How we clean Solar Panels
We use a pure water cleaning system to safely and effectively restore your solar panel performance without causing any damage.
Our process uses RO/DI (Reverse Osmosis & Deionised) water, which is purified to remove all minerals and impurities. This means your panels are cleaned using 100% pure water, leaving no streaks, residue, or spotting behind.
Using a water fed pole system, we clean your panels from the ground, eliminating the need to walk on your roof. This protects both your property and the integrity of your solar panels.
The soft brush head gently removes dirt, dust, bird droppings, and debris, while the purified water rinses everything away for a spotless, professional finish.
Why you need to clean your solar panels
Solar panels work by absorbing sunlight, but when they’re covered in dirt, they simply can’t perform at their best.
Over time, panels collect dust, pollen, bird droppings, pollution, and general grime. This layer blocks sunlight from reaching the cells, which can significantly reduce how much energy your system produces.
Loss of Efficiency
Even a light layer of dirt can have a noticeable impact.
-
Panels can lose 10–20% efficiency if left uncleaned
-
In high-pollution or bird-heavy areas, losses can be even higher
-
Less efficiency = less energy generated and lower savings
Regular cleaning ensures your panels are working at their maximum output, helping you get the full return on your investment.
Protecting Your Warranty
Many solar panel manufacturers recommend regular maintenance and cleaning as part of their warranty conditions.
If panels are left to build up heavy dirt or staining:
-
It can cause long-term damage or “hot spots”
-
Performance issues may not be covered if proper care hasn’t been maintained
-
You risk voiding parts of your warranty
Keeping your panels clean isn’t just about performance, it’s about protecting your system long term.
