.

Without appropriate treatment:

• Do they grow back quickly
• Can damage the surface of the panels
• Do they significantly reduce energy efficiency

👉 Result: loss of production and therefore profitability.

Neosys’ solution: thorough treatment + ecological cleaning

At Neosys, we have developed a professional and sustainable approach to address this type of problem.

Our method is based on 3 main steps:

1. 1. Ecological in-depth treatment.
Application of a specific solution that penetrates to the roots of the lichens to neutralize them in the long term.

2. Targeted action.
Deep destruction of microorganisms to prevent rapid regrowth.

3. Cleaning with osmosis water
Gentle cleaning, without harsh chemicals, for a flawless finish without streaks or residue.

A respectful, effective approach

Our approach is :

• Ecological: environmentally friendly products
• Effective: sustainable removal of lichens
• Safe: adapted to sensitive installations
