Solar Panel Cleaning

Professional Solar Panel Cleaning Services

Your solar panels are a significant investment – make sure they’re working at maximum efficiency. Dust, pollen, bird droppings and general grime can reduce your solar output by up to 25%. Our professional solar panel cleaning service keeps your panels performing at their best.

Why Solar Panel Cleaning Matters

Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity. When panels are covered in:

• Bird droppings – can block significant areas
• Dust and pollen – builds up over time
• Tree sap – sticky and attracts more dirt
• Pollution – particularly in urban areas
• Moss and lichen – on shaded panels

…less sunlight reaches the cells, and your energy output drops.

Studies show that dirty solar panels can lose 15-25% of their potential output. Regular cleaning ensures you’re getting the return on investment you deserve.

Our Solar Panel Cleaning Method

We use the same purified water system that solar panel manufacturers recommend:

1. Visual inspection – we check panels for any obvious damage
2. Gentle pre-rinse – to loosen debris
3. Soft brush cleaning – removes all grime without scratching
4. Pure water rinse – leaves panels spot-free

Why Pure Water?

Our purified water has had all minerals removed, so it:

• Dries without leaving water spots
• Contains no chemicals that could damage panels
• Is safe for all panel types
• Is environmentally friendly

Safe Access

We typically clean solar panels from ground level using our water-fed pole system. This is safer than roof access and eliminates any risk of damage from walking on your roof or panels.

For panels that require closer access, our team is trained in safe working at height procedures and fully insured.

When to Clean Your Panels

We recommend solar panel cleaning:

• At least once a year – preferably in spring after winter grime
• Twice yearly – if you have trees or birds nearby
• After birds nest – heavy droppings warrant immediate cleaning
• Before summer – to maximise output during peak sun months

Protect Your Investment

Solar panels typically last 25-30 years, but only if properly maintained. Regular cleaning:

• Maximises energy production
• Helps identify any issues early
• Protects the panel surface
• Maintains your warranty (some warranties require regular cleaning)
