Solar Panel Cleaning
Safe, gentle solar panel cleaning — for maximum performance
Dirt, dust, bird droppings and pollen all affect how well your solar panels work. Even a light layer of grime can block sunlight and reduce efficiency. Over time, that means less energy generated and more money spent buying power from the grid.
Our solar panel cleaning service is designed to sort that. We clean your panels gently but thoroughly, using the right tools and techniques to help restore performance and extend the life of your system — with no risk to your panels or property.
Why regular cleaning is essential
Solar panels are built to last — but they’re also constantly exposed to the weather. Without cleaning, it doesn’t take long for muck and organic matter to build up. This blocks sunlight, traps heat, and can wear down the surface over time.
Regular cleaning helps in two ways:
-
Keeps your panels working efficiently – Even a thin film of dust can reduce energy output. A proper clean can improve performance by up to 20%, especially in the spring and summer when sunlight matters most.
-
Protects your investment – Clean panels work better and last longer. Removing grit, moss and other grime reduces the risk of scratches, discolouration or surface wear.
If you can’t remember the last time your panels were cleaned, chances are it’s been too long.
What we do
No ladders used unless required
Risk assessed for every property
Protection, not damage
Some cleaning methods can cause more harm than good. We don’t use anything that might scratch, streak, or wear down the panel surface. Everything is done with care — no shortcuts, no guesswork.
Purified water means no deposits are left behind. Soft brush heads are used to gently lift dirt without marking the glass. And because most work is done from the ground, there’s less risk all round.
Annual or bi-annual plans
For most homes, a once or twice-a-year clean is enough — usually in spring and autumn. But if your panels sit under trees or attract a lot of birds, you might need them cleaned more often.
We’ll advise based on where you live and what your setup is like.
Who it’s for
This is a subscription service on a annual or bi-annual basis . That means we already know your property and how to access it safely. It also means we can keep standards high and avoid missed appointments or awkward arrangements.
We clean panels on both domestic and commercial buildings — as long as you’re on a regular cleaning plan.
Safety first
We don’t cut corners. Every job is reviewed for access and risk, and we never attempt anything unsafe. If ladders or special access gear are needed, we’ll inspect first and quote before carrying out any work. Inspections may be carried out remotely using mapping and surveying tools online.
Our team follows all relevant safety guidance and works within the rules set out in our Service Guarantee.
Why it’s worth it
Solar panels are an investment — and like anything you invest in, they need looking after. A proper clean helps make sure you’re getting the best return, with lower bills, better efficiency, and fewer problems down the line.
If you’re unsure whether your panels need a clean, get in touch. We’ll be honest about what we think, and never push you into anything you don’t need.
