Solar Panel Cleaning

Why clean your solar panels?

Rain alone doesn't keep solar panels clean. It tends to wash dirt to the bottom edge of each panel, where it dries into a film and encourages moss and algae to grow along the frame. Bird droppings are even worse: a single dropping can shade a section of a panel. Over time, that build-up can reduce the amount of electricity your system produces.

How we clean solar panels

• Pure water only. We use purified water, which dries spot-free and leaves no residue — no detergents that could affect the panel coating.
• Soft brushes. Gentle, purpose-made brushes lift dirt without scratching the glass.
• Frames and edges. Moss and algae along the lower frames are removed, where build-up is usually worst.
• Visual check. We'll let you know if we spot anything unusual such as damaged panels or signs of nesting birds underneath.

How often should solar panels be cleaned?

Once or twice a year suits most homes. Panels near farmland, trees or busy roads, or on low-pitched roofs, may benefit from more frequent cleaning. If you're having your roof cleaned or gutters cleared, it makes sense to do the panels at the same visit.
