Why do solar panels need cleaning?

Over time, solar panels can accumulate dirt, dust, bird droppings, algae, pollen, and other debris. This build-up can reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the panels, potentially affecting their efficiency and energy output.

How often should solar panels be cleaned?

For most residential properties, we recommend having solar panels professionally cleaned every 12 to 24 months. However, properties located near trees, busy roads, agricultural land, or coastal areas may benefit from more frequent cleaning.

How do you clean solar panels?

We use a specialist pure water cleaning system and soft-bristled equipment designed specifically for solar panels. This method safely removes dirt and contaminants without the use of harsh chemicals, leaving a spotless, streak-free finish.

Will cleaning improve the performance of my solar panels?

Keeping solar panels clean helps ensure they can operate as efficiently as possible by maximising the amount of sunlight reaching the photovoltaic cells. The improvement in performance will vary depending on the level of dirt and contamination present before cleaning.

Do you use chemicals when cleaning solar panels?

No. We use purified water and specialist equipment to safely clean solar panels without the need for detergents or chemicals that could leave residue or potentially affect performance.

Can cleaning damage my solar panels?

No. When cleaned correctly using appropriate equipment and techniques, solar panels can be cleaned safely without causing damage. We use methods specifically designed for solar panel maintenance.

Do I need to be at home while the work is carried out?

No. As long as we have safe access to the property and the panels, you do not need to be present while the work is completed.

How long does solar panel cleaning take?

The time required depends on the number of panels, their accessibility, and their condition. Most residential solar panel cleaning appointments can be completed within 1 to 2 hours.
