The efficiency of solar panels can be lowered by pigeon droppings and also it causes a problem in terms of cleaning. Sometimes scaffold is required to be erected to clean the panels which can prove to be expensive.This is an on-going problem in the solar industry and it could have great potential for both the UK and Export markets as many countries now have solar panels on their roof tops.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
