WE OFFER SUPERIOR CLEANING SERVICES!

With over 11 years of experience, customers have trusted our work and respect our diligence. We provide residential, commercial and industrial cleaning.

What We prioritise

Deionised Water

Using deionised water ensures a streak-free and spotless finish. Unlike regular water, deionised water is free from micro-particles and impurities that can leave behind residue and even harm the panel, and its negative charge means that its ability to attract debris is far greater.

Proper Tools For The Job

Solar panels require specialised tools designed to protect the delicate surfaces while delivering a thorough clean. From soft-bristle brushes to water-fed poles, using the right equipment prevents scratches and maximizes cleaning efficiency.

Safety At Heights

Safety is a top priority when working on elevated surfaces. Our team is trained in height safety protocols and equipped with harnesses, secure ladders, and fall protection systems.

FAQs

HAVE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

These are the most commonly asked questions about solar panel cleaning. For answers to any more specific queries, contact us.

Do dirty solar panels really reduce energy production?

Yes! Dirty solar panels can reduce energy production by 10 to 25% depending on the extent of the dirt and debris (such as bird droppings, leaves and sometimes even pollution residues) by forming a layer on top of the panels that block sunlight from reaching them.

Are there professional services for cleaning solar panels?

There are many companies that specialise in solar panel cleaning and maintenance. We use advanced equipment, such as water-fed poles with soft brushes and deionised water, and the proper and knowledge on working at heights to ensure your panels are cleaned safely and effectively. Contact us to get a quote!

How often should solar panels be cleaned?

Typically, solar panels should be cleaned every 3 to 6 months. If you live in an area prone to dust storms, high pollen levels or near construction sites, cleaning may be required every 1 to 3 months. Seasonal factors like falling autumn leaves and winter snow also warrent more frequent maintenance.

Is rain enough to clean solar panels?

Rain can help rinse and remove loose dirt, but it is not sufficient for cleaning stubborn grime, bird droppings or built-up debris. Moreover, rainwater often contains minerals and pollutants that leave streaks on the panels, further reducing its efficiency. Manual and professional cleaning is often needed for optimal performance.

Is there a risk of damaging the panels during cleaning?

Yes. Incorrect cleaning techniques and equipment can scratch and cause significant damage to the panels. Abrasive brushes or spunges can scratch the glass surface and high-pressure water can loosen seals. Hiring professionals ensures the job is done without the risk to the panels or to you.

Will cleaning solar panels void its warranty?

Cleaning solar panels does not void your warranty, provided you follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Some warranties even specify periodic cleaning to maintain performance. However, using improper methods or harsh chemicals that damage the panels can void the warranty.
